## Resource

In this episode, we explore age limits when applying for a bond in South Africa. Can you still get a bond at 70? How do the banks view applications from people nearing retirement? We break down how Absa, Nedbank, Standard Bank and FNB approach late-stage bond applications, including maximum repayment ages and loan terms. Whether you are planning your retirement, looking for a property investment, or simply curious about bond options later in life, this short episode gives you a clear understanding of what to expect and how to prepare. Remember, while the banks generally require bonds to be fully repaid by the age of 75, you may still apply later in life if you can show the ability to repay.
