What is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a type of short-term loan, often used for emergency expenses and to tide you over until your next payday from work. This type of product is usually used for around 3 to 6 months and is repaid over monthly instalments.
Payday loans are often for small amounts such as R100 to R8,000 and to cover household expenses, car repairs and other emergencies. They are not designed to be for long-term use and they may carry a slightly higher APR, but this is to reflect the short-term nature of the product.

What Do I Need to Consider? Is a Payday Loan Right For Me?
Payday loans can be an effective way to borrow money over a short period, especially if you have been declined elsewhere or do not have any money saved up. The main thing to consider is that payday loans can be a little expensive if you use them too often or cannot repay them on-time, since they can attract late fees.
So when deciding if it is right for you, you need to be certain that you can afford to repay your loan on-time and will not fall into financial difficulty. Similarly, you need to choose any amount that is affordable and not necessarily borrow more than you need to - since this will simply accrue more interest.
Therefore, it is important to consider exactly how much you need to borrow and how long for, so that you do not fall into repayment trouble.

How Do Repayments Work for Payday Loans?
Payday loans are typically repaid in equal monthly instalments over the duration of the loan, whether it is 3,6,9,12 or 24 months, or longer.
With equal instalments, you will know exactly how much you are repaying each month and this will be collected automatically out of your account, so you do not need to phone up or make a manual payment since this is all taken care of. Simple.
Your collections are made on a scheduled repayment date that you choose, typically your payday, which is the last Friday or working day of the month.
You will also have the option to repay early - and at any time - and you will often save money on the interest for doing so.
Can I Get a Payday Loan with Bad Credit?
Yes, we can offer payday loans for people with bad credit histories, taking all kinds of backgrounds into consideration. You will need to meet the basic criteria such as being employed, a full-time SA resident and able to meet monthly repayments on-time.
We are more interested in your future and not your past. If you are in a better financial position and looking to improve your credit score and make payments on-time, we are more than happy to consider your loan application.
To assist those looking for payday loans for poor credit, we may slightly adjust the amount you have requested to borrow and the loan duration to make repayments more flexible. See bad credit loans for more information.
