What does a Century Financial Services loan cost?
Like all NCR-registered lenders, Century Financial Services's pricing is capped by the National Credit Act: interest of up to 5% per month on a first loan, an initiation fee of R165 + 10% of the amount above R1 000 (max R1 050), and a monthly service fee of R60, plus VAT on fees. The exact figures appear in your pre-agreement quote before you sign. Use our loan calculator to estimate the total cost for your amount and term.
Our verdict
Century is the pick when you need a bigger amount or longer to repay. Use our calculator to check the total cost before you commit, since longer terms add service fees each month.
