Tips to avoid maxing your credit card
If we use a credit card responsibly, it can actually relieve stress by helping
us cover unexpected costs and budgeting for things we cannot pay for right now.
However, if we over rely on our credit card, or give in to impulse buys, we can
max out our credit card and end up accumulating debt. This is why it’s important
to keep your credit card balance below your credit limit. If you tend to use up
your credit limit, your minimum payments become too large and your credit score
is at risk.

When the news came in May that African Bank opened for banking, I switched
immediately. Zero monthly charges and I will save R100 per month. I am a
rational optimiser, not married to a bank. I am mostly a transactional user and
I don’t see a reason why EFT should cost money. Also, why monthly charges? Banks
should make money by taking our deposits and investing them, not by paying R2.20
for EFT. Big banks must learn.
Radostin Moskov
I'm very impressed with this new African Bank offering. Took me 5 mins to open a
bank account today. Left with my printed 'black' card! You can also add & link
family members to your account & they can transact with their own individual
cards. Check it out.
