How to get a personal loan online

It wasn’t so long ago that you had to visit your nearest bank - tons of paperwork in tow - to apply for a personal loan.

The process was a daunting and time-consuming exercise, which meant that needing money for those unexpected and expected expenses was often met with headaches and frustrations. These days, applying for a personal loan is as easy as signing into your Standard Bank app or Internet Banking profile where you can apply for a loan even if you don't currently bank with us.
