Our Services
What Our Platform Offers
Vargo is a registered credit provider (NCR Registration Number: NCRCP24251) who provides short-term personal loans to qualifying consumers subject to the National Credit Act No. 34 of 2005 (“NCA”).
The Platform allows qualifying users to apply for, and if successful, obtain short-term personal loans from Vargo, subject to these Terms and the NCA. This is facilitated through the following services:
- Allowing users to create an account through our Platform;
- Allowing users to submit loan applications through our Platform;
- Subject to Vargo approving any loan application, allowing users to receive and sign the loan agreement;
- Allowing users to view current loan applications, previous loans from Vargo, their selected bank account and other personal details as well as copies of their loan agreement, settlement letter and statement of account; and
- Any other services available on the Platform from time to time,
(collectively, “Services”).
Our Process
When you create an account and submit a loan application through the Platform, you will be required to provide the information and supporting documents requested on the Platform (and/or as otherwise requested by Vargo from time to time). You must ensure that all information you provide is accurate, current, complete and not misleading.
Once we have received your loan application (and any additional information and/or supporting documents requested), Vargo will review and assess your application in accordance with its internal assessment processes and eligibility requirements and may conduct such checks and verifications as permitted by applicable law. You expressly consent to Vargo using any information provided by you for this purpose and to Vargo (and its operators, agents and service providers) obtaining, verifying, exchanging and processing information about you (including, where applicable, information held by credit bureaux and credit information held by credit bureaux) and conducting credit bureau checks/credit checks in order to assess your application, determine your eligibility and affordability, consider whether to grant you credit, and (if credit is granted) to manage, monitor and review the credit and your account. Vargo may approve or decline any application in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason permitted by applicable law.
If your application is approved, we will send you a pre-agreement statement and quotation setting out the proposed credit terms (which quotation will be binding for 5 (five) business days). If you accept the quotation within that period, we will send the applicable loan agreement to you electronically for signature, enabling you to review and sign the loan agreement electronically (which will also be available in your account through the Platform and emailed to the address you provided).
Any loan advanced by Vargo to you will be regulated solely by the separate written/electronic loan agreement concluded between you and Vargo (the “Loan Agreement”). These Terms regulate your access to and use of the Platform and the Services, and do not constitute an offer of credit and do not set out the credit terms applicable to any loan.
All terms specific to any loan, including (without limitation) the approved loan amount, repayment term, interest rate, fees, charges, repayment method and any other conditions, will be set out in the Loan Agreement.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms and the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement will prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
Service Disclaimers
Any functions, features and/or other services on the Platform are subject to change at any time and in our sole discretion. The available and applicable Services will be displayed on the Platform from time to time.
Users acknowledge and understand that data stored on the platform may be hosted by a third-party service provider who may be outside of the Republic of South Africa. We retain access to all data so provided. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information in this regard and how we process your personal information.
Users acknowledge and agree that submitting a loan application through the Platform does not create any obligation on Vargo to approve, advance, or provide any loan or other credit to the user. All loan applications are subject to Vargo's internal assessment processes and eligibility requirements, and Vargo may approve or decline any loan application in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason permitted by applicable law. Where Vargo elects to approve any loan, such approval will be subject to such terms and conditions as Vargo may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, including (without limitation) the loan amount, interest rate, fees, repayment term, security (if any), and any supporting documentation or verifications required. Any indication on the Platform that a user may qualify, any estimated loan terms, or any pre-assessment outcome is provided for convenience only, is not binding on Vargo (unless otherwise specified in writing), and does not constitute an offer of credit. Any loan will only be concluded once the parties have entered into a separate written/electronic loan agreement, on the terms set out therein.
Special Offers
From time to time, Vargo may (in its sole discretion) introduce special or promotional offers. These will be governed by separate terms and conditions, which may be published on the Platform at the time of launch.
Automated Processing and AI Tools
We may use automated processing tools, artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, speech-to-text, call recording analysis, quality assurance tools, chatbots, virtual assistants and similar technologies from time to time in connection with the Platform and our services. These tools may be used to process your personal information, communications, call recordings, voice data, transcripts, application information, account information, repayment history and other information relating to your use of the Platform, for purposes including (without limitation) operating and improving the Platform, customer support, sales and collections communications, credit and affordability assessment, fraud prevention, risk management, quality assurance, staff training, compliance, record-keeping and account administration and you hereby consent to such use.
These tools may be operated by us or by third-party service providers, including providers located or hosting information outside South Africa, in which case we will take steps required by applicable law to protect your personal information. Automated tools may assist us by generating recommendations, summaries, classifications, scores, draft responses or workflow actions, but we will not make decisions about you which have legal consequences or substantially affect you solely on the basis of automated processing, unless permitted by law and subject to any safeguards required by law. Where consent is required for any specific processing activity, we will request it in the manner required by law.
Insurance
Vargo may, as a condition to the approval and/or advancement of any loan, require that the user maintains appropriate insurance of a type and on terms specified by Vargo from time to time, subject always to: (i) compliance with the NCA (including any applicable regulations); and (ii) the terms of the applicable written/electronic loan agreement concluded between the user and Vargo. Where insurance is required, the requirement, minimum parameters (as applicable) and any timing for providing proof of cover will be communicated to the user in writing.
