Clientele Services

In their diverse portfolio, they offer convenient short-term loan options with loans ranging from R1,000 to R120,000.

These loans can be repaid over periods of 12 to 60 months with a fixed interest rate, so there will be no surprise interest hikes during the loan repayment period.

Short-term loans: a solution for emergencies

Short-term loans are a popular and useful solution for unexpected emergencies. However, it is important to remember that these loans should only be used in cases of emergencies when the budget is insufficient to cover the problem at hand. Regularly relying on these loans can create dire financial difficulties due to their expensive repayment terms.

Since short-term loans are by nature short in duration, the access to funds is limited, and large amounts cannot be borrowed. The repayment period is also relatively short.

To qualify for a loan, you must prove your financial ability to repay it based on your monthly income. Although repayment terms can be extended, an extension will be subject to interest, fees, and charges, resulting in a higher overall repayment amount.

Short-term loans are not a sound long-term solution. Defaulting on a loan has a high probability and can negatively affect your credit rating, resulting in debt collectors and lawsuits.

Bank loans: quicker and cheaper

If you have a bad credit score, getting a loan from a bank can be very restrictive. However, approaching your bank for short-term loan options may be quicker and cheaper. Traditional short-term loans tend to be easier to finance as they can be paid off over a period of time, reducing overall financial stress. Payday loans or instant loans tend to be harder to repay.

Making timely loan repayments

Always make your loan repayments punctually and consistently to ensure the loan is repaid within the agreed time frame, avoiding additional costs from interest and fees.

It’s also important to remember that the bank has access to your account and can withdraw the installment directly from it. Additionally, interest and fees are added to the loan amount, which means they become due at the same time.

How it Works: Applying for a Loan with Clientele

Clientele offers an easy and convenient way to apply for a loan either by calling them or by using their innovative please call me function.

They operate daily from 8-to-8, ensuring that you can apply at a time that is most convenient for you. Once your application is approved, the loan amount is paid directly into your bank account within 48 hours. Additionally, they offer a same-day approval option for loans up to R80,000.

Interest rates and repayment terms

Clientele's interest rates are generally affordable, starting at 19.5%. The repayment terms for these loans are typically over 24 months, providing you with enough time to repay the loan without undue financial stress.

You can use their online loan calculator to help you determine what your loan repayments will be. This will help you to manage your repayments and decide the affordability factor for the loan you are looking to apply for.

Collateral or surety for loan amount

You may also need to provide collateral or surety for a loan amount. This means you will need to make available an asset as security, especially if you do not have a great credit record. This asset will be sold to redeem the loan should you fail to repay the loan.

Benefits of short-term loans

There are some benefits to taking a short-term loan. Mainly, these are quick and easy to get online, the money is often paid into your account within 24 hours, and there is typically no need for mountains of paperwork just to apply.

These loan types are also a stopgap to be used in the case of unbudgeted emergencies such as a burst geyser for your home or an unanticipated vehicle repair or similar. They can be used for short-term, often unplanned debts that can be resolved within 6-12 months.

The downside of loans

Make no mistake, short-term loans are risky, expensive, and often difficult to service, so use them sparingly and wisely. Accessing a short-term loan from a bank often involves going to the bank rather than applying online.

There is inevitably a tonne of paperwork to complete to ensure you can make the repayments and can guarantee the bank that the likelihood of you defaulting is as low risk for the bank as possible.

This is a time-consuming process, and therefore the likelihood of getting this money within 24 hours is almost zero. This means that unplanned emergencies may have to wait until the bank approves the loan.

Clientele's online calculator

Clientele also has an online calculator that allows you to calculate your repayments over the loan time period. You get to choose how to service this debt quickly and easily to determine affordability options for you.
