To obtain a loan from Standard Bank, several factors are considered:
- Credit Score: This evaluates your ‘creditworthiness’ based on your past handling of debt and repayments. A good credit score indicates responsible financial behavior, potentially leading to better interest rates.
- Income: Your earnings determine the amount of credit you can responsibly manage. Standard Bank assesses whether you earn enough to repay the loan while covering other expenses.
- Requirements of the National Credit Act: Standard Bank adheres to the regulations of the National Credit Act, which limits interest rates to a maximum of 24.5%. A good credit score may qualify you for a lower interest rate within this range.
How obtaining a loan from Standard Bank works:
When you borrow money through a personal loan, you repay it in monthly instalments over a predetermined period, typically with added interest. The interest rate and repayment period vary depending on the loan amount and your preferred timeframe for repayment.
