The credit card line is another service from Nedbank, which provides comprehensive financial options for the South African public.

In this context, the partnership with South African Airways brings a credit card with exclusive network benefits and a widely expandable and adaptable credit limit for customers.

In terms of costs, you need to pay an annual fee of R2,040 with a monthly credit line fee of R32. Other fees include preferential interest rates for debit and a card replacement fee of R150.

The card offers modern conveniences and features, such as contactless payments, full integration with payment apps, management through the Money app or internet banking, and options for virtual cards and QR Code payments. 

You have the option to receive either a Mastercard or American Express card, depending on your presented situation.

The card’s rewards system is based on Voyager miles, and you can earn them as follows:

  • Up to 19,000 bonus miles on your first SAA ticket purchase
  • Up to 15,000 bonus miles upon reaching R300,000 in spending
  • Double miles on all your spending in the first month with the card

With the card, you can convert your miles into AvoPoints and earn an additional Global Companion ticket upon spending $1,000,000 in a year.

Nedbank is very clear about the qualification criteria for its credit cards. 

To qualify, you need to be over 18 years old and reside in South Africa with a valid ID or a passport with a work visa. 

The main criteria for receiving the card are credit and income. Firstly, you need to have a good credit history. The website even provides a tool to check your credit score. 

Additionally, you need to have a verifiable monthly income starting from R25,000. Meeting these criteria does not guarantee the card, as all applications are subject to bank review.

You have different channels to apply for the credit card. First, to apply, you need to create a Nedbank ID either on the Money app or on the bank’s website. 

To sign up online, you need to provide general information such as your full name, phone number, South African ID number, email address, and physical address. 

During the Nedbank ID creation process, you will also need to provide more information about income and gross monthly expenses, which are important for determining your credit conditions. 

Once you have the Nedbank ID, you can apply for the credit card directly on the bank’s online platforms. 

You can also apply for the card at a branch located across the country or by calling 0860 555 111. 

Nedbank conducts a thorough credit history check of the customer, and during the process, you may need to submit documents such as proof of income, payslips, proof of residence, and a copy of the South African ID.
