LOAN FAQS
Are you in debt? Do you need help paying your bills? Then an interest-free loan may be right for you. Our loans help when cash flow is low or you are in a financially difficult situation.
We make loans up to $10,000 depending on need, ability to make monthly repayments, and the amount of loan capital available at the time.
A guarantor is usually a close friend or relative. While the borrower makes monthly payments, the guarantors will be responsible for repaying the loan if the borrower’s payments are not made. For loans of $1,000 or less, a guarantor may not be required.
The typical repayment period is 24 – 36
Loan payments usually begin one month after receipt of the loan.
