The Social Security Standardization Office (ONP) and the National bank(BN) signed this Thursday, March 9, an inter-institutional collaboration framework agreement to develop joint actions aimed at improving the pension welfare of the insured and strengthening the National Pension System (SNP).
According to the ONP, this agreement will allow the subsequent signing of other specific agreements for the benefit of four million 642,734 members of the SNP, 525,311 pensioners who receive a pension through the bank and the 9,593 pensioners who use the Home Payment service and belong to the Decree Law No. 19990.
“We are agreeing to an agreement that favors an average of 600,000 pensioners and one million 400,000 contributors that the Banco de la Nación will be pleased to grant them credit products,” highlighted the head of the ONP, Guillermo Parra Casas.
Thus, pensioners will have a banking service aimed exclusively at older adults. They will have access to specialized products and services with the creation of BN Platinum Banking. This initiative fIt will facilitate the provision of financial services such as, for example, the delivery of credits at very attractive interest rates without the need for endorsement or guarantees and with amounts ranging from S/3,000 to S/40,000.
“This Alliance means being able to more efficiently support all ONP pensioners who have an account with Banco de la Nación. (They will) be granted financing according to the income they receive and (will) be allowed to use it for what they they need. It will be attended through all the agencies of the Banco de la Nación”, indicated Juan Carlos Galfre, President of the National Bank.
He also added that “the rate of these credits is quite low” and they have life insurance. “In the eventual death of any of the pensioner debtors, there is an insurance that covers it. The family does not have to bear any cost for that reason, any cost of the loan,” she stressed.
