Lamna is one of South Africa’s leading lenders against movable assets. We have over ten years of experience in asset-based lending.
Our loans are a straightforward alternative to bank loans, where red tape can make credit hard to access.
Our loans make it fast and easy to unlock the value of your truck, without having to selling it.
How a truck pawn loan works
To apply for a loan against a truck, send us some information about your truck such as the make, model, year and condition. We will then send you an initial loan offer.
After an in-person appraisal of your truck at one of our offices, we can finalise the offer, sign the agreement and send the funds directly to your account – usually within 24 hours.
We will securely store your truck for the duration of the loan until the outstanding amount and the interest – which is charged in line with NCR regulations – are repaid in full. Once the loan is repaid, your truck is returned to you. Your ownership of it is unaffected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR LOANS AGAINST TRUCKS
A truck pawn loan uses the resale value of your truck as collateral on a short-term loan. This is why an asset loan doesn’t require credit checks or employment history.
We accept all major truck brands that are available in South Africa. If your truck is paid off, registered in your name and in good condition, you can use it to get an asset loan.
