THE GETBITCOINLOANS STORY
We started GetBitcoinLoans to give South Africans a way to unlock the value in their bitcoin without selling it: to borrow rand against it, fast, fair, and fully verifiable. Here's how we got here.
HOW WE DO THINGS
1We do right by you
Every call starts with what's fair to you, not what's easy for us.
That means telling you straight, even when it's not what you were hoping to hear, and it means we'd rather lose a loan than put you in one that isn't right for you.
2The fridge door test
We have one test for every decision we make: are we happy for you to see it on the fridge door? If not, we don't do it.
So nothing about your loan is hidden from you. Your costs, your collateral, and how it all works are open to you, and anything we tell you, you can check for yourself.
3We keep it simple
Every extra step or bit of jargon is one more thing for you to worry about, so we cut it.
A loan you fully understand is a loan you can trust. We'd rather explain something twice than bury it in fine print, and if a feature doesn't make your life easier, it doesn't make the cut.
Like many good stories, this one starts with a simple problem.
You believe in bitcoin, so you hold it. But life happens in rand - a deposit, a tax bill, a chance you don't want to miss. Selling means giving up your upside and triggering a taxable event.
So we built the thing we wanted ourselves: borrow the rand you need, keep every sat, and get your bitcoin back when you repay. Simple, secure, and built for South Africa.
