Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
How quickly can I get approved and receive the funds?
Many lenders in South Africa offer instant or same-day approval if your documents are in order and you meet credit requirements. Once approved, funds are typically paid out within 24–48 hours, depending on your bank.
What documents do I need to apply?
You generally need a South African ID, proof of income (such as payslips), recent bank statements, and a proof of address.
How much can I borrow?
Personal loan amounts usually range from R1,000 to R350,000, depending on your credit profile, income, and the lender's internal limits. Responsible lenders assess affordability to ensure you don't overextend your finances.
Will applying for a loan affect my credit score?
Submitting an application that leads to a full credit check can cause a small, temporary dip in your credit score. However, responsible borrowing and on-time repayments will strengthen your credit record over time.
Are self-employed individuals eligible for personal loans?
Yes, but you may need to provide additional proof of income, such as business bank statements, invoices, or tax certificates.
Can I apply if I am under debt review?
No. If you are currently under debt review or debt counselling, lenders are legally prohibited from offering new credit until you are cleared. You must first settle your existing debts or exit the debt review process.
What fees are included in a personal loan?
Apart from interest, you might pay an initiation fee and a monthly service fee, both regulated by the National Credit Act (NCA). You will be informed of all the associated costs when you accept the loan agreement.
How can I improve my chances of approval?
Keep your credit score healthy by paying bills on time, reducing outstanding debts, and maintaining stable employment. Providing accurate documents and choosing a realistic loan amount also boosts approval odds.
Our Online Loan Application Service
We are not a credit provider. We are a loan aggregation service that works with trusted, NCR-registered partners in South Africa to help you find lending options suited to your personal profile and criteria.

Rates and Fees
Please note that our service does not cost you any additional fees. Should your loan be approved by one of the recommended lenders, these lenders may pay us a "finders fee" depending on the nature of our contract with them.

Will a personal loan affect my taxes?
A normal personal loan will not affect your tax in any way. You receive the loan but it is not deemed as income. You pay it back over the term of the loan and there are no tax implications.
What happens when friends lend to friends
Lending money to a friend can lead to a tricky situation where if anything were to go wrong it could drive a wedge between you and your friend and quite possibly end the relationship.
