Our verdict

ExpressCredit lends personal and payday loans in Lesotho, aimed squarely at permanent Government employees who need cash quickly. An APR of 36% and fees that sit on the Government loan make it one of the costlier options on the board, though the same day funding and a Central Bank of Lesotho licence are real positives.
