Start with the amount you need

Compare loans by amount.

Choose an amount in South African rand. Each page brings together products with published minimum and maximum amounts covering that figure, plus the questions to ask before requesting a quote.

A catalogue match is not approval or a personalised price. Products with unconfirmed amount bounds are excluded from these pages.

R 1 000 loans

15 product options · 14 lenders

For a small amount, the repayment date and fixed charges deserve as much attention as the interest rate. Start with R1,000, then check whether the full balance is due on payday or spread across instalments.

R 2 000 loans

19 product options · 16 lenders

R2,000 falls within several short-term ranges and at the published starting point of some personal loans. Compare the length and full cost of the agreement before choosing between them.

R 3 000 loans

19 product options · 16 lenders

A R3,000 comparison needs a clear repayment plan. Decide whether you need to repay on one date or over several months, then compare products using the lender’s own term unit.

R 5 000 loans

21 product options · 18 lenders

R5,000 sits at the top of some first-time borrowing ranges and at the bottom of some longer personal loans. The same cash amount can therefore lead to very different commitments.

R 10 000 loans

12 product options · 11 lenders

At R10,000, several smaller-loan products drop out because their published maximum is below the amount. Compare the remaining account-based and instalment products on their own terms.

R 20 000 loans

11 product options · 10 lenders

R20,000 is a useful point to compare shorter instalment products with longer personal loans. Look beyond the monthly payment and check what extending the term does to the total cost.

R 50 000 loans

9 product options · 8 lenders

For R50,000, term length can make a large difference to the monthly commitment and the number of recurring charges. Compare written quotes for the same amount and period before choosing.

R 100 000 loans

7 product options · 7 lenders

A R100,000 loan can create a commitment lasting several years. Use the amount filter as a starting point, then compare the full repayment and check the lender’s exact term choices and costs.

Keep the amount separate from the cost

The amount borrowed is the starting point. Your term, interest, fees and insurance determine what you repay. The same amount can appear in products with very different repayment schedules and customer requirements.
