Credizen operates as an independent comparison service. We are not a lender. We earn commissions when users successfully obtain loans through our platform, but this never affects our recommendations.
Our AI matching system is designed to prioritize your best interests:
- We only list registered lenders verified by the National Credit Regulator (NCR)
- Our algorithm weighs affordability and approval likelihood more heavily than commission rates
- We clearly disclose all costs, fees, and typical APRs for every loan product
- We never sell your personal data to third parties
