Know before you apply

Check your credit health

Before applying for finance, it helps to understand your credit standing. Use this tool to get a clear picture of your affordability and whether you may be at risk — then let our AI assistant guide you honestly.

Your free credit report

Every South African is entitled to one free credit report per year from each bureau under the NCA. Check yours before applying.

Checking your own credit report is a soft enquiry and does not affect your credit score.

Self-assessment tool

Answer a few quick questions. Our AI will give you an honest, NCA-aware assessment of your situation — including whether you may be over-indebted or under debt review.

This tool does not access any credit bureau. It uses the information you provide to give general guidance only. It is not a credit decision and does not affect your credit record.

Are you currently behind on any debt payments?
Are you currently under debt review?
Is there a garnishee / emolument attachment order on your salary?
Are you working with a debt counsellor?
