SOUTH AFRICA
Takealot, an online retailer, has announced the launch of Takealot Home Loan Hub, a digital home loan marketplace designed to help South Africans when buying homes.
Buyers can compare competitive offers from multiple lenders including Nedbank, Standard Bank, ABSA, Investec, FNB, RMB, SA Home Loans and Housing Investment Partners.
They can get qualified instantly with zero effect on their credit score, according to Takealot, completely risk-free. Up to R20,000 in Takealot vouchers are available as part of a reward system for successful bond registrations based on loan value. Applications can be completed online in minutes with no paperwork and no appointments required.
“At Takealot Group, we believe in creating meaningful solutions that delight our customers and simplify their lives,” said Gideon Granville, group executive for strategy and ventures at Takealot.
Takealot said the launch of the Takealot Home Loan Hub coincided with South Africa’s recent residnetial property market recovery, following the Reserve Bank’s interest rate cut to 7.0% in August 2025.
In partnership with MortgageMarket, South Africa’s first independent online home loan marketplace, the platform combines fintech expertise with Takealot’s customer-centric approach.
“Just like you trust us to deliver everything to fill your home, now we can deliver your ideal home loan too,” said Granville. “We’re making homeownership easy and rewarding while enhancing financial inclusion through the same core values that made Takealot South Africa’s e-commerce leader,” he said.
Launched in 2011, Takealot is a large online retailer, offering millions of products across more than 30 departments. The group serves more than 4-million customers. Takealot said it supported more than 12,000 small businesses through its Takealot Marketplace platform.
