Difficulty keeping up with your repayments?

The following options are available whilst your account is in arrears.
Payment arrangement
Every account must be analysed individually according to the individual situation e.g. the severity of the arrears on the account will determine the action to be taken. A 'promise to pay' is an arrangement for payment of the repayment in a lump sum. In the absence of full payment then a lump sum with monthly repayments to clear the arrears over a period of time will be determined between the FNB consultant and the customer. A promise to pay will be for a specific date each month and a debit order is a requirement as the repayment will adjust as the rate fluctuates.
Customers are encouraged to make arrangements to repay the arrears amount - from a single lump-sum payment to payment over a period not exceeding 12 months. The arrangement will include the normal monthly repayment plus a percentage of the arrears.
Call 087 730 11 00 or send an email to collarr@fnb.co.za to make your payment arrangement. *Terms, conditions and rules apply
Quick Sell
Where customers have no income or vastly decreased income and it is clear that they will be unable to rehabilitate, Quick Sell has been designed to assist and support customers in a dignified way to sell their properties through reputable estate agents in the open market.
  • Increased control over the price achieved
  • Reduced estate agent commissions
  • Concessions of up to 25% on the shortfall (difference between selling price and outstanding debt)
This option is far more beneficial to the customer than the alternative which is sale in execution, a legal process where a customers property is attached and sold by the Sheriff of the Court to the highest bidder. In the case of a sale in execution, the property will fetch a far lower price than in a Quick Sell transaction, there will be no concessions and the customer's dignity is rarely left intact.
On Quick Sell private sale properties you get 50% discount on transfer-of-bond attorney fees & 50% off bond registration fees. No transfer duties payable on Quick Sell repossessed properties. *Terms, conditions and rules apply

Debt counselling
In certain instances where it is obvious that the expenses far exceed income due to over-indebtedness, the customer may be referred for debt counselling. The benefit to the customer in debt counselling is that the payment proposal will be structured to allow for the upfront settlement of unsecured debt. The home loan payment may be reduced to a minimum of 80% of repayment for this period, followed by increased payment to the home loan so that it repays within the contract period. The debt review process restricts a customers spending habits and builds self discipline.
Any party/ies to a credit agreement that are natural persons can apply for debt counselling. Where a credit provider has already taken steps to enforce their rights under a credit agreement (the sending of a letter in terms of Section 129 of the National Credit Act 34 of 2005); that particular credit agreement will be excluded from debt counselling and arrangements outside of debt counselling need to be confirmed.
To find out more about debt counselling please call 087 730 11 00 or email collarr@fnb.co.za
Quick Fix
Where a customer is unable to meet even the normal monthly repayment or requires an arrangement over a minimum period of 3 months, he/she can be referred to Quick Fix (the special arrangements area) where he/she will be requested to provide:
  • Proof of income for all bond holders (current payslip for an employed customer or management accounts for a self employed customer)
  • Bank statements for the past 3 month's
  • A current municipal account reflecting any arrears
  • A letter from the municipality or body corporate if there is an arrangement in place
  • A detailed income and expenditure statement
  • An application for arrangement
A new valuation of the property will be requested in need to assess the condition and market value of the property and the team will consider the most appropriate arrangement for that particular customer. Credit checks will also be performed to check the accuracy of his disclosure.
  • A reduced payment
  • A payment holiday for a period of maximum 3 months
  • Consolidation of debt - provided there is affordability for the customer to repay the higher bond amount and sufficient equity in the property to repay all FNB debts
To find out more about the Quick Fix option please call 087 730 11 00 or email collarr@fnb.co.za. *Terms, conditions and rules apply

Fixed interest rate
FNB understands the importance of saving and budgeting, so you have the option to get a fixed interest rate. In this way, you can be assured that your repayments won't go up or down irrespective of interest charges.
This option allows you to fix an interest rate available at a specific point in time. When interest rates are on an upward trend, this option offers stability, as the rates will be fixed for a particular period. A fixed interest rate is an agreement between FNB and the bondholder/s for the outstanding balance at a specific point in time, at an agreed interest rate, for an agreed term. Fixed rates are valid for 24 hours upon quote and if you choose to accept the quoted rate you will need to sign and return the Fixed Rate Variation Agreement before close of business the following day.
How long can I fix my rate for?
12, 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months.
Benefits of a fixed rate
Having the peace of mind knowing exactly what your monthly bond repayment will be over a set period. Allow more stability to budget more effectively, irrespective of future interest rate hikes and protect your return on investment from interest rate increases.
