The Mobicred is a digital revolving credit account designed for shoppers who want a structured payment option at selected retailers.
Its strongest feature is card-free checkout using a digital account and one monthly repayment. Approval, the available amount and the real cost still depend on a personal affordability assessment.
Before applying, check where the account works, how repayments are collected and what happens if you carry a balance for several months.
Mobicred: main benefits
- Focused use. The account is available at more than 100,000 online and selected in-store merchants.
- Personal credit decision. The published limit is up to r50,000, subject to assessment.
- Repayment choice. A debit order collects at least 5% of the outstanding balance each month.
- Clear quotation. The final agreement must show the interest rate, fees and required payment before acceptance.
Who can apply?
The published income position is verified during automated affordability checks. Applicants must also pass identity, credit and affordability checks.
You may need online identity, income and affordability verification plus acceptance of the credit agreement. Meeting the basic requirements does not guarantee approval.

When another option may be better
This account may be a poor fit if the instalment would compete with rent, food, transport or existing debt. Cash or planned saving can cost less when the purchase is not urgent.
Costs to check
21% annual interest plus a monthly administration fee when a balance is active. Never rely only on an advertised monthly instalment.
Mobicred is digital credit, not a conventional bank card. Its interest rate can change with the South African repo rate.
