Frequently asked questions
What does loan consolidation mean?
Loan consolidation allows you to combine and switch up to 3 personal loans into one new loan. Through a streamlined process, your old loans are settled using the new loan, helping to simplify your repayment schedule. Instead of juggling multiple monthly payments, you’ll only have a single payment to focus on.

Additionally, if you need extra funds for a new opportunity or emergency while managing your existing loans, loan consolidation can give you the extra cash you need without adding an extra debit order and associated fees.
Is a loan consolidation worth it?
Yes, if you’re juggling multiple loans and qualify for consolidation, you can potentially lower your overall monthly fees and simplify your payments.
What is the difference between loan consolidation and debt relief?

Loan consolidation is ideal if you’re generally managing your monthly budget well, but you want to simplify your repayment schedule and potentially reduce monthly fees.

Debt relief is suited for situations where you’re struggling to repay existing loans, and involves restructuring debt to make payments more manageable. A specialist may recommend various solutions, such as extending loan terms, re-spreading arrears, offering payment holidays, or incorporating more complex debt consolidation when appropriate.

As an example, the estimated repayments of a Loan Consolidation of R30 000 over 36 months at an interest rate of 24.75% would be R1 423 per month. This includes the monthly service fee of R69 and the once-off initiation fee of R1 207.50 (VAT inclusive). Our interest rates are personalised up to a maximum of prime plus 17.5% as per the NCA regulation. T&Cs apply. This example is representative and for illustrative purposes only. It does not constitute a contract. Repayment rates are personalised and may vary.
