Is a personal loan different from a payday loan?

Yes. The primary difference is that paydayloansrequire full repayment by your next payday, while a personal loan gives you more breathing room.

With a FASTA personal loan, you can spread the cost over up to 6 manageable monthly instalments. This gives you certainty and a predictable timeline, meaning you can finally have peace of mind regarding your financial wellness.

How do interest rates for personal loans work?

Interest is the percentage charged on top of your borrowed amount. Your specific rate is personalised based on your credit profile and the amount you decide to borrow. This means, the healthier your history, the lower your rate will be.

With a FASTA loan, you get the benefit of interest rates that are locked in from day one, keeping your monthly repayments completely predictable and easy to budget for.

Personal loans that put your financial well-being first.

With FASTA, you get flexible repayment terms up to 6 months and clear, predictable monthly installments. We carefully assess your affordability upfront, ensuring your repayments always fit comfortably within your budget.

Representative example:
Borrow R15 000 over 6 months at an annual interest rate linked to prime (28.75%).
Initiation fee: R1 207.50. Monthly service fee: R69. Credit protection insurance: R68.48 per month.
Maximum APR: 123%. Total amount repayable: R18 418.25.
