Retirement annuity bridging
A retirement lump sum is coming. Cover the gap until it lands.
If a lump sum from a retirement annuity is due to you, a bridging loan can help you settle costs or keep life steady while it's processed.
How it works for a retirement annuity 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.
