What to know at a glance

1–6 month repayments. The published borrowing range starts at R 1 500. Approval and your final terms depend on the lender’s assessment.

Fees and the full cost

Express Loan has its own costs and insurance requirements. Personal Loan tariffs are not automatically applied to it.

Initiation fee
An initiation fee applies, but the Express Loan page does not state the amount, formula or VAT treatment. Confirm it in your quote.
Monthly service fee
Service fees apply, but the Express Loan page does not publish a monthly amount or VAT breakdown.
Credit life / protection
Credit protection is required. You may replace it with your own suitable existing credit life policy that stays in force for the full loan agreement. The premium and calculation basis are not published on the reviewed page; request the policy schedule.

Compare your total repayment as well as the monthly instalment. Ask for a written quote showing the exact rate, initiation fee, service fees and insurance applicable to you.

A detail worth checking

Interest is stated per month: up to 5% on the first loan and 3% on subsequent loans in the same calendar year. The page inconsistently says exclusive to Absa clients but also gives a branch/call-centre route for new customers. Confirm the route and terms.
