Whether you need funds for business opportunities, emergencies, or personal growth, the ZIS Stokvel Loan is here to help you make the most of your savings.
Key Features of the ZIS Stokvel Loan
To qualify for the Stokvel Loan, a member must:
Be actively participating in the Traditional Initiation Savings Plan.
Have contributed to the savings plan for a minimum of 3 months.
Loans are available based on the amount saved in your plan, providing a responsible borrowing limit.
ZIS charges a competitive 20% interest on the Stokvel Loan. This interest rate is fixed and offers transparency and predictability in loan repayments.
The loan amount is directly tied to the savings you have accumulated. This means the more you save, the higher the loan amount you can access. This system ensures responsible lending while empowering you to take advantage of financial opportunities.
The loan must be repaid within 30 days of taking it out, with a 5-day grace period to accommodate any unforeseen delays. This short-term structure encourages disciplined borrowing and repayment.
If the loan is not repaid within the grace period, a R200 penalty fee will be charged. Additionally, if the loan remains unpaid beyond 3 months from the date it was taken, membership in the stokvel will be terminated, and any savings balance (minus the owed amount) will be paid out 6 months after termination.
The loan is designed to be used for income-generating activities. Members are encouraged to use the funds to invest in opportunities, start small businesses, or lend to others at a higher interest rate. This model helps you generate additional income while growing your financial standing within the stokvel.
