Know your applicant

Does this person really work, and can they afford the loan?

Every application goes through the same checks, and the results are saved on the applicant's file.

CheckWhat it does
Identity checkThe ID number is validated and can be checked against Home Affairs through a verification provider.
Proof of employmentPayslips, employer letter and employer contact details are captured and reviewed. Your consultant can record the employer verification call on the file.
Income and bank statementsThree months of bank statements are reviewed for salary deposits that match the stated income.
Bank account verificationThe account number is checked against the applicant's name before you pay out.
Credit bureau checkA credit enquiry shows existing debt, defaults and judgments. Results are stored with the application.
Affordability assessmentIncome, essential expenses and existing repayments decide how much the applicant can safely repay.
Duplicate and fraud flagsThe system warns you about repeat IDs, phone numbers and bank accounts across applications.

Checks that use an outside provider (credit bureau, ID verification, bank account verification) need your own agreement with that provider, and the provider charges you for each check. We help you connect them.

Legal compliance

Built around the rules you lend under

South African micro lenders work under the National Credit Act, FICA and POPIA. The system helps you follow the process and keep the evidence.

  • Pre-agreement statement and quotation before signing
  • Credit agreement in the required form and language
  • Fees and interest checked against your limits
  • Statements, settlement quotes and arrears notices

FICA

  • Identity and address documents captured
  • Customer due diligence saved on the file
  • Records kept for the required period

  • Personal information stored securely
  • Every access and change logged

Regulator records

VukaWeb software supports your compliance process. You remain responsible for being registered with the National Credit Regulator as a credit provider, for the fees and interest you charge staying within the legal limits, and for taking your own legal advice.
