PENSION-BACKED HOUSING LOAN
You have access to a pension-backed home loan scheme. From 1 September 2024, you may use up to 65% of your member share value as surety for a home loan at preferential rates from FNB.
The loan granted can only be used to buy a house or pay for alterations to a house you already own. Approval of the loan rests with FNB and is subject to the requirements of the National Credit Act. If you qualify, the loan amount is paid directly into your bank account and then the monthly loan instalments will be deducted from your salary until the loan is fully paid.
On application, FNB will require written confirmation from the member as to whether he/she is aware of any divorce order issued by the Court against his/her pension benefit in favour of a former spouse, or if a pending divorce is in progress. If either is applicable, consent from the non-member spouse would be required for the loan application to continue.
If you withdraw from the Fund, any outstanding balance will be settled by deducting the amount you still owe on the housing loan.
