Sunshine Loans Services

Payday loans are small loans and unsecured, taken over the short term and are ideal for you if you are experiencing cash flow problems.

These loans range between R500 and R4000. This is the sort of loan you might take out to pay for unexpected expenses, such as repairs or to tide you over until your next salary comes in. 

Cash advance:

This type of loan is usually less than R4000 and is repaid in under 7 weeks. Similar to payday loans, a direct deposit deducts your repayment and you can generally draw the money on the same day.

Emergency loan:

Sunshine Loans make getting this type of credit quick and simple. Emergency loans often cover vet or medical expenses. Urgent, essential expenses for which you may have yet to plan.

Your repayment will be made in the same way, i.e. by direct debit on your payday, but these loans may carry over a longer period, to ensure payments are manageable. This option becomes available if you have a good lending history with them.

Short-term loans:

These extend over a term of at least 4 days and are repaid in instalments. Usually, the loans are worked out over 2 to 3 months which is how you might typically understand a short-term loan.

Their offering is an online short-term loan of R500 - R4000, over up to 7 weeks. Again payments are set up to be deducted from your account via direct debit on the same day you get paid.

Personal Loan:

These are unsecured loans of under R4000 created to cover larger-than-normal expenses.  Your repayments will be taken on future paydays in easy repayments, to make the process easier.

Personal loans with Sunshine Loans are usually larger than typical payday loans and subject to your positive payment history with them.
