What to know at a glance
Available to other-bank customers. The published borrowing range starts at R 1 000. Approval and your final terms depend on the lender’s assessment.
Fees and the full cost
The Term Loan includes credit life. The January 2026 mandatory policy is used below; the separate voluntary policy is not treated as this loan’s tariff.
- Initiation fee
- R1,207.50 including VAT in the R30,000 / 36-month example. It can be paid separately or added to the loan; the example is not a universal fee formula.
- Monthly service fee
- R69 per month on the product page and in its representative example. Confirm the VAT breakdown in your quote.
- Credit life / protection
- Mandatory Loan Protection Plan, with suitable replacement cover allowed. Monthly premiums change with the average outstanding loan amount; the policy schedule sets the price. The January 2026 policy covers death, disability, loss of employment and specified critical illness, with exclusions and waiting periods. The general page’s R4 voluntary-plan administration fee is not added to this loan.
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 published rate ceiling is prime + 17.5 percentage points; no starting rate is confirmed. The 24.75% representative example is not a minimum. The voluntary protection plan’s separate administration charge is not applied to this loan.
