01 — The assessmentWhat has been assessed

Application open. One of six criteria met, five outstanding. No status is granted until the evidence is produced.

Scope: The six published practitioner criteria. One is met; five await evidence from the applicant. · Methodology version 1.0 · Checked 17 September 2026

Established

  • A public profile. A live profile carrying the name, location, role and the conflict of interest is published at /authors/wes-thomson and was confirmed on 17 September 2026.

Not established

  • Identity. No identity document has been produced to the Association, so the name on this listing has not been confirmed against identification.
  • Required training. No record of completed training covering the arrangements presented, the boundaries of the role and what may be said to a prospective lender has been produced.
  • Applicable assessment. No assessment result has been produced, and the Association has not established whether the relevant programme sets one.
  • Standing. No declaration of open disciplinary process, adverse finding or matter requiring withdrawal has been made or checked.
  • A current agreement. The applicant is the proprietor of ProLend, which trades as a sole proprietorship and so has no legal personality separate from him — he cannot contract with himself. The criterion is therefore met, if at all, under the principal pathway adopted as methodology version 1.1: the organisation's registration evidence, a personal undertaking to the code of conduct, and publication that no third-party agreement governs him. None of the three has yet been produced.

This record describes an incomplete application on a date. It is not a verification, confers nothing, and must not be described or displayed as one.

02 — Reading this recordWhat a listing here does and does not mean

A listing is not a recommendation, an approval, a licence or a view on whether this person is suitable for you. It is a dated record of who somebody is and what role they play, published so that a reader can check something rather than nothing. Recognition is the separate process that assesses a person against published criteria, and this record will say so plainly if one is ever granted.

The Private Lending Association of South Africa is a voluntary industry association. It is not a regulator, a government body or a financial services provider. If something on this page is wrong, write to editor@privatelendingassociation.co.za and it will be corrected. To raise conduct rather than accuracy, use the complaints procedure — which is free, and open to anyone.
