Our story

Money decisions deserve clarity.

RandLoom is an independent South African personal-finance education project. Our purpose is to make common financial topics easier to understand without hype or confusing jargon.

What we cover

We organise our guides into six areas: Saving & Budgeting, Investing, Credit & Loans, Insurance, Tax and Making Money. We focus on the concepts, comparisons and questions that help readers research their options.

Articles published as RandLoom Editorial are attributed to the publication, not to an unidentified licensed financial adviser. Read our author and attribution information.

Our editorial approach

We aim to verify important claims against relevant primary sources, including official regulators, tax authorities and providers. We aim to date information that can change, make examples understandable and correct material errors when identified.

Financial information changes. Articles should be checked for current rates, fees, limits, eligibility criteria and product terms before they are published.

How RandLoom may earn revenue

RandLoom is being developed as an advertising- and affiliate-supported publication. Future articles may contain links that pay us a commission if you choose to use a provider. We will label these relationships and aim to keep commercial arrangements separate from the explanation of risks and trade-offs.

What we do not provide

RandLoom does not provide personalised financial, tax or legal advice, and it is not presented as a licensed financial adviser. Readers should consider their own circumstances and consult appropriately qualified professionals when needed.
