What a loan really costs.

We believe you should understand the full cost before you borrow a cent. Here is a worked example using our standard first-loan pricing. Your own offer is calculated the same way and shown to you before you accept.

Short-term credit is for short-term needs. Borrow only what you need, and repay it as quickly as you comfortably can to keep the cost down.

You can apply for anywhere from R500 up to R7 000. Your approved amount depends on your income and affordability, which we assess from your bank statements and credit profile.

Most applicants get a decision in minutes. Once you accept your offer, approved loans are usually paid into your account very quickly, including outside normal banking hours.

Yes. As a responsible, NCR-registered lender we run a credit bureau check. A less-than-perfect score is not an automatic no. We also look closely at your actual income and affordability.

Your statements let us confirm your income and work out what you can comfortably repay. This protects you from taking on more than you can handle, and it helps us approve more people fairly.

Your documents are encrypted and used only to assess your application, in line with POPIA. We never sell your data.

Talk to us early. We would far rather work out a plan with you than see you fall behind. Contact our support team as soon as you know there is a problem.
