FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I apply for a 30 day account in order to renovate or build my personal house?

  • No, our 30 day trade account is tailored towards contractors, businesses and developers. We have other tailored products such as our Builders Card or Real people loan to cater for individuals looking to maintain/improve their households.

What does 30 day credit mean? When do I need to pay?

  • Statements are distributed electronically via email on a monthly basis and payment is due within 30 days from statement (ie. June purchases are due for payment by 31 July). As long as the account is settled in 30 days no interest will be charged to your account. 

How do I pay my Builders 30 day Trade Account?

  • There are many ways to pay your Builders 30 day Trade Account:
  1. In-store, by visiting any Builders store in South Africa
  2. EFT payment. We are set-up as a public recipient with most of the major banks, simply use your 6 digit account number as reference. Our bank details can also be found on your latest statement.
  3. Pay on our website, by having your account linked to your on-line profile. On-line payments reflect immediately, no need to wait for the EFT to clear.

How do I link my Builders 30 day Trade Account to my profile to shop or pay on-line?

  • Call us on 0860 284 533 and we will link it for you.

Why can I not use my company or account name as reference when paying via EFT? 

  • We use the Builders account number to auto-allocate your payment. If you use anything other than the Builders account number only, the payment will have to be manually allocated – causing delays on your account, meaning the account could even be blocked.

What if I do not qualify for a 30 day Trade Account?

  • We have other options. One of the best ways of buying your supplies at Builders while keeping your money safe is the Builders Deposit Account. You simply deposit money into a pre-paid account, and use the card, which has a secret PIN number to pay for your purchases.
