Pension bridging finance with a difference

Marlin Credit offers pension bridging finance that takes your unique situation, means and needs into account. Whether you’ve resigned, been retrenched, dismissed, or are awaiting a severance package, they’ll be able to help.

Property bridging loans

In addition to loans for pensioners, they also offer property bridging loans for those who are awaiting the proceeds from the sale of a property.

Marlin Credit Services

If you’re expecting a lump sum payout of R20,000 or more, you’ll be able to access an affordable pension bridging loan.

The minimum loan amount that one can obtain is R2,000 but the amount varies based on how much you’re waiting for as well as affordability.

Do you qualify for a pension bridging loan?

If you have been retrenched, dismissed or are awaiting your severance package, you qualify for a provident or pension fund loan.

These personal loans are ideal for dealing with unexpected situations as well as to help you get by while waiting for a lump-sum payout.

Additional loan types available at Marlin Credit

In addition to pension and provident fund bridging loans, Marlin Credit also serves customers with property bridging loans as well as payouts resulting from divorce, death, disability claims, retirement annuities, investments, and policy payouts.

Using your loan to manage your finances

Whether you need to stay afloat while awaiting your payout, settle debts or get your plans on the road, Marlin Credit’s pension bridging loans can help.
