THE threat from COVID-19 second wave of infections has forced Solomon Finance Limited (SFL) to temporarily suspend the physical contact and processing of loan applications from customers.
In a statement issued by the SFL Deputy Chairman Tony Langston, on on behalf of the Board of Directors, Mr. Langston advised all customers that the board had temporarily halted the physical contact and processing of loan applications from customers.
“Due to the current second wave of COVID-19 virus prevailing in Honiara, and to protect the wellbeing of SFL staff and customers, the SFL Board has decided to temporarily halt the physical contact and processing of loan applications from customers with immediate effect,” the deputy chairman said.
He said all loan applications already received will be processed in the usual manner and applicants will be advised of the outcome in due course.
He said, the Board will announce at a future date when normal business will resume.
In the meantime, customers who have filled their loan applications and have obtained all the required documents are advised to submit their loan applications online or by post.
“The SFL Board and Management regret to take this temporary measure, but this is necessary to protect the wellbeing of its staff and customers,” Mr. Langston said.
Since its opening early this year, many customers in Honiara and the provinces have flooded the office to submit their loans.
Some are taking new loans, others additional while many are refinancing.
Many customers from the provinces are also applying.
