What we can offer you

We offer loans with values starting from $300 up to $10,000 and give you, the customer, flexibility when it comes to choosing a repayment plan. You can choose to repay your loan any time between 6 and 24 months. This will be dependent on the size of the loan that you request as well as your financial situation.

Our loans come in three different sizes, namely, small, medium and large. Our small personal loans for pensioners tend to be unsecured personal loans for pensioners and therefore, do not need to be attached to an asset. However, if you’re requesting a larger sum of money, you can expect to choose an asset of yours to attach to the loan. These are called secured personal loans for pensioners and are used by lenders to minimise the financial impact of an unrepaid loan. We secure our loans to align with our responsible lending practices and do our best to not let our customers lose any of these assets by only offering loans to those who can afford them.
