When you’re under financial pressure, quick access to cash can feel like the only thing that matters. But choosing the wrong lender can trap you in long-term debt, with sky-high interest rates and hidden fees.
This is where predatory lending becomes a real danger — and it’s more common than most people think.
What is a Predatory Lender?
Predatory lenders use misleading tactics to get you to sign a loan agreement that seems helpful but is actually harmful.
These lenders often:
-Promise instant approval without proper checks
-Use vague terms and confusing repayment structures
-Charge extremely high interest rates
-Pressure you to sign now, discouraging you from asking questions
These loans often start small but balloon into unmanageable debt.
Why It’s Safer to Use a Registered Credit Provider
Registered lenders follow strict legal and ethical guidelines under South Africa’s National Credit Act. They are transparent about interest rates, repayment periods, and all fees.
