Banking Circular No 1 of 2012 - Implementation of New Banking System
Dear [Recipient's Name], Subject: Proposed Changes to Your Loan Agreement I hope this email finds you well. I am writing on behalf of our finance department to inform you about a few proposed changes to your loan agreement. As you may be aware, we periodically review and update our terms in order to ensure that they remain relevant and effective. These updates are intended to benefit both ourselves and our clients alike. Below, I have outlined the key points of these proposed changes for your reference: 1. Interest Rate: The interest rate on your loan will be increased from [previous interest rate]% per annum to [new interest rate]% per annum. This change is expected to take effect from [effective date]. 2. Loan Term: Your loan term has been extended by an additional year, bringing the total length of your loan to [new loan term] years. This will provide you with more time to repay the loan and may reduce your monthly payments. 3. Early Repayment Penalty: We have introduced a new early repayment penalty for loans that are paid off before their scheduled maturity date. A fee equal to 5% of the outstanding principal amount will be charged if you choose to repay the loan early. This change is designed to help us recover the costs associated with managing and administering your loan. 4. Collateral Requirements: You may now be required to provide additional collateral as security for your loan. If this affects you, a member of our finance team will be in touch with further details. This change is being implemented to mitigate the risk associated with lending and ensure that we can continue to offer competitive rates and terms to our clients. 5. Loan Repayment Schedule: We have updated the loan repayment schedule for your account. Your new repayment dates, which take effect from [effective date], are detailed in the attached document. Please review these carefully and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. 6. Loan Cancellation: You now have the option to cancel your loan at any time by providing 30 days' written notice. Upon cancellation, you will be responsible for paying any outstanding principal and interest, as well as any early repayment penalties that may apply. This change is designed to give you more flexibility and control over your finances. Please note that these proposed changes will only take effect once they have been accepted by both parties and signed off on the relevant documentation. We encourage you to review the updated terms carefully and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. If you are happy with the changes, simply sign and return the enclosed amendment form within [deadline] days of receipt. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter, and we look forward to continuing to support you as a valued client. If you would like further clarification on any of these proposed changes, please do not hesitate to contact us directly at [contact number]. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Position/Title] [Company Name] Enclosures: Amendment Form, Updated Loan Agreement Terms and Conditions.
