Responsible Lending Commitment

In strict compliance with Section 81 of the National Credit Act, we maintain a robust policy against reckless credit granting. Before entering into any credit agreement:

  • We conduct mandatory affordability assessments to assess the consumer's financial means and existing debt obligations.
  • We ensure that loan repayments will not result in financial over-indebtedness.
  • We clearly explain the risks, costs, and terms of the loan so the consumer makes an informed borrowing decision.

Pre-Agreement Disclosure & Quotation

Prior to entering into an agreement, each prospective borrower receives a complete Short Term Loan Agreement Form specifying:

  • The principal capital amount disbursed via transfer.
  • The applicable monthly interest rate.
  • The once-off initiation fee and recurring monthly service fee.
  • Any applicable threshold surcharges.
  • Statutory Value-Added Tax (VAT) amounts.
  • The exact due date and total repayment amount payable.

All fees and interest charges are strictly capped within the statutory limits prescribed by the National Credit Act regulations.
