Mizamo Micro-Loans

Loan terms

MIZAMO MICRO-LOANS — LOAN TERMS Mizamo Micro-Loans, a division of Mizamo Growth (Pty) Ltd (Reg No: 2015/346720/07). 1. THE LOAN AND WHAT IT COSTS • You borrow an amount and pay one interest charge of 50%, due at the end of the month you are paid out in. Example: borrow R500, pay back R750 at month-end. • The app shows you the exact total and the due date BEFORE you accept. No other fees. No hidden costs. • The money is paid to you after approval — usually the same day. You may cancel at no cost any time before the money is paid out. 2. PAYING BACK • Pay the full amount by the due date — into our bank account (reference: your name and cellphone number) or in cash at our office. • Short this month? Pay ONLY the interest by the due date to carry the loan over to the next month-end, up to 4 times. The loan amount stays owing, and the NEW month's 50% interest is charged on it again. • Every payment is recorded in the app and you get an SMS receipt. Keep your receipts. 3. IF YOU DO NOT PAY — READ THIS CAREFULLY • THE DEBT DOES NOT PAUSE AND IT DOES NOT GO AWAY — IT GROWS. If you pay nothing, the loan is carried over anyway and the new month's 50% interest is ADDED to what you owe, month after month. Example: ignore a R500 loan and R750 becomes R1 000, then R1 250, then R1 500. Silence is the most expensive choice you can make. • Moving house, changing SIM cards or ignoring calls does not cancel a debt. We hold your ID number, your addresses and your next-of-kin's details, and we WILL use all of them: calls, WhatsApp, SMS, your next-of-kin — and visits to the address you registered. • Your account is frozen the day you miss payment: no new loans, no carry-overs, and your loyalty benefits are gone. • Unpaid accounts are handed over for formal collection: a written letter of demand, then the Small Claims Court. The costs the court allows are ADDED to your debt, and a judgment stands against your name. • Borrowing with false details, or taking money you never intend to pay back, is FRAUD — a criminal offence. Fraud cases are reported to the South African Police Service. • Struggling honestly? Then you have nothing to fear — talk to us BEFORE the due date and we make a plan together. We act on silence, not on honesty. 4. REWARDS FOR LOYAL CLIENTS • Every loan you pay on time builds your record with us. • Good payers qualify for bigger loan amounts and faster approvals. • Our most loyal clients get first access to special offers we run from time to time. 5. YOUR INFORMATION (POPIA) • We handle your personal information in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). • Your details, ID number and ID photos are used only to manage your loans and are kept private and secure. • We do not sell your information or share it with outside parties, except where it is needed to recover a debt (formal collection or the court) or where the law requires it. • Your next-of-kin contact is used only if we cannot reach you. • You may ask us at any time what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it. • Giving false information means we decline or cancel the loan. 6. YOUR AGREEMENT • By ticking "I agree" when you register and again each time you apply, you accept these terms electronically. The app records the date and time you agreed. • You confirm that you borrow of your own free will and that you can afford to pay back. • Questions? Call or WhatsApp 066 317 5885 or 081 209 0248.
