With the Standard Bank Personal Loan, you request a lump sum and repay it in scheduled instalments after a full affordability assessment.
The published range is R1,000 to R300,000, with a repayment period of 12 to 84 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.
