BFS Loans WhatsApp number

You can use it to ask about eligibility, repayment dates, fees, application status, or whatever you have in mind. Messages will also be saved in the chat, so you will have a written record of everything you and they agreed on.

But do verify the WhatsApp number on BFS’s website to avoid any errors. That will also ensure you don’t send your personal details to the wrong number. Never send your PIN, your password, or your card details to anyone on WhatsApp. And of course, read the full loan agreement through and understand it before you sign.

The official WhatsApp number for Barko Financial Services (BFS Loans) is 078 298 9139.

Who is BFS Loans?

• Company: Barko Financial Services (Pty) Ltd, head office in Faerie Glen, Pretoria.
• Registration: National Credit Regulator number NCRCP 1764 and financial services provider license FSP 45614. You can confirm both on the NCR’s register before applying.
• Branches: It has more than 200 branches in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, the Western Cape, the Free State, and North West.
• Product: They offer quick short-term loans through their website, webchat, and physical branches. These loans are usually quick, single-installment payday loans. New borrowers are usually approved for smaller loans; however, the amount can increase with good repayments. BFS doesn’t provide multi-year long-term personal loans.

What do you need to apply?

Whether you apply online, via webchat, or in-store, you must meet these basic criteria to be eligible.

• A valid South African ID book or smart card.
• You must be 18 or older and have a regular income from employment or verifiable self-employed income; grants alone are usually not enough.
• Your latest payslips.
• A cell phone number for the DebiCheck mandate
• Three months of bank statements showing your salary deposits.
• A bank account that accepts a DebiCheck debit order.

You cannot apply online if you are not registered for online banking, as you need a bank card to apply for a BFS Loan.

You can apply at a branch or through the official online channels. Approval depends on the affordability assessment, not only on your payslips.
