We’re on a mission to help people own their possibilities, giving them effortless control with access to fast, short-term credit.

Wonga has been operating South Africa for over 10 years. In that time, we’ve written over 4 million loans valued at R11.7 billion. Our business was originally part of the Wonga Group, which had lending operations in the UK, Spain, Poland, Canada and South Africa – but became a standalone, locally owned and managed operation in South Africa in 2019. Our separation from the Wonga Group has allowed us to tailor our offer to our customers’ needs as we understand the personal finance landscape in South Africa very well.

Our Offer:
