What is a Long Term/Personal loan?

​

A Long term/Personal loan is generally associated with an unsecured loan. It is a great way to get cash when needed for an emergency, home improvements or leisure activities like weddings and holidays.

Personal loans can range between R1,000 and R350,000 and a minimum repayment can vary from 7 to 12 months, and a maximum repayment period of 72 months. Repayments are typically calculated at a negotiated % interest per annum. Once you have applied and received a loan, you will need to pay back the personal loan in monthly instalments over your chosen period.

Before you select a personal loan, you should make sure you have a good understanding of how much money you need and over what period. This will influence the interest rates charged and the terms in which the lender lends you the money.

​
