Pension & provident bridging

Your fund payout is on its way. Bridge the wait.

When you leave a job, your pension or provident fund payout can take time to process. Take a loan against it now and bridge the gap while you wait. You repay it once, when the fund pays out.

How it works for a pension & provident fund payout

Bridging finance lets you take a loan against a lump sum that is already due to you. Loans start from R2 000 and are based on about 10% of your expected payout, which needs to be at least R30 000. Every application is subject to an affordability assessment, as the National Credit Act requires.

You repay once, when your payout lands, and early settlement is accepted. There are no monthly instalments. You'll see the full cost of credit in your agreement before you sign. Work out an estimate with our cost calculator.
