How does the SecuraRate Work?
SecuraRate is basically a fixed rate option which you can use to protect you from rising interest rates.
Standard bank used to have a capped rate option as well where they would cap your rate at a maximum interest rate to protect you against interest rate increases.
This was almost the same as the fixed rate option, but with the added advantage that you could also benefit if interest rates went down. Unfortunately this option is not available anymore, despite what you may read on some outdated websites and blogs.
What is a home loan Pledge?
A Std bank home loan pledge is an indication of the amount that Standard bank may lend you to buy a home. The emphasize is on the word “may” which means they may decide not to give you the loan even if you do have a home loan pledge.
If you read through Standard bank’s terms and conditions you will note that they put a lot of emphasis on the fact that a pledge does not constitute a fixed offer from them.
In other words, they may still decide not to give you a home loan.
Is a home loan pledge a pre-approval?
No, Standard bank makes it quite clear that a pledge is not a pre-approval. In other words, they are not committing themselves to your transaction. Std bank is simply saying that you may qualify for loan but they’re not committing themselves to that loan in any way whatsoever.
What’s the purpose of a home loan pledge?
Well, the idea behind a pledge is for you to call the bank and that they can give you a piece of paper to try and commit you to applying for Std bank home loan through them. That’s it. A pledge is basically similar to quote over the phone…it’s means very little and is not worth the ink it’s printed on
