How to qualify
If you answer ‘Yes’ to all of the following questions, you could qualify for credit:
- Are you 18 years or older?
- Do you have a recent bank statement and salary slip/pension letter?
- Are you employed (not self-employed) or do you earn a pension?
- Have you been with your current employer for longer than 2 months?
- Do you earn a salary (not just commission) which is paid into your bank account?
- You haven’t been handed over, sequestered or placed under debt review/administration?
- Self-employed? If you determine your own salary and payment date, you unfortunately don’t fall within our credit-granting policy.
Credit comparison tips
- Look at the total repayment amount over the full term
- While the interest rate is an important factor, don’t let it be the only one
- Understand the fees (once-off initiation fee and monthly service fee) and consider credit insurance (we offer this free on loans 6 months or longer)
