How borrowing works locally

Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments. Debt management plans are administered by accredited credit counsellors, and they are not loans.
