Every figure is transcribed from the provider’s own published material. Where a provider does not disclose something, this table says so rather than estimating it. Last checked 10 August 2026.

How it works

Compare the real cost
Every provider shows its legal entity, NCR number, amount and term — and where it does not disclose something, we say so.
Apply with the lender
You apply on the lender’s own site with your SA ID and bank details. The lender runs the affordability check the National Credit Act requires.
Read the quote before you sign
The pre-agreement quote must show every fee, VAT and the total cost of credit. You are entitled to take it away and compare it.

Borrow safely

Every provider on ZarCash names its registered credit provider, with a source link and a last-checked date. Before you sign anywhere — here or elsewhere — check three things:

The lender’s NCRCP number is published on its own site, and it checks out in the National Credit Regulator’s register.
The pre-agreement quote breaks out the total cost of credit: interest, initiation fee, service fee and VAT — as one figure you can compare.
Nobody asks you for an upfront “release fee”. A registered credit provider never charges you before it pays out.
