The essentials, upfront.

Full-time employed applicants may apply. Pensioners and commission earners cannot currently be assisted.

At least R5,000 take-home pay

Straight answers

Before you apply.

Understand how the single-enquiry and multiple-offer process works before sharing your details.

How much can I apply for?+

Short-term emergency-loan options are available up to R8,000. The amount offered, if any, depends on the provider’s credit and affordability assessment.

Why might I be offered a personal loan?+

Depending on your profile, a personal-loan option may provide a different repayment period or potentially more affordable rate than a short-term loan. Compare the full terms before deciding.

Will I receive more than one offer?+

Your details may be considered across multiple available options, but the number of offers depends on provider assessments. An offer is not guaranteed.

Who can apply?+

Full-time employed clients with monthly take-home pay of at least R5,000 may apply. Pensioners and commission earners cannot currently be assisted. If you are self-employed, explore our unsecured business-loan options.

Can I apply while under debt review?+

No. Applicants under administration, debt review or sequestration cannot currently be assisted with this loan. If your circumstances have changed, complete our debt-review removal assessment.

Does completing the form guarantee approval?+

No. Each provider assesses applications individually. An offer, approval, amount and rate are not guaranteed.
