Nedbank Personal Loan

You needn’t bank with Nedbank to apply. Have a valid South African ID or passport and your latest payslip or other proof of income ready.

Get your income evidence ready for an offer shaped around what you can repay

Your income, living costs and other debts shape the amount Nedbank can offer. Supply 3 months’ bank statements only if automatic retrieval fails.

Approval depends on Nedbank’s credit and affordability assessment. You must also give an authenticated collection mandate when required.

What goes into your repayment beyond the amount borrowed

Nedbank sets your interest rate using your payment history and risk profile. Each instalment covers capital, interest and fees, plus the premium if you take Nedbank insurance.

The initiation fee is R165 plus 10% of the limit above R1 000, capped at R1 207.50. It’s added to your loan. Admin is R69 monthly. Fees and costs include VAT.

FAQ

Will my Nedbank Personal Loan interest rate stay the same throughout?

Your offer specifies fixed or variable interest. Only variable rates follow changes in prime, plus or minus your offer’s adjustment.

Can I use my own insurance policy for a Nedbank Personal Loan?

Your policy must meet Credit Life Insurance Regulations’ minimum benefits. Send it with proof of active cover and paid premiums.

What income proof do I need if I have already retired?

If you’re retired and under 65, proof of your pension payment is enough to show income. It replaces a payslip.

Can I increase my repayments to finish my loan sooner?

Yes. Call 0860 103 117 to raise your monthly debit order and pay off sooner. Early settlement carries no penalty fee.
