Hi Kabelo,

Thank you for the review. We noticed you gave MyLoan 5 stars, which is great! As the loan was secured through Arcadia Finance, we'd like to think we deserve a little credit too. The loan amount is set by the lender based on your affordability and credit profile, but we're glad the process worked out for you.

Kind regards
