Frequently asked questions

What does Milestone Finance lend, and how much?+

Milestone Finance is a direct lender in Eswatini offering personal, payday, secured, business and bridging loans. Borrowing runs SZL 500 to SZL 50,000 and terms run 4 to 36 months, so a borrower can take a small short loan or a larger one spread over a longer period.

What rate do I pay on the loan?+

Every product is fixed rate, so the repayment does not rise or fall with a market rate during the term. That makes budgeting straightforward, and paying the loan off sooner becomes the clearest way to bring the total interest down.

What fees are charged?+

Milestone Finance charges a E50 ITC credit report fee for the credit report, charged on the personal, payday and secured it offers. The rest of the cost sits in the fixed rate, so a term of 4 to 36 months costs more overall than a shorter one, even where the monthly figure looks lighter.

Is Milestone Finance regulated?+

Milestone Finance trades as Ingungu Investments (Pty) Ltd and holds a Financial Services Regulatory Authority licence in Eswatini, CP/301/2025. direct lender is worth keeping in mind: you are dealing with a credit provider that takes repayments, not a host for savings.

How quickly is money released?+

Milestone Finance offers same day funding, and funding starts once your documents are complete and the checks are passed. Speed therefore depends on how quickly you can supply an Eswatini ID, a payslip, bank statements and proof of residence, so gathering paperwork first saves delay.

What credit check is used?+

Applications run a hard credit check, the standard full search, which stays on your file for a set period. Borrowers with a thin history can therefore be declined, so it pays to review your own credit report before applying.

Who can apply?+

Milestone Finance lends to Eswatini residents with a minimum age who are employed in the public or private sector. You need an Eswatini ID, your latest payslip, several months of bank statements and proof of residence, and a hard credit check runs as part of the application.

Can I repay the loan early?+

Milestone Finance offers free early repayment, so settling part or all of the balance early carries no charge. With a fixed rate, early settlement is the straightforward way to cut the total interest, and it suits borrowers whose income shifts from month to month.
