Understanding Personal Loans

Personal loans are a great option for covering unexpected expenses, starting a side hustle, or even buying your child’s school uniform and school supplies. Before applying for a personal loan, it’s important to understand the basics, such as interest rates, repayment terms, and eligibility requirements.

●       Interest rates and fees: A personal loan typically comes with a fixed interest rate, meaning your monthly repayment will always stay the same. Your loan rate will depend on things like your credit history, affordability and income. Capfin loan rates are 5% per month on your first loan (6 month loan) and 3% per month on subsequent loans per calendar year.

●       Repayment terms: Like most personal loans, Capfin loans come with repayment terms ranging 6, 12 and 24 months, based on your individual affordability. Shorter terms usually mean higher monthly payments but lower total interest, while longer terms reduce your instalments but can cost more overall with interest. It’s something to keep in mind when reviewing your offer, our goal is to match you with a loan that fits your budget

●       Eligibility requirements: To be eligible for a personal loan, you’ll need to meet a few basic requirements. These include being permanently employed, your latest 3 months payslips or bank statements and having a valid South African ID.

Choosing The Right Personal Loan Option 

Not all personal loans are the same and choosing the right one depends on what your financial and long-term goals are. Here are a few important things to consider when choosing your personal loan:

What will you use the loan for?

Before applying, ask yourself why you are applying for the loan. This can help you stay on track with your spending when you receive the money, ensuring you meet your goals.

How much will you be able to pay every month?

Before you apply, it’s a good idea to work out what you can comfortably afford to repay each month. Capfin’s online loan calculator can help you explore different loan amounts and terms, so you can see what works best for your budget. For example, while a shorter loan term could save you money on interest, it also may mean higher monthly repayments.

How will the loan affect your financial wellness?

A personal loan should complement your current financial situation. Before choosing a loan, ask yourself:

●       Can you comfortably afford the monthly repayments?

●       Do you have a stable source of income to cover repayments?

●       Will this loan contribute to long-term credit or improve your financial situation?

Is the lender trustworthy?

When borrowing money, it’s important to choose a lender that’s upfront about costs and committed to responsible lending, like Capfin.
