Your complete guide to vehicle finance

luxury car

Drive your dream car with finance that fits your lifestyle.

Whether you're buying a new or used vehicle, our vehicle loans are structured to be flexible and affordable. The vehicle serves as collateral, which allows us to offer competitive rates. We understand that everyone's driving needs are different—from family SUVs to business fleet vehicles. Our process is designed to get you behind the wheel as quickly as possible.

loan overview

Our vehicle loans cover both new and used cars, bakkies, and motorcycles. You can choose between installment sale (you own at the end) or balloon payment (lower monthly payments with a final lump sum). Terms range from 12 to 72 months. We work with all major dealerships and also offer private sales financing. The vehicle serves as security, which helps us offer better rates than unsecured loans.

We understand that a vehicle is often essential for work and family life. That's why we've streamlined our approval process—many clients receive a decision within 2–4 hours. Once approved, we can disburse funds directly to the dealer or seller, and you can take delivery immediately.

balloon payment explained

A balloon payment is a lump sum due at the end of your loan term. It reduces your monthly repayments significantly. For example, a 30% balloon on a R300,000 car means you finance R210,000 monthly, and pay R90,000 at the end. Ideal if you plan to trade in or expect a future cash inflow.

term options

Shorter terms (12–36 months) mean higher monthly payments but less interest. Longer terms (48–72 months) lower your monthly cost but increase total interest. We help you find the right balance based on your budget and how long you plan to keep the vehicle.
