Capitec Loans

On the 1st of March 2001, South Africans were introduced to Capitec.

Founded by Riaan Stassen, Jannie Mouton, and Michiel le Roux, Capitec soon reached great heights and set a new standard in the banking industry. Capitec set up its headquarters in Stellenbosch, Cape Town and spread out over the rest of South Africa.

Get a personal loan that’s simple and flexible

With a personal loan from Capitec, you could enjoy access to funding for those long over-due renovations or even a much-needed family vacation.

Capitec personal loans offer financing of up to R250,000 and a repayment term of 84 months.

The instalments are fixed and carry interest rates starting from 13.75%. The control is in your hands so Capitec allows you to tailor the loan to your specific needs.

Get cover for the unforeseen

Capitec offers you credit life insurance that’ll give you peace of mind. In the event of anything unforeseen happening, your loan will be paid off.

This covers you in the event of death, temporary or permanent disability, or any event that’ll prevent you from earning an income.

Calculate your affordability

Capitec has an affordability calculator on its homepage that’ll allow you to get an estimate of the loan amount you could qualify for. This tool is easy to use and is available for free.

You’re required to complete a quick questionnaire with information like your ID number, your income, and expenses. You’re then provided with an estimate for the loan amount you qualify to apply for.

What is a personal loan?

A personal loan gives you access to a large sum of money that’s repayable with interest over an agreed-upon period. This loan can be used for debt consolidation, renovating your home, or even a holiday.
