Everything you need to apply for a Jet account in 2026 — how the credit limit works, the exact requirements, how to apply, and an honest read on how easy it is to get.
The Jet account is a value-focused TFG Money Account for affordable family fashion and homeware. It has a lower entry point than most and, as a TFG account, works across the whole group.
Because it's regulated credit, every application triggers a credit check — so it's worth knowing whether you'll qualify before you apply.
Jet sets your credit limit individually, based on your income and an affordability assessment under the National Credit Act. There is no fixed or publicly advertised limit range — your limit is decided when you apply and can change over time with your repayment history.
A 6-month interest-free plan is available if you pay in full and on time (you activate it via TFG). The default 12-month plan is interest-bearing.
To open a Jet account you'll generally need:
No retailer can guarantee approval, and neither can we. Meeting these requirements puts you in the strongest position — the final decision rests on your credit profile and affordability.
You can usually apply online, by phone or in-store. Online is fastest — most applicants get a decision quickly.
Have your SA ID, latest proof of income and bank statements ready as photos or PDFs.
Apply on Jet's official channel, in-store or by phone, and complete your details.
You'll agree to an affordability assessment and credit check — a legal requirement under the NCA.
If approved, your credit limit is set and your account is ready to use.

Like all NCA-regulated store accounts, a Jet account carries a monthly service fee, an initiation fee on opening, optional credit-life insurance, and interest on balances outside any interest-free window. The exact rands are disclosed in your credit agreement before you sign — read that carefully.
