Genfin Business Finance

Registration and Regulatory Status

Genfin is a registered credit provider under the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 (NCA), supervised by the National Credit Regulator (NCR). All South African credit providers extending business credit above the NCA threshold must hold valid NCR registration.

How to verify Genfin's NCR registration — step by step:

1. Go to the official NCR Register of Registrants: https://www.ncr.org.za/register_of_registrants/registered_cp.php
2. In the search box, type "Genfin" or the full legal entity name.
3. Confirm the status shown is "Registered" and that the registration number matches the one displayed on Genfin's own website footer.
4. Cross-check the registered address with the Cape Town office address listed below.
5. If any detail differs, contact the NCR directly at 0860 627 627 before proceeding with an application.
