TUGELA CONNECT BOOST

Empowering Traders. Strengthening Communities

About Us

Tugela Connect Boost is the dedicated financial services arm of Tugela Connect - created to provide responsible, accessible, and affordable credit solutions to our traders and community members.

Led by CEO Corman Vos, Tugela Connect Boost operates with full independence and will hold its own NCR (National Credit Regulator) licence, allowing it to supply compliant credit products designed for the realities of low-income and informal markets

We exist to help traders grow, support families, and build financially stronger communities.

  • Stock support loans
  • Emergency member loans
  • Credit-builder products
  • Affordable repayment structures
  • Instant wallet-based disbursements
