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.

  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.

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.
