Can I get a loan if I have a bad credit record?

Yes, we require our clients to be employed for a minimum period of 3 months and receive a monthly salary paid into your bank account that we will debit.

Do I need a bank account or can I use a relative or friend’s account?

You need to have an active bank account that is registered in your name. We will not be able to make any payments to a 3rd party bank account.

How do the repayments/debit orders work?

When you apply for your loan, you will choose the term in which you would like to repay the loan. A debit order is loaded on your account and every time you get paid your salary, an instalment is deducted from your account. This means that you won’t have to set up a payment on your end, we do it all for you.

You will be prompted via SMS to confirm the new DebiCheck debit order which you can do on any of the following channels: You will be provided with a quotation which sets out your monthly instalment payable to us.

What if I am unable to pay back the agreed instalment in time?

We understand that certain things happen in life that are out of your control. We will always try and accommodate your situation and make alternative arrangements where we can. The responsibility to set up an alternative arrangement lies with you.

What happens if I don’t repay my loan at all?

In the event of non-repayment and we are unable to work out an active arrangement with you, we will be forced to hand your account over to the legal department, and ultimately to a debt collecting company. This will mean unnecessary costs for you, and will also affect your chances of qualifying for a loan anywhere else in future. That is why it is very important for you to communicate with us if you are experiencing financial difficulties, this will allow us to revise your repayment plan and help you out where we can.
