Understanding that vehicle ownership represents both freedom and a major financial milestone, Absa is dedicated to equipping customers with the tools to make informed decisions. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Cars.co.za, a trusted brand in the automotive space,” said Charl Potgieter, Managing Executive of Absa Vehicle and Asset Finance. “By providing consumers with the right information, we empower them to move forward with confidence when purchasing a car.”
As part of this initiative, Absa and Cars.co.za will introduce educational campaigns, webinars, and digital resources focused on key financial aspects, including budgeting for a car, understanding loan agreements, and credit score management. With the South African automotive market evolving—particularly with the rise of electric and hybrid vehicles—this initiative aims to guide consumers in making choices that align with their needs and financial goals.
Amasi Mwela, Managing Director of Cars.co.za, added, “Cars.co.za is more than just a marketplace—we strive to empower consumers with the right information. Our continued partnership with Absa enhances this mission, making a real impact on how people engage with car finance.”
