How borrowing works locally

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments.

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one. Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans.
