Pep account application evaluation process
PEP will evaluate your application according on its affordability standards after you have provided a proof of income to the organisation. They will then get in touch with you to inform you of the results of your application.
Keep in mind that if you are having trouble opening a PEP account online, you may always apply for one in any of the PEP stores located across South Africa. Remember to bring your government-issued identification as well as any kind of income verification.
In the event that your application is accepted, you will get a message instructing you to pick up your PEP account card at the PEP location that is most convenient for you. After then, you may use your card to make credit purchases from the brand’s clothes, cellphone, and home goods departments using the funds on your account. In addition, you may use the card in retailers such as Refinery and Ackermans as well as Tekkie Town, Dunns, Dealz, and Shoe City.
