Armoured Mobility is reporting a significant uptake in enquires and sales just weeks after launching South Africa’s first-ever dedicated bank finance program for armoured vehicles. The new financing solution is making personal protection more accessible to a wider range of clients, who can now secure top-tier security without the need to pay the full cost upfront.
Previously, purchasing an armoured vehicle required a full cash payment, which limited the market to a very niche segment of buyers. By partnering with major financial institutions, Armoured Mobility has eliminated this barrier, allowing more South Africans to finance their safety.
“We’ve seen a clear rise in interest and actual purchases since we introduced the finance option,” says Nabeel Khan, General Manager at Armoured Mobility. “Clients who previously admired our vehicles from a distance are now in the driver’s seat. This solution is removing one of the biggest barriers in the armoured vehicle market, making it possible for more South Africans to prioritize their safety.”
According to recent crime statistics for South Africa, kidnapping increased by nearly 7% YoY (2024-2025) to 4571 cases and aggravated robbery which includes carjacking was reported at 31 749 cases, an average of 353 per day according to the Institute for Security Studies.
The company is seeing increased uptake not only from high-profile clients but also from business owners, executives, and families who understand the value of protection for everyday travel.
Khan adds, “Our commitment doesn’t stop here, we will continue to develop innovative finance and ownership solutions to make armoured vehicles even more accessible. Personal and family mobility safety is fast becoming an achievable reality for many.”
