Mobile Troubleshooting
Form not loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload. Disable any aggressive ad blockers — some form elements require JavaScript from the site's own domain.
Cannot upload bank statements. Ensure the file is in PDF or image format (JPG/PNG) and is under 5 MB. Rename files to simple Latin characters if upload fails.
Page session expires mid-application. EC Online Loans' application form may time out after a period of inactivity. Save your details in a secure notes app before starting; complete the form in one session.
Login OTP not arriving. Confirm your mobile number is active and in coverage. Request a resend after 60 seconds. If the delay persists, try email verification or contact support at 087 943 2500.
Is There a Plan for a Native App?
EC Online Loans' public materials do not announce an upcoming native app. Given the mobile-optimised website's full feature parity with the desktop version, many users find the browser experience sufficient for the application workflow. If you prefer a native app experience for ongoing loan management, FinChoice offers a dedicated South African personal loan app available on both Android and iOS.
FAQ — Mobile
