Loan Sharks, exploitation of citizens of South Africa

<p>I just got a quote from Wesbank CashPower, under-scribed by DirectAxis, for a personal loan, similar to the adverti*****t on this page around Need a Loan Urgently. The interest rate they quoted for a loan of R150,000 payable over 60 months was 34.12%. According to me this is exploitation of citizens of South Africa. The National Regulator should not allow this.</p> <p> </p>

Good day Thank you for sharing your views in respect of the interest charged on personal loans. Basically these are unsecured loans with no assets attached to them which constitutes a higher risk to the Bank - hence the higher interest rate. We trust that you find this in order. Kind regards WesBank
