We factor a number of data points in our decision engine. There are 2 main factors that influence the scoring.
- We were unable to verify your identity.
- Our decision engine returned with a high creditor risk result.
Identity
Protecting your Identity and personal records are our primary concern. We understand that Identity theft is the 1st line of consumer fraud. And so it is a non-negotiable factor with us. When you sign up, we ask you to fill in your name as per your South African issued ID document. During your signup flow when you submit your Name and ID number we make a data call to the department of Home Affairs to verify the records you submitted.
Credit Profile
Perhaps check your credit score and make sure that you don't have any adverse listings. As a consumer you are entitled to access your credit profile free of charge once a year, and if you disagree with any data reflecting on your credit report, you can appeal the listing directly with the bureau you used.
If it is simply that you have no credit history, please let us know, and we will attempt to re-score your application.
