What to know at a glance
Fixed-rate personal borrowing. The published borrowing range starts at R 2 000. Approval and your final terms depend on the lender’s assessment.
Fees and the full cost
Old Mutual publishes a fee formula and states when credit life premiums apply. The final premium still needs a quote.
- Initiation fee
- R165 plus 10% of the loan amount above R1,000, capped at R1,050 excluding VAT. The R5,000 / 3-month example shows R649.75.
- Monthly service fee
- R60 per month excluding VAT; the representative example shows R69 including VAT.
- Credit life / protection
- Charged monthly for loan terms of 12 months or longer, based on the loan amount at application. The reviewed page does not give the premium rate, covered events or replacement-policy conditions. Confirm these in the policy and quote; no zero-cost assumption is made for shorter terms.
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.
The page publishes a 28% annual maximum, not a minimum or an all-in APR. Available amounts and terms depend on assessment. Use a current written quote for the exact insurance and full repayment.
