Meerkat

Meerkat was established in 2016. Founder David O’Brien has spent more than two decades in the insurance industry.

According to recent studies, most households in South Africa only have a quarter of their income left over for essentials at the end of each month, after having paid their monthly obligations. Meerkat wants to turn the tide by helping people like you regain control over your finances.

As a qualified actuary, O’Brien became increasingly concerned about the restricted choices South Africans have when it comes to financial services.

His objective with Meerkat is to offer ordinary citizens a helping hand by partnering with them in their financial wellness journey. The Meerkat team is passionate about debt reduction and enabling clients to prepare for financial emergencies.

When it comes to matters of finance, Meerkat knows that managing your money is a challenging affair.

They’ve designed a service package that takes the sting out of financial challenges and gets you firmly back on the road to financial health.

Money matters made easy

Top of their list of services is their debt review program with its main objective of making your finances easier to manage. If you spend the best half of your monthly income on debt repayments, you know how quickly your finances can get out of control. Regaining that control is extremely difficult. You need to take decisive action.

If you have very little money left for other expenses it is easy to fall into a trap of creating more debt to manage your current debt. When you feel there’s no way out, Meerkat’s ready to come to your rescue. Their debt review service offers you a hassle-free way to regain control of your finances.

Entering the protective cocoon of debt review

They take ownership of your debt, protecting you against losing your assets. You also don’t need to engage with those threatening phone calls, summonses, or judgments, as they act on your behalf. When you submit to the debt review process, your credit profile is flagged until you’ve fully adhered to your debt consolidation loan terms.

What’s the objective of debt review?

The aim of debt review is to restructure all your repayments into a single, cheaper monthly amount. The process comprises extending the terms of your credit loans and lowering interest rates.

When you consolidate your debt, you’ll only have one large loan to repay each month. This loan will repay a number of your debts simultaneously until you have cleared all those outstanding accounts.

Although it might feel like your world’s crumbling if you go into debt review, it’s the surest and most cost-effective and sustainable way to clear your credit profile. A great added feature to protect you in the case of retrenchment is the Meerkat Salary Protection Plan which takes care of your debt loan repayments when you can’t.
