Important:
Loan details (interest rates, amounts, eligibility) are indicative and subject to change by the lender.
Always verify current terms directly on the lender's official website before applying.
Interest rates are subject to the National Credit Act (NCA).
NSFAS is the recommended starting point for students from lower-income households — apply before considering commercial loans.
NSFAS tip:
If you qualify for NSFAS, apply there first. NSFAS covers full cost of study at public universities and TVET colleges and has income-contingent repayment — far more favourable than any commercial loan.
