About Fasta

FASTA offers South Africans a revolutionary way to pay for goods and services on credit.

While payday loans are not new to the South African market, FASTA’s payout and spending options are.

As a new Fintech business, they’re leading the way with their innovative approach to short-term lending and spending. While they’ve only been around for 3 years, they’ve amassed a significant number of satisfied customers and loyal fans.

When you take out a quick loan with FASTA, you’ll be able to use your money in three ways. These are referred to as FASTAcard, FASTAcash, and FASTAcheckout.

How you can get and spend your FASTA loan

  • Opt to load your personal loan onto a virtual card. You can then use this virtual card at any participating online or in-store retailer.
  • Choose to have your loan deposited into your bank account. This is the traditional way of getting access to your money.
  • While making an online payment, select the FASTA payment option. This option is only available for participating online retailers.

More and more retailers and service providers are joining the payment revolution and helping customers find easier ways to pay them. You can use FASTACheckout to pay for products and services from some of SA’s top online stores in an instant.

Fasta Services

Fasta offers South Africans payday loans that range from R500 to R8 000.

While most lenders require you to repay a loan in a single installment, FASTA offers more flexible terms. You can select one, two, or even three installments. This will make your loan more affordable and also help you qualify for a larger sum.

Affordable, quick, and secure payday loans

If you’re looking for a payday loan, FASTA can help you out. In addition to their simple online application - they payout approved short-term loans instantly.

Their incredible speed can be attributed to their automated systems and processes which don’t require human intervention. If you need a quick loan, you’ve found a lender worthy of your time and money! They’re a registered credit provider, employ bank-grade security features, and follow a strict privacy policy to protect your information.

Using your FASTA virtual card

If you’ve chosen to spend your money using the FASTA virtual card, you can make purchases using your Smartphone wherever a store accepts Mastercard payments or where stores use Snapscan or Snapscan and Zapper through VodaPay.

To make a till-point payment, cashiers will simply scan your QR code or use your 12-digit pin to process your payment.
