With flexible repayment terms and competitive interest rates, personal loans offer a convenient way to manage your finances wisely.

Here’s what you can expect from a personal loan through JustMoney: 

  • Capfin loans: 5% to 27.75% interest rate, depending on your credit score and affordability; six to 12 months’ repayment term.
  • Sanlam loans: 16% to 28% interest rate, depending on your credit score and affordability; up to 84 months’ repayment term. 

How to apply for a personal loan

  1. Sign up: Register on the JustMoney platform to apply. 
  2. Apply online: Complete an easy application form in minutes.
  3. Get your application result: Our trusted partners will review your information and let you know if you’re approved – usually within a few days.
  4. Receive your funds: Once approved, the money will be transferred into your bank account.

Quick guide to personal loans

Personal loans are among the most accessible forms of credit available to South Africans. Here are some costs a loan can help you with, so you can better meet your financial goals:


Education expenses

Tertiary education is a form of good debt – a personal loan can help you study towards fulfilling your career aspirations and improving your earning capacity.

Debt consolidation

A debt consolidation loan can help ease stress and avoid missed payments by combining multiple debts into one monthly repayment and providing a clearer picture of what you owe.

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.

Funeral costs

Funerals can come with unexpected costs, and in some cases, funeral policies may not cover everything. A personal loan can help bridge the gap, allowing you to give your loved one a dignified farewell.

Emergency costs

A personal loan can provide quick access to cash for urgent costs, such as car or appliance repairs.
