Pros and cons
Pros
- Borrowing of up to FJD 50,000 at a fixed rate of 12% to 18%, with terms of 24 to 84, so the cost is clear before you sign.
- Immediate access to funds subject to acceptance of offer, which suits a repair bill that cannot wait.
- A direct lender covers personal, secured, credit line and debt consolidation lending, with support on phone and email.
- An easy access account with day and night access, unlimited deposits, internet and mobile banking, from a lender operating since 1962.
Cons
- Rates of 12% to 18% sit above the 15.5% median, so borrowers with cheaper options elsewhere pay less.
- The top tier of the establishment fee is 1% of the limit amount, and smaller loans still pay a flat charge.
- Support runs on phone and email only, with no chat or branch route in the contact list.
Who it suits
- Fijian homeowners planning a renovation, since home improvement is the named use for the loan.
- Borrowers who want one lender to cover a personal loan, a secured loan, a credit line or debt consolidation.
- People who need money quickly, since same-day funding is a listed feature and a credit line is available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cashspace, whose PHP 12 to PHP 36 gives a wider band than 12% to 18% for people who want more room on the rate.
- Sofkredit, whose 10.74% to 18.06% starts lower, if the rate is the deciding factor.
- Creduma ES, whose borrowing of from €12,000 suits a far larger loan than up to FJD 50,000.
