FNB offers everything from everyday bank accounts to personal loans and credit cards.

Home loans with lower monthly instalments

As a flexible South African Bank, they have made a variety of options available for you to choose from.

Options include: 

  • Purchasing a new home
  • Building your own home
  • Home loan combined with a personal cheque account
  • Shari’ah property finance
  • A foreign choice home loan
  • Converting to one account
  • Switching of home loan
  • Moving homes and not home loans

Individual home loans

To apply as an individual for a home loan you will need to earn a monthly income of at least R35 000 to R125 000 before deductions. You will then be given the option to combine your home loan and your cheque account.

How to combine a home loan to your cheque account

By using this option FNB will combine your home loan with your cheque account. Instead of having a cheque account with a home loan separately, they will combine both into one easy-to-manage account. This will be the account that your salary is paid into monthly. By having one account, you will be able to save on the monthly interest and fees.

As an FNB client, you can earn ebucks from the very first transaction. The more the money is in your account, the lower your interest rate will be, therefore with the given 20 years to repay your loan, you will be lowering your monthly instalments.
