Who qualifies for bridging finance
Bridging finance is a personal loan you get while you’re waiting for a lump sum payout from another source.
Since some payouts may take a few months, a bridging loan will help you to meet your financial obligations in the interim. Various instances could lead to a situation where you may need bridging finance.
Provident or pension fund bridging loans
- Resignations
- Retrenchment
- Dismissal from work
- Severance package
The reason you’re waiting for a payout is unique to you. Maybe you resigned to follow your dream of opening your own business, or you got dismissed.
In any situation, where a lump sum is due to you from your retirement fund or provident fund, we can assist you with pension, property or RAF bridging finance to cover the gap.
