Small loans (or micro loans, mini loans) offer small amounts of money, usually for brief periods. They’re aimed at providing quick financial relief for unexpected expenses or cash shortages, with the advantages of fast approval, minimal paperwork, and easy online applications. Small loans through us can be as small as R100, with repayment terms of 2 months minimum. Many lenders can approve small loans on the same day, though some might require 24 to 48 hours.
Big loans, on the other hand, may gain you access to larger amounts up to R250 000. The repayment terms can also range up to 72 months. A bigger loan also typically require longer approval time from lenders, due to the larger amount being lent and more paperwork involved.
Whatever the size, loans are unsecured, meaning they are usually given without asking for collateral, so you won’t need to secure the loan with your assets.
Choosing between the size of a loan hinges on personal needs. We do not recommend taking a loan larger than what you require, or can afford to pay back.
What you get offered depends mostly on how the lender views your ability to pay back the money. The amount of interest you pay also depends on your credit score—the better your score, the lower your interest rate might be.
When managed properly, a loan should not negatively affect your credit score. If you pay back the loan on time, it can help your credit score because it shows you’re good at paying back money you borrow. But if you miss payments or pay late, it can hurt your credit score. So, it’s really important to make sure you can pay back a short-term loan on time to avoid any problems with your credit.
The duration of the loan varies, usually extending from a few months to several years, depending on the lender’s offerings and the borrower’s requirements. This flexibility allows borrowers to choose a loan term that best fits their financial situation.
Our loan online application offers borrowers versatility in both the amount borrowed and the repayment schedule, with terms generally spanning from several weeks to a many months.
Through us, the minimum repayment period for a loan is around 2 months.
When applying for a loan, you will have to provide the following information:
With this info, the lenders will check your credit score to decide if you get the loan and what interest rate you’ll pay.
It’s important not to immediately accept the first loan offer you receive. Instead, take the time to compare different loans and calculate the total cost of the loan upon completion of all monthly repayments. This comparison may reveal significant differences in costs.
Our primary goal is to empower people, small business owners, agencies, and freelancers with maximum financial certainty.
