Lending FAQs
How long will it take for a loan to be processed?
Our turn around time for loan secured by your savings is the same day. For regular loans it should not exceed a week. Mortgages are more involved as there is the need to be processed by a legal entity and therefore will take longer.
Do I need security?
We lend on the strength of your security, but not in every case. The application will be assessed on an individual basis.
When are funds disbursed?
There is an assessment process. If lending is approved you may be called on the same day or at latest the following day.
When will I need to start repaying?
For loans approved during the 1st and 10th of the month, repayment is the end of the current month. Repayment will commence at the end of the following month on all loans approved after this date.
Can the disbursement cheque be made payable to me instead of the supplier?
It is our policy to have a record of the payee and is in keeping with what you requested.
