First National Bank understands the challenges that come with education costs. A common predicament facing many individuals is the decision on how to finance tertiary costs. Research has shown that in South Africa the rate at which education costs are rising far outstrips the rate at which salaries are rising. This leaves many individuals with the singular choice of getting a loan to be able to afford their education fees.
