Atlas Finance assesses each application on an individual basis, including a credit bureau check and an affordability assessment as required by the National Credit Act. Having an adverse credit history does not result in automatic decline, but it does reduce the likelihood of approval. Borrowers with recent defaults, judgements, or an active administration order are less likely to qualify. If your credit score is poor, consider consulting a debt counsellor before applying.

If you anticipate difficulty repaying, contact Atlas Finance as soon as possible — ideally before the debit order fails. Missing payments leads to penalty charges, credit bureau listings, and potentially legal action. For formal debt relief, contact an NCR-registered debt counsellor via [ncr.org.za](https://www.ncr.org.za/).
No application fee is charged. Fees (initiation fee, monthly service fee, and credit life premium) are only payable once a loan is approved and the agreement is signed.
Atlas Finance primarily targets salaried employees and pensioners. Self-employed applicants may face additional challenges as the income documentation requirements (regular salary deposits on bank statements) may not align with variable income patterns. Contact Atlas Finance directly on 0800 204 679 to confirm current policy for self-employed borrowers.
