When to consider another option
A loan may be a poor fit when the instalment would replace money needed for rent, food, transport or existing debt. Repeated borrowing for normal monthly costs is another warning sign.
Costs and requirements to check
The advertised rate is Fixed, up to 5% per month under current short-term rules. Published fee information: Service, initiation and mandatory credit protection costs apply.
You may need South African ID, address, three months of income evidence and an active account. Monthly pricing makes total cost important. Compare it with a longer personal loan and non-credit alternatives.
