Overview

Vehicle and asset finance is a unique solution that will help you solve all your vehicle and equipment financing requirements. It’s asset-based and will help you to purchase acceptable, identifiable, durable, moveable and insurable assets.

Our dedicated and professional team will assist you to make the right decision for business or personal financing.

We have numerous accredited vehicle and equipment suppliers with whom we have maintained good working relationships. By choosing to purchase your asset from any of these suppliers/dealers, you stand to enjoy many benefits that you would otherwise not receive when you deal with a non-accredited dealer.

We finance moveable assets that are clearly identifiable, movable, durable and insurable e.g.

• Vehicles - passenger and commercial

• Plant and machinery - manufacturing, processing plants, etc.

• Equipment - printing machines, factory plants, office equipment, professional equipment etc.

• Yellow metal-bulldozers, front and loaders, graders, etc.

• Aircraft - aeroplanes and helicopters

These are the vehicle and asset finance product available for you:

Vehicle loan

Leasing

Leasing is a contractual agreement that allows you (the lessee) to use an asset owned by a leasing company such as Stanbic Bank Uganda (the lessor) in exchange for specified periodic payments.

• Financial lease - All risks and benefits of ownership vests with you as the customer, while the bank retains title to the asset. This may or may not be transferred once all lease payments have made.

• Operating lease - the bank retains full title to the asset but allows you to use the asset in return for a series of payments. With this option, there is no intention of ownership. 

Insurance requirements

All risk is for the client as user who has an obligation to insure the assets. The assets must be comprehensively insured for the period of the contract. Stanbic Bank interest must be noted in the policy, Stanbic Bank is prepared to finance Insurance premiums on an annual basis.
