medical_services

Medical bills

Even if you have savings or medical aid cover, high medical bills could catch you off guard. A personal loan can help cover unexpected costs.

Home renovations or repairs

Repairs or upgrades to your property can make it more valuable. A personal loan can help fund necessary home improvements.

FAQs about personal loans in South Africa

expand_more expand_less

Who can get a personal loan?

To apply for a personal loan with JustMoney, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Be a South African citizen or permanent resident
  • Have a regular source of income, including if you’re self-employed
  • Have a fair to good credit score, which can help you secure better terms and lower interest rates
expand_more expand_less

What are the typical interest rates on personal loans?

The interest rate you’re offered will depend on the lender, your credit score, your affordability, how long it will take you to repay the loan, and other factors.

A good credit score usually means you can get a lower interest rate. Registered credit providers have to adhere to interest rate limits set by the National Credit Regulator (NCR).

expand_more expand_less

How do I apply for a personal loan in South Africa?

Applying for a loan is simple. Here’s how it works. 

  • Fill in a loan application online or at the lender’s premises.
  • Submit the required documents, for example, your identity document and proof of income.
  • The lender will check your credit score and conduct an affordability assessment.
  • If approved, you’ll be provided with a loan agreement to check before signing. Read it carefully and make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before you sign. 
  • Once you sign, the money will be paid straight into your bank account. 
expand_more expand_less

Can I get a personal loan if I have a bad credit score?

It can be challenging to secure a personal loan if you have a poor credit score, but it’s not impossible. However, if you’re offered a loan, the interest rate may be higher than for someone with a good credit score, and the repayment terms stricter.

For your protection, make sure the lender is registered with the NCR. Avoid unscrupulous lenders who promise “easy” loans – the terms may make them hard to repay.

expand_more expand_less

What happens if I don’t pay back a loan?

Defaulting on a personal loan can have severe consequences:

  • Your credit score will drop
  • It will be harder and more expensive to obtain credit in the future
  • Lenders may take legal action against you to recover their money

If you’re having trouble repaying your loans, contact your creditors immediately. They may agree to change the terms of your payment plan to make repayments easier.
