Who can Apply?
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.
