Capfin Loan Criteria

In order to take advantage of this special loan offer you will need the following;

• Your South African ID Document
• Proof of income for the past 3 months
• Salary or monthly income amounts must be paid monthly into a SA bank account
• You must be permanently employed
• You need a cell phone contact number
• According to the Capfin & PEP loan advertisement, once you have submitted all your documents & forms, you will be contacted by SMS within five minutes to be informed whether you have been approved for the loan
• Finally Capfin will call you by phone to finalise your loan application

Interestingly, to qualify for a Capfin loan it appears that you will now need to provide proof of income whereas previously Capfin was reported (by www.fin24.com – 22 Aug 2014) to be in contravention of the National Credit Act as no proof of income was required for the granting of their loans.

However, Merwe Scholtz (chair of Southern View Finance Ltd, trading under the trade name of Capfin) did say at the time that a reputable legal firm was of the opinion that the company’s process of providing credit had been in line with the NCA.

Anyhow, the upshot of all of this is that it seems that to be granted a Capfin loan nowadays you will indeed have to supply proof of income.

The Cost Of a, Interest Free, Capfin One Month Loan

As by way of an example, an interest free Capfin or PEP loan of R4,000 will attract an initiation fee of R400 (10% of the loan amount) which will make the total loan repayment amount equal to R4,400.

There will be no interest or other fees applicable to this particular Capfin loan product as illustrated in the Capfin loan table below.
