Brief history
The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has established a mutual fund to address the financial welfare of members.
Members of the union must register to become part of the mutual fund scheme. The welfare fund is, therefore, voluntary and members must contribute a minimum amount of money. But members can also contribute an extra amount.
Benefits of the NAGRAT mutual fund
The NAGRAT mutual fund provides one of the cheapest loans in the country. The fund gives loans to members at twelve percent (12%). Members can, therefore, take more loan amounts compared with loans from commercial banks in the country.
It is, however, unclear why NAGRAT loan deductions is higher than that of the GNAT loan deductions.
Members also receive shared interest from the profits the NAGRAT mutual fund makes. The more members contribute to the fund, the more profits they will receive.
Also, members who contribute more to the fund have the chance to access more loans than members who contribute less.

Other benefits for NAGRAT members

The 17.6% is the rate UBA actually charge members of NAGRAT. And the 3% is amount the Controller and Accountant General Department (CAGD) charges. In total, the member pays 20% interest on the loan agreement that NAGRAT has with UBA and ABSA for NAGRAT members.
b. NAGRAT also allows partial withdrawal from the mutual fund. This means that members of the fund can request a portion of their contributions whenever the want.
c. NAGRAT equally has an agreement with Methodist University for members who wants to go for further studies. NAGRAT members are given a huge discount of the fees that students are required to pay.
NAGRAT Loan chart over interest rates
It is advisable for NAGRAT members to compare the NAGRAT loan chart deductions for the same loan amount from different institutions instead of comparing interest rates.
This is because the interest rates may not correlate with repayment deductions. Some institutions exempt certain charges from the interest rate disclosure. Also, some institutions may exempt processing fees and loan insurance premium from their interest rate calculation.
However, all charges, fees and interest rates reflect in the loan repayments. NAGRAT members should therefore utilize the NAGRAT loan chart to compare loan deductions from the union’s fund and loan from other institutions
