3 to 6 months, built around your budget — not ours.
Every balance, payment and order — from your phone or browser.
SMS and app alerts before every payment is due.

Progress built from how you pay — pay on time, unlock higher limits.
256-bit SSL and PCI-DSS compliant, always.
Enter a product price and pick your term to see how your payments break down. No interest. No surprise fees. Your DuelaPay price is shown upfront.
Entry: clothing, uniforms, small appliances. Standard: electronics, mid-range furniture. Premium: large furniture, high-value electronics.
Your DuelaPay price is a little higher than the cash price because it includes plan protection, payment convenience and rewards — shown in full before you start, never increased after. Deposit reserved on day one, remaining balance split equally over your term, 0% interest always. Higher-tier shoppers may unlock an extra month.
No paperwork. No long forms. No waiting. Create your account and start shopping the same day.
Sign up in under 2 minutes with your name, phone number and SA ID number. On WhatsApp, that's as easy as a photo of your ID and a quick selfie — no bank statements, no credit checks, ever.
Browse our growing network of SA partner merchants — fashion, electronics, home goods, baby items and more. Shop online or walk in-store.
Tap the DuelaPay price, pay your 25% deposit to reserve the item, and pay the rest over time — zero interest, on your schedule.
Missing a payment isn't the end of your plan. Pay well and climb the tiers, and you earn real remedial options to put things right — well before you'd ever need to cancel.
Your Duela Score runs from 0 to 1,000 — built from your own payment history, not a bank's opinion of you. It's yours, and it travels with you.
Drag the slider to see what each tier unlocks. On-time payments move you up — and, with your consent, can build toward a formal credit record.
DuelaPay was built right here in South Africa, for South Africans who are tired of predatory credit, steep interest rates, and feeling locked out of the things they deserve.
Every rand you pay sits in a custodial account at our partner bank — legally separate from DuelaPay's own funds. The merchant is paid progressively as your plan moves forward, based on their track record with us — never a lump sum against stock they haven't delivered.
Sometimes plans change. Duela gives you clear options before your plan is closed. If you choose to cancel, we show you the refund amount before you confirm. If you miss payments, we remind you and give you time to fix the plan before anything else happens.
You can cancel your plan any time before it's complete. We show you the exact refund amount before you confirm — a 1% cancellation fee applies, and the rest is refunded within 7 business days.
Example: You paid R3,150.
Cancellation fee (1%): R31.50
Refund amount: R3,118.50
No surprises — you confirm before anything happens.
Abandonment is different from cancelling. It only happens when a plan has been unpaid for a long time and we can't reach you, even after repeated reminders and chances to catch up, restructure, claim your Duela Protect benefit (Learn more →), or cancel properly.
We don't want anyone to lose progress just because life got busy. Abandonment only applies in extreme cases — if it happens, the item goes back to the merchant and an abandonment fee may apply before the rest is refunded to you.
DuelaPay works wherever you are — on a smartphone, a feature phone, or standing in line at the till.
"The old lay-by made you feel like you were doing something shameful. Digital lay-by makes it feel like you're being smart."
"I used to take three taxis just to pay my layby. Now I pay from my phone on payday. My money's protected, and my score is finally building into something."
"I pay from my phone between customers at work. No more taking time off just to make a payment. Good week or bad week, the plan just tracks my balance."
It takes under 2 minutes. No credit check, no bank statements, no fees — ever.
Thousands of South Africans are already shopping smarter — zero interest, no credit check, completely on their terms.
