    I have a young professionals account with Standard Bank and my private banker was able to negotiate really really good interest rates on both my vehicle asset finance and my home loan. It's definitely something I would recommend.

      Standard Bank gives a rate of prime minus 1% on their vehicle asset finance for the Young Professionals account. This is the best guaranteed rate of all the Young Professionals accounts, I think ABSA also has this same rate for vehicle finance but their credit card rate is a lot worse.

    Once again another well researched informative video! :) something I think people don't know about is a jumpstart loan from Standard Bank. I don't know if other banks offer this but its good to ask. Any first time home owner can apply for this. it covers a bond value up to R1.8 million and has an LTV (loan to value) of 105%. The additional 5% is for the registration fees and transfer duty so you don't have to pay those costs and don't have to put down a deposit on your home loan. This is something to just keep in the back of your head as these things come up. Hopefully this will help someone.

    Great advice. I finished a qualification but couldn't get employment straight after uni and then decided to go back to study a different field altogether, I made the mistake of renewing my student bank account and managed to negotiate a card expiration date which was years in the future. Straight after completing the 2nd qualification I got employed and didn't change my account to a professional account and got my salary paid into my student account. Big mistake. When the card finally expired I discovered I wasn't building a credit record at all (I'd always get rejected for basic things like data deals and laptop deals only had a cheap clothing account in hopes of building a credit score), 2 years into full time employment and I wasn't getting the perks of a non-student account. I thought I was saving on banking fees but turns out I couldn't take on adult responsibilities (Car etc.)

I will now consult with my current bank to switch to a Young professional bank account!😩 I was really not aware of this and have been continually using the Student Acc although I have found employment. And I am also trying to build my credit record for future plans. Thank you once again!

    I'd say, stick to a student account for as long as u get kicked out or are required to move. Especially when u are not looking to buy a house or a car etc n during that time work on building your credit score. I am using a student account and I got a credit card to build my credit score. Now because I am buying a home I have to move to a different bank account to gain extra bank interest rate discounts. Unless u really need those benefits rather stick to a student account because it has no maintenance fees.

    • @bongangcobo
      @bongangcobo 2 роки тому +2

      But if I may ask, the credit card you got was the interest rate below prime or was it above ? That's also a big difference I saw with the YP bank account interest rates from normal cards were like 13-17% compared to prime -0.25%/ prime -1%

      @@bongangcobo so with the credit card I have u have free interest up 2 55days. So I usually pay off my balance in less than 30days so I don't pay interest on that. N with the interest on the home I'm buying I got 1.15% less prime for it without having the YP account. I was using a student account when applying and they said they offering me that much if I switch to another account. It's not even a YP account.
