Applying for personal loans in the past generally meant that applicants had to choose between applying at a bank or borrowing money from a family member, a friend or a loan shark. With the amendments in the National Credit Act, the South African Financial industry provided more opportunities for micro lending institutions.
Numerous other registered financial institutions in the country are now also able to provide financial solutions such as personal loans and credit cards to qualifying individuals.
Although it is widely renowned for its products and services in the retail sector, Woolworths also provides financial services through its Woolworths Financial Services division.
One of the products offered through this service is the Woolworths Personal Loan.
