Manage your cash flow during these times with a once-off, short-term personal loan that is
payable in one, single instalment. Use this checklist to apply for a loan in 6 easy steps.
1. Connect with Barko
Start a conversation by clicking our
webchat widget (bottom-right) and say “Hi” to get started.
Or phone our Toll-free number 080-777-3777.
Our webchat will start the conversation, and an agent will help you to complete the
application process. The full online solution will be launched soon.
2. Tell us who you are
To apply for a cash loan, we will need your ID Book/ID card or Passport. We want to make
sure that it is you asking for a loan, and not somebody else using your name.
3. Show us what you earn, what you spend, and what your current outstanding debt looks like
- When applying for a loan, you need to show your latest payslip and/or 3 months bank statement
- By providing your latest 3 months’ bank statement, we can make sure that we understand your monthly budget, when you get paid, and how we can best help you to cover your bills.
- We have to evaluate your credit history by obtaining a new search from a credit bureau to see what your latest debt obligations look like.
As an authorised credit provider, Barko has to make sure that you can afford the amount of
money you want to borrow. This is so that you can still pay your bills and pay back the loan
comfortably.
There are strict compliance criteria that we must follow by law, and we are not allowed to
grant a loan amount that would cause you financial distress.
4. Confirm employment and/or recurring monthly income
We need to confirm that you are still working and that you are earning a monthly salary/income.
5. Register a DebiCheck (debit order) mandate and receive payout of the loan you requested
If you qualify for a loan, the approval is done in minutes. We make it easy to repay your
loan by activating a debit order on your account. This is done either with your bank card, or by
approving the debit order mandate on your banking app and/or at an ATM.
After the mandate is registered, you will receive the loan payout into your account.
Managing your money for the future, while taking care of today’s expenses can be tricky.

long-term debt for yourself, and your family.
