Accessible and simple personal loans

One of the main aims of Capfin’s personal loans is to provide you with affordable options that are easily accessible. Capfin makes this possible by making your loan account accessible at any time.

A company that grants you personal loans without checking if you are able to afford the repayments, would be careless. That is why Capfin first assesses your affordability, where they check whether or not you will be able to afford the personal loan you are wanting to apply for.

Banking with a company that has your back, is always an upside. Feeling secure and confident in your finances has never felt this good.

The interest rate on personal loans

The interest rate that is charged is regulated by the NCA:

  • 3 and 6 months loans, under R8000 are charged at 5% per month for the first loan and 3% per month on subsequent personal loans
  • Personal loans taken over 12 months are charged on the repayment rate of +21%, which works out to 24,5%

That polka-dot wallpaper was just out of my budget for my new coffee shop. If it wasn’t for having a company like Capfin to turn to, I would have had to go without that gorgeous wallpaper.
