Risks to consider when getting a loan

In today’s challenging economic environment, access to short-term funding may be needed to keep a business or household afloat. However, it can be difficult to find a lender you trust, especially online.

Use common sense and beware of scams

Please see our article on avoiding disreputable moneylenders for some general advice about online loans and details of types of scams to avoid.

Avoid pawn and drive loans

We strongly advise against “pawn and drive” loans in South Africa. We explain why in our article, Warning: The Risks of Pawn and Drive Your Car Schemes in South Africa.

Protect your privacy

Even banks – traditionally considered the safest of all lenders – share customers’ information with both credit bureaus and the government.

If you take a bank loan, for example, it can affect your credit rating. (It can also be very difficult to get a bank loan if you have a credit rating that’s fair or lower).

Other unscrupulous lenders (online or off) could share your personal information with any number of third parties, even putting you at risk of identity theft.

Online loans in South Africa with instant approval

Simply tell us about the asset you’d like to use and we’ll make an initial online loan offer, straight away.

If you’d like to proceed, we’ll ask that you make an appointment at one of our branches, for independent appraisal of the asset. We’ll then finalise a loan offer and pay the funds into your account.
