What is DebiCheck?
DebiCheck is a process where you give permission for a debit order to go off your bank account for monthly loan payments. It also helps FinChoice verify your bank details for secure transactions.
How to Accept DebiCheck:
- Log into your FinChoice account
- Go to the loan status section
- Click to accept your DebiCheck mandate
- Confirm with your bank via SMS or banking app
- Your status updates automatically

Sometimes applications take longer than expected. Here’s what might cause delays and what you can do:
Common Reasons for Delays:
- Missing Documents: Payslips or bank statements not uploaded
- Unclear Documents: Photos are blurry or information can’t be read
- DebiCheck Not Accepted: Mandate still waiting for your approval
- Credit Checks: Additional verification needed with credit bureaus
