Get cash in your pocket while you wait for your pension payout
If you have resigned, retired, settled a divorce, been dismissed or been retrenched you will be able to apply for a bridging loan.
There is no need to wait around for your payout simply borrow against the fund and bridge the gap in the waiting period. Our pension bridging loan allows you to borrow up to 10% of the total pay that you are waiting for.
Even if you have been blacklisted your bad credit loan application will still be considered. A provident fund loan allows you to borrow money against your provident fund. These loans are safer and cheaper than personal loans. These loans need to be repaid in 6 months or when you receive the money from your pension payout.
Advantages of pension bridging loans
The main advantage of a pension bridging loan is the speed at which they can be paid out, you can receive the cash paid into your account in as little as 24 hours. The application is very simple and can be processed very quickly. When you need money urgently then this would be the perfect solution. The only drawbacks on these types of instant loans are that they sometimes charge a high-interest rate and if the payout takes longer than expected then you may end up paying more than you bargained for.
What is the risk involved?
A pension bridging loan is not very risky as the loan is secured by the payout that you will receive from your pension fund once it pays out. These types of payouts are usually handled by an attorney as they can become quite complex. The attorney will settle the entire bridging loan once your pension fund pays out.
Your pension fund can take up to 6 months to pay out so if you need access to money in a hurry then apply for one of our pension bridging loans today. If your application is successful the money will be deposited into your account within 24 hours. A bridging loan is a temporary agreement that normally only lasts a few months and is settled in one lump sum as soon as your pension fund pays out.
Earn yourself some extra cash
When you have reaped the benefits of using our service and seen how easy it is to apply, you can earn yourself some extra cash. Simply refer a friend and if we reach a successful agreement then we will reward you by depositing R500 into your account as a thank you. The more successful referrals the more money you can make.
