Pricing and Access to Consumer Credit: A review of the impact of the National Credit Act one year after its implementation

Description

A little more than a year after the implementation of the National Credit Act (NCA) in June 2007, FEASIBILITY conducted research for the National Credit Regulator (NCR) on the impact the NCA
was having on the granting of consumer credit.

Particular attention was paid to pricing and access issues. The resulting research involved surveys, interviews, quotations from mystery shoppers and desktop research. An important part of the
research involved a survey of 59 of the country’s main providers of consumer credit. By the end of June 2008 they had provided over a trillion rand of credit.
