To take full advantage of LEGiT’s lifestyle offerings in South Africa, it may be necessary to make a LEGiT account application, which can be done online or in store.
The retail chain is popular for its trendy products, ranging from clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty and cellular items. Having an account enables you to buy items on credit – as long as you keep up with your monthly repayments.
In this article, we outline how to apply for an account so you can take advantage of the easy credit repayment terms to buy LEGiT products.
LEGiT account application online
LEGiT is part of the broader Edgars retail brand, which has a single accounts portal for all its brands. Therefore, to start your LEGiT account application online, you need to visit the Edgars account application page here.
Next, click the black button that states, “Apply Now.” This will redirect you to Edgars’ Account Protection Plan Consent page, where you must consent to taking up an insurance cover via Hollard to protect your account. If you have an existing insurance that offers the same cover, you can cede it to Edgars, so you won’t take up another one.
On the consent page, provide your details such as your name and surname, ID number, cellphone number and email address. Tick the box if you wish to receive marketing communication, and then tick the second box to confirm that you’re not a robot.
The next step is to click the “Proceed to Consent” button. This will redirect you to the online Edgars account application form. While filling out this form, you will need to upload copies of your ID document and the latest three months payslips or bank statements reflecting your salary.
If everything is in order, you will receive email or SMS confirmation that your application has been received. Edgars will subsequently contact you with the outcome of your application. If it is successful, you can visit your nearest Edgars or LEGiT store with your ID to receive your card.
A successful LEGiT account application online means you can use the Edgars card at a LEGiT store, Edgars store or any other brand that falls under the Edgars retail chain.
