About Specsfin

Specsfin offers credit for eyewear in South Africa, with six-month payment plans and no upfront cost. Patients visit an associated optometrist, who examines their eyes and helps them apply online for a Specsfin loan inside the practice.

Specsfin runs its standard assessment and issues a provisional approval when an application meets its criteria, and patients collect their glasses once the first payment is received. Optometrists join through an Optometrist Zone and follow a code of conduct, and borrowers manage loans in a portal. Specsfin was founded in South Africa in 2024.
