Finvo is not a credit provider. We are an independent loan comparison service and only work with credit providers registered with the National Credit Regulator (NCR). When you apply through Finvo, your request is passed on to one or more lenders, who make their own credit decision. Our service is free – we may receive a commission from our partners when a loan is paid out, which never affects your interest rate or fees.

Representative example: A loan of R30,000 over 36 months at an illustrative annual interest rate of 28.25% gives an estimated monthly repayment of R1,364, including the initiation fee and monthly service fee. Total repayment: R49,107. Repayment terms range from 6 to 72 months.
