Our values
Our history
Sasfin was established in 1951 as a textile trading business. This business was converted into a finance business in the 1960s. Sasfin listed as a trade and equipment financier on the JSE in 1987. Following the listing, Sasfin established SASP in 1991 - the oldest standing securitisation vehicle in South Africa. Following a number of small acquisitions and strong organic growth, Sasfin obtained a banking license in 1999. In 2000 Sasfin acquired Frankel Pollak Securities, which today forms the base of Sasfin Wealth. Today Sasfin comprises Wealth, Asset Finance, and Business and Commercial Banking.
