It is no big secret that South Africans are struggling in the current economic state of the country.

With access to multiple credit cards and store cards, it can be quite easy to rack up a hefty amount of debt. Keeping up with payments and ensuring that you have budgeted correctly can become a nightmare.

This is why Absa is here to help you get your debt under control with the assistance of a debt consolidation loan.

A debt consolidation loan will allow you to repay all of your current debts and only repay a single loan amount monthly. Not only do you stand the chance of saving money on interest but you can also return your finances to a stable state.

In order to apply for a loan with them:

  • You must be a South African citizen.
  • Over 18.
  • Currently be employed on a full-time basis and earning R2,000 or more per month.

When they look to determine affordability, they will use your payslips and bank statements and consider your credit history.
