Please NSFAF IT groups or who ever dealing with IT Please I’m begging you to set up your system to save information. This is really killing us by keeping repeating the same process over and over. What I mean is when we’re applying for loans your system is keeping failing sometimes you’re at the final stage and the system fails meaning now you have to restart over again. Is just too much and annoying us like seriously.