Vargo does not: (i) arrange, negotiate, enter into, administer, collect premiums for, or claim under any insurance policy on behalf of any user; (ii) provide any financial advice, financial service, intermediary service, recommendation, opinion or guidance in relation to insurance products, insurers, policy terms, suitability, affordability, exclusions or benefits; or (iii) act as an agent or representative of the user or of any insurer. Any decision to obtain insurance, the selection of any insurer or product, and the terms and performance of any insurance policy are the user's responsibility. Vargo may provide the user with factual information and/or contact details of one or more independent insurance providers that offer insurance products of a type that may meet any relevant requirement. Any such information is provided for convenience only and must not be construed as advice, a recommendation, or an endorsement of any provider or product. Any insurance policy (if obtained) is concluded directly between the user and the insurer, and the insurer remains solely responsible for disclosures, advice (if any), underwriting, policy administration and claims.
For the avoidance of doubt, unless expressly stated in the Loan Agreement, the existence, absence, validity or performance of any insurance policy will not limit or reduce the user's obligations to Vargo under any loan, including the obligation to repay all amounts due.

Indemnities and Disclaimers
Disclaimers
The Platform and Services, including intellectual property appearing therein, are provided "as is" and "as available". We make no representations or warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties as to the accuracy, correctness, or suitability of either the Platform or the Services.
All content, information, and/or opinions of users made available on the Platform in relation to any of the Services are those of the authors and not Vargo. While we make every reasonable effort to present such information accurately and reliably on the Platform we do not endorse, approve, or certify such information, nor guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information on the Platform.
We take reasonable security measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the Platform and to exclude viruses, unlawful monitoring and/or access from the Platform offline. However, we do not warrant or represent that your access to the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free or that any information, data, content, software, or other material accessible through the Platform will be free of bugs, viruses, worms, trojan horses or other harmful components. Your access to and use of the Platform remains solely at your own risk, and you should take your own precautions accordingly.
Indemnities
To the extent legally permissible, Vargo, its shareholders, directors, employees, partners, and affiliates, accept no liability whatsoever for any loss, costs, expenses, fines, or damages, including but not limited to direct or indirect loss or damages, including any economic loss, consequential loss, loss of profits or any form of punitive damages (and you indemnify Vargo accordingly) arising from any breach by you of these Terms or any Loan Agreement.
This clause will survive termination of these Terms.
Dispute Resolution
Disputes between you and Vargo
Negotiation - Should any dispute, disagreement or claim arise between you and Vargo concerning the use of the Platform or the Services, the parties shall endeavour to resolve the dispute amicably, by negotiation, and with the best interests of both parties in mind.
Jurisdiction - Notwithstanding the above, both parties' consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate South African court. Either party may also always use the dispute resolution services of any applicable legislative tribunal or ombud, as provided for in applicable legislation.
No publication - The parties both agree that in no circumstance will either party publicise the dispute on any social media or other public platforms. The parties understand that any publicity of this nature can cause serious damage to the other party, which damage may result in a financial claim against the infringing party. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing will not prevent Vargo from disclosing any information to any credit bureaux or as otherwise contemplated in these Terms or any Loan Agreement.
Disputes between Users and Third Parties
Private Dispute: Should a dispute arise between a user and any third party service provider, said dispute is between these parties exclusively. Vargo is not responsible for fulfilling any function in any way or engaging in the dispute in any way.
Notification: Notwithstanding the above, the user must inform Vargo of the dispute for Vargo to log the issues experienced, and to try assist both parties in whatever way it deems fit but is under no obligation to do so.
Termination of Use
In addition to our other rights herein, we reserve the right to:
- Restrict and/or terminate your use of our Platform and/or Services without notice if you breach any of these Terms or where there are reputational concerns; or
- For any other reason in our sole discretion provided that we give reasonable notice to you where reasonably practicable.
If you wish to terminate your agreement with these Terms, you may do so by closing your account and ending use of our Platform. Such termination will however not have any effect on the continued functioning or enforceability of any lawful rights which we may have at the time of such termination.
In the event of termination of your agreement with these Terms, we may remove (or disable) your account access to the Platform. For the avoidance of doubt, any termination of these Terms and/or removal of your access to the Platform will not terminate, affect or prejudice any Loan Agreement concluded between you and Vargo, and all rights and obligations under any such Loan Agreement will continue in full force and effect until fully discharged in accordance with its terms and applicable law (provided that your access to the Platform may be limited).

- in the case of the user, at the e-mail address, cell phone number, and/or physical address provided when registering with us.
Each of the parties will be entitled from time to time, by written notice to the other to vary its service address to any other address which is not a post office box or poste restante, provided that the change will become effective only 14 (fourteen) calendar days after service of the notice in question.
Notwithstanding the above, any notice given in writing in English, and actually received by the party to whom the notice is addressed, will be deemed to have been properly given and received, notwithstanding that such notice has not been given in accordance with this clause.
For the avoidance of doubt, in relation to any Loan Agreement concluded between the user and Vargo, the notices and service address provisions (including any chosen domicilium citandi et executandi and methods of delivery) set out in that Loan Agreement shall take precedence over, and shall apply in substitution for, this “Notices and Service Address” clause to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency.
