Atlas Finance is looking for a Branch Manager to run one of its KwaZulu-Natal branches. This is a permanent, full-time role for someone who knows micro lending from the inside: helping clients apply for credit, keeping collections on track, and making sure every loan file meets the rules. Applications close on 9 November 2026.
About the company and the work
Atlas Finance is a micro finance business. Its branches help clients apply for credit loans, and the branch team is responsible for the whole journey, from the first conversation with a customer to keeping repayments on track. The Branch Manager sits at the centre of that work: promoting the branch’s credit offering, supporting customers through their applications, and keeping the branch’s records, housekeeping and service standards in good order.
The role suits a manager who is comfortable with targets and with people in equal measure. You will spend your days with customers, with your team and with the numbers, and the branch’s performance will rest on how well those three things come together.
Role details and duties
The purpose of the role is to promote, assist and enable clients to apply for credit loans, ensuring that these loan applications meet all credit granting regulatory and policy compliance requirements. The key responsibilities stated in the original listing are:
- Meeting monthly loan application sales targets by promoting credit loans and assisting customers with their applications.
- Meeting monthly collections targets by actioning company procedures and instructions for collections.
- Accurately updating and maintaining records, and keeping branch housekeeping standards tidy and up to date.
- Providing a professional and friendly service to all internal and external customers at all times.
The listing also states that preference will be given to equity candidates, naming African Male, White Male and White Female candidates.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original listing are summarised here:
- Minimum: Grade 12.
- Certificate or Diploma in Micro Lending Frontline Service (NQF Level 3).
- Two years of experience in the micro finance industry.
- Mathematical Literacy.
The original advert does not state an experience level, so none is shown for this post.
Where to find and apply safely

Practical tips
- Show your micro lending experience clearly, including the branches or portfolios you have run and the targets you met.
- Give examples of both sides of the job: growing loan applications and keeping collections on track.
- Highlight your record-keeping and compliance work, since every application must meet credit granting rules.
- Mention your Micro Lending Frontline Service qualification and your Mathematical Literacy upfront, as both are stated requirements.
- Keep your CV short, with your qualification and micro finance experience first.
