Another service offered by Standard Bank, known as Accessline Listings, enables you to search for properties online based on a specified set of criteria, such as magisterial district, suburb, price range and type of home. A list of properties matching the search criteria will then be displayed and details of each property, including a photograph, are available. You can also apply for a loan from Standard Bank online.
