LendPlus loan requirements: apply with stable income, not a perfect credit score

Your credit score needn't be perfect. A reasonable history helps, but your income, documents and assessment still matter for a LendPlus loan.

LendPlus

LendPlus requires a stable source of income and your latest three months of bank statements. A reasonable credit history improves your chances of approval.

What you need for an online application, and who qualifies for the highest limit

You need legal South African residency and a valid South African ID. Applications run exclusively online: you won’t arrange this loan through a branch.

A favourable assessment can lead to an offer, subject to final review and approval. Only repeat customers can qualify for ZAR 4,000.

Your borrowing costs go beyond the interest

Lendplus Technology (Pty) Ltd charges a 60% APR over a calendar year. The initiation fee is 16.5% of the principal, adding to what you repay beyond interest.

Your service fee depends on the days left in the month when the loan is paid out. You receive a pre-agreement statement and quotation to review and approve.
