Hi Phindile,
Thank you for raising this. We understand how frustrating this must be. Please note that Arcadia Finance is a loan comparison service and we do not determine loan amounts, add interest or include any additional products like funeral cover. These are all decisions made solely by the lender. We'd strongly recommend contacting your lender directly to query the loan amount and any additional charges.
Kind regards

Hi Ofentse,
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that. As a loan comparison service, the final outcome depends on each lender's criteria, which is unfortunately outside of our control. If you'd like us to look into your application, feel free to get in touch.

Thank you for letting us know, Kutlwano. As a loan broker, we don't handle payouts directly as those are processed by the lender. We'd recommend following up with the lender directly to find out when the funds will reflect in your account.

Thanks for reaching out, Paul. As a broker, we don't process applications directly, so confirmation will come from the lender on their side. We'd suggest checking your email for any updates. Fingers crossed for good news soon!
