What our clients say

What people say, in their own words.

Kobus Van Staden, CEO
I honestly have NO WORDS to describe the absolute PLEASURE it has been to deal with you. You’re nothing but a beacon of hope in a swamp of poor service. You can certainly take it from me, you can with absolute peace of mind recommend Empower Funding. Same day service from financial institutions these days is unheard of.

Kobus Van Staden, CEO

Going beyond
The process was much easier. Gal [Empower’s CEO] looks for ways to make the deal work, and isn’t limited by office hours.

Erik Peers

From our clients
I wish to express in writing the outstanding service I have received from Empower Funding against the proceeds of my property. This is the 4th property I have sold in the past two years and your firm is the most lenient, courteous and cheapest of any bridging company in South Africa. Within 48 hours {of first contact} I received my advance in my account. Anyone in my position should only make use of your firm, the fact speaks for itself. Thank you, thank you!

Expectations
Service level exceeds customer expectations.

Ruben Bhagwandeen, Agent

Second to none
As agents that have done bridging before and also thoroughly researched all the various bridging finance companies, as well as used several previously, we hereby wish to commend and highly recommend Empower Funding. They are genuinely second to none in terms of their response, feedback, processing, turnaround times, payment turnaround, service and most importantly their rates! They truly offer the best service and offering and their service includes personal interaction and response from the Managing Director.... And for us personally, if an MD can personally assist and interact, this company is definitely a WINNER!

Imo Amoo & Zakira Hajee, Agents

Honest and reliable
What an amazing team at Empower Funding! After looking for a bridging company for months that would help us, Empower Funding went over and above to assist. If you’re looking for an honest and reliable company with an interest rate of next to nothing, Empower Funding is the only way to go, hands-on from the consultant I worked with to the MD Gal Ezra.

Venessa Johnson, seller

Available 24/7
Working with Gal A. Ezra, Managing Director of Empower Funding, is an exceptional and successful business relationship. Gal is available 24/7 for his clients. I’ve never experienced such 100% honesty and crystal clear transparency in the financial industry, the best trust-building ever. The business fees are more than fair and the transaction is very fast. Looking forward to working with Empower Funding again in the future. A big thank you to Andelene Greyling and Gal Ezra.

Wayne Hendra

Help in a desperate situation
What a great company to work with! I was in desperate need of bridging finance and no one wanted to help in the circumstances. I stumbled across Empower Funding and Gal was amazing in helping me out of a desperate situation! Thank you so much for arranging the bridging finance. The part was that the interest did not break the bank, even when I went over the initial loan period! I can definitely recommend Empower Funding.

Martha Choolwe Banda

They deliver on their promises
Just needed to share my 1st experience with Empower Funding. I needed bridging during lockdown, but needed to transact digitally, they were the only company that could accommodate this need. Empower handled everything perfectly, best rates and best service. Definitely can recommend their services. They deliver on their promises.

Graham Geddie

Extreme efficiency
My contact person was Andelene and I was pleasantly surprised at the extreme efficiency of how they worked. The process was quick and the funds were paid into my account. The biggest surprise of all was the lending rate of well below any of the large banks. I still cannot understand how they charge such an extremely reasonable rate. I highly recommend Gal Ezra and his very efficient team any day of the week and they have my permission for anyone to contact me.

Nick Davel
