Container Finance & Payment Programmes

Container Finance & Payment Programmes

Own the container or project you need without paying the entire asset cost upfront.

African Containers Hub offers several ways to pay. Your final options depend on the quotation, asset value, delivery requirements, eligibility, provider approval and the final agreement.

1. Buy outright

Pay the agreed quotation using the available ACH payment options. Delivery is quoted separately according to your site and access requirements.

2. Partner-funded instalment finance

For eligible container assets from R50,000, ACH can submit an application for finance-assisted instalment purchase. The current ACH programme supports 24 or 36 months; 48- and 60-month terms are no longer offered.

  • Indicative customer contribution: 10% of the eligible asset value.
  • Indicative financing term: 24 or 36 months.
  • The finance provider makes the final affordability, credit, rate, fee and approval decision.
  • ACH requires verified funding evidence before financed production or delivery is released.

3. ACH Rent-to-Own

For eligible assets from R30,000, ACH may offer a Rent-to-Own programme subject to application, agreement and eligibility requirements.

  • Indicative security/capital deposit: 15% of eligible asset value.
  • Application/activation fee: R495.
  • Available terms: 12, 24 or 36 months.
  • Indicative pricing is not a credit offer and the final agreement controls.
  • Ownership remains with ACH during the rental period and transfers only when all contractual conditions have been satisfied.

PayFast payment options

Where enabled for the relevant transaction, PayFast provides ACH with a broad payment rail covering cards and supported alternative payment methods, including Instant EFT, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Mobicred, Mukuru, Scan to Pay, SnapScan, Zapper and other provider-supported methods. Availability is determined by the PayFast account, transaction and provider rules.

How the ACH process works

  1. Select a container or request a custom build.
  2. Get a project-specific quotation, including delivery and any installation.
  3. Choose cash purchase, eligible instalment finance or Rent-to-Own.
  4. Complete the required application, disclosures and agreement steps.
  5. ACH verifies the required payment or finance funding evidence.
  6. Only then does the order move through controlled production and delivery release.

What your quotation controls

Your quotation is the commercial record for the agreed product or project scope, pricing, delivery, installation and payment requirements. Finance calculations shown online are indicative until the relevant provider or signed agreement confirms the final terms.

Important information

Finance is subject to eligibility, affordability/risk assessment, provider approval, documentation and applicable South African requirements. ACH does not guarantee approval. Rates, fees, ownership, cancellation rights and other contractual terms are governed by the applicable final agreement.

Do not rely on an indicative monthly amount as a final finance offer.
