Minister for Finance

The SBCI does not charge penalties and its facility agreements do not provide for these. If an on-lender wished to repay all or part of a facility, it is SBCI’s practice to agree a payment date with such on-lender as well as agreeing the amount of interest, principal and break-cost funding payable on the prepayment date agreed.
