With the RCS Personal Loan, you request a lump sum and repay it in scheduled instalments after a full affordability assessment.

The published range is R2,000 to R300,000, with a repayment period of 12 to 60 months. Approval and final pricing are never automatic.

Before you apply, compare the monthly instalment with the total cost and leave enough room in your budget for essential expenses.

When to consider another option

A loan may be a poor fit when the instalment would replace money needed for rent, food, transport or existing debt. Repeated borrowing for normal monthly costs is another warning sign.

The advertised rate is Fixed, advertised from 15% per year. Published fee information: R69 monthly service fee; initiation fee may reach about R1,207.

Frequently asked questions

Is approval guaranteed?

No. The lender checks income, expenses, existing commitments and credit history.

Can the final rate differ from the advertised rate?

Yes. Only the personal quotation confirms the rate and all charges.

Can I repay early?

Many unsecured loans allow extra payments, but confirm the settlement process in the agreement.
