Mr Kumar attributed the credit for his achievements including the Award by ASB Bank to his staff, their dedication and commitment, supported by state-of-the-art technology.
“GFSL keeps investing in new technologies to provide a better experience to its customers. This year also we have invested thousands of dollars in improving our CRM, email and telephone systems. We will be shortly investing in more advanced communication capabilities for better service delivery,” Mr Kumar said.
Early settlement
One of the most impressive aspects of GFSL is its ‘Special Formula’ that enables customers to liquidate their mortgage loans faster and be free of debts on this homes. Assessing the income, expenditure and propensity to save, Mr Kumar and his team have enabled hundreds of people to clear their mortgage loans within five, 10 or 15 years.
“The objective of every person who has a mortgage loan is to pay it off as soon as possible but many do not know how to achieve this objective. Our relationship does not end with the sanctioning of a loan. In fact, it begins there and we constantly evaluate our clients’ files and advise them to take appropriate action to be mortgage-free. Our ability to offer an extensive range of insurance services has been a major factor in our growth,” Mr Kumar said.
