Digital lending platforms in South Africa typically issue preliminary credit decisions within minutes of application submission. Exact approval times for Creditum should be verified on [creditum.co.za](https://creditum.co.za), as processing times can vary with application volume.

Late or missed repayments may result in: late payment charges as specified in your loan agreement; continued interest accrual on the outstanding balance; a negative listing at registered credit bureaux; and, after a prescribed period, referral to a registered debt collector or legal action. Contact Creditum before your due date if you anticipate difficulty making a payment.

Loan extension availability depends on Creditum's specific product terms. Contact the lender directly before your repayment date if you need to discuss a payment arrangement or deferral. Extensions typically increase the total cost of credit and should be used cautiously.
