What about added value?

iKhokha Cash advance 

A cash advance is automatically awarded to all traders who own and use an iKhokha card device for a period of 3 months. This is the easiest way to access funding which can grow your business as there are no further credit checks required (under R500 000). 

The value of the cash advance is calculated based on the average trading value over the 3month period.  

Hot tip! The higher the average amount (over 3 months) the higher the cash value you can qualify for.  

minimum R2500/month
