If you’re paying too much towards your debt, struggling to manage them, or just want to simplify your finances, a consolidation loan may be able to help you.

What you need to know

Debt consolidation isn’t for everyone. In addition, if you’re choosing a longer loan term, you’ll end up paying more for your debts in the end. This is particularly true if you consolidate store accounts that generally have shorter terms.

Securing your Capitec debt consolidation loan

Capitec strives to make everything from opening an account to getting a credit quote as simple and quick as possible.

If you’re ready to apply to consolidate your debt, you can do so in one of three ways. You can visit a Capitec branch, get a quote online or send an SMS to 30605 with your ID number.

Using their online quote tool

Capitec’s online quotation tool is the best way for you to find out whether you qualify, how much you can get, and what your repayments and interest rate will look like.

This simple form takes only a few minutes to complete and only requires some basic person, employment, and financial information to work its magic.

As with any credit application for a new customer, you must be able to provide a range of supporting documents including payslips, bank statements, your ID, and proof of address. These documents are required by all lenders, so keep them on hand when looking for credit.

Your credit rating and loan approval

Capitec will use your personal information to run an ITC check and determine your eligibility for credit. When it comes to debt consolidation loans, fair to good credit is an absolute must. If your credit score has taken a hit as a result of overdue bills and unpaid accounts, you’ll likely be rejected.

That said, the best way to find out if you qualify is to get hold of a consultant and have them assist you in collecting and reviewing your financial information to decide if consolidation is the right option for your circumstances.

Documents needed for a debt consolidation loan:

  • South African ID document/Smart card
  • Bank statement reflecting your last three salaries
  • Your latest payslip
