ORIGINS

Founded around 2007 by uncle G - Carfin's services were rooted in empathy. In the pre-2010 world cup era, during economic strain, Carfin's refinancing options were launched. Centred around the client - refinancing was created so South Africans wouldn't lose their vehicles to debt. It enabled clients to reduce their premiums or limit their exposure - a relief product for financially stretched vehicle owners.

The compassion and client centric approach was nothing less than refreshing. With south african customer service dying, failing public transport and an auto industry plagued with dodgy dealers and complicated contracts - Carfin stepped in providing South Africans with a safe, simple, transparent and fast way to access vehicle financing.

BASTION OF INDUSTRY

Uncle George pioneered the use of technology to simplify the application and negotiation processes. He combined this with thouroughly trained experts to provide the heightest level of service. To this day, Carfin leads the pack acting as Bastion for it's clients. Carfin's systems allow clients to complete applications within seconds. On the backend its experts are hard at work fighting the banks against eachother to the best offers for its clients.

WHO WE ARE

Carfin now stands strong as one of SA's premier approved finance brokers. With over 20 years of connecting buyers to multiple lenders, Carfin has rescued & secured more than 14 000 competitive deals.

Part of Carfin's foundation is ensuring that all South Africans, not just customers, can access the truth about vehicle financing. Educating one's self is the first step of prevention. Carfin writes the truth about financing in clear, easy to understand articles to ensure the non-specialists know what the they're signing up for.
