FNB - Affordable personal loans

Sometimes life happens and your finances just don't work out the way you planned.

You’ll never have to be stuck again as FNB can help you with a personal loan for whatever reason you may need it.

Whether it is some home renovations, a new vehicle, or even paying for your child's education, FNB can help lighten the load. They offer many financial solutions and will always be able to assist with the right financial advice.

Where FNB began

Not many South Africans are aware that FNB is the oldest bank in the country. Its roots lie in Grahamstown in the Eastern Province Bank that was formed in 1838.

It started from humble beginnings to the success story that it is today, trading as a division of First Rand Bank Limited.

FNB has managed to survive all the financial obstacles that South Africa has faced over the years. You can rest assured that they know the banking industry inside out.

They care about the environment

Many big institutions have an interest in the sustainability of the environment around them. At FNB that's no different. They're actively making a change on a daily basis to help the environment.

They provide training on awareness about water and energy and are continuously searching for ways to minimise and manage the use of paper. FNB even donates a part of its funds to financially aid environmental causes.

Knowing that a bank cares about the environment and that they're making a change should assure you that they have your best interest at heart too.

Loans between R1 000 and R300 000

When people ask what makes FNB great, there are not enough hours in a day to give a comprehensive answer.

Outstanding customer service is a top priority at FNB.

They strive to bring you up-to-date, innovative, and useful financial solutions and there's no doubt that being in the industry for so many years has made them experts.

FNB knows that with a little help in the right direction, people can accomplish great things. Being able to tie its name to the countless success stories they've created is why they're a cut above the rest.

A personal loan from a bank you can trust

Many different financial institutions offer you a personal loan, but are they truly what they claim to be? In the age we live in, borrowing from a trustworthy lender is important.

With FNB you know that what they say is what you get. They're a well-established name in South Africa and people know that they're trustworthy. To be able to borrow from an institution that has been around for so many years gives you the comfort of knowing you're in good hands.
