WHAT DOES NCFA DO?

NCFA’s mission is to help individuals and families achieve financial wellbeing through effective credit and debt counselling, helping consumers find debt repayment alternatives, and making credit education available to all.

This education is primarily centred around consumer rights, successfully handling debt obligations, personal money management, and the wise use of credit.

NCFA also advocates for a fair and nondiscriminatory market place, for access to consumer credit, and promotes responsible credit granting and credit use, and effective redress.

For example, with the current Consumer Credit Bill out for comment, NCFA have been actively involved in helping bring various parties to the table, sourcing comments and submitting suggestions for refining the Bill. In particular, members are hoping to see the re-inclusion of credit counselling into the Bill as this can offer many stressed consumers a dignified solution to dealing with their debt.

NCFA members have already helped a record number of Namibians, assisting close to 27,000 clients through one-on-one counselling. NCFA members have already made a significant impact on the economy with clients already having repaid over N$ 15 million in debt.

NCFA members have also hosted nearly 720 community education workshops and webinars across Namibia.

The National Consumer Finance Association of Namibia is the first (and only) credit counselling Association in Namibia.
