Bond Info

In South Africa, most home loans are variable rate and linked to the prime lending rate (currently 11.75%). When the SARB changes the repo rate, your bond repayment changes too.

Most SA banks allow extra payments without penalty. Even R500 extra per month can save you hundreds of thousands in interest over the life of the bond.

An access bond lets you withdraw extra payments if you need the money later, while still reducing your interest in the meantime.
