Customer reviews
This was my second time using an online loan service and this went much smoother. The timing was good for what I needed, though bank posting time is its own thing.
Mostly smooth from start to finish, with one small issue. The mobile pages were easy enough to use without pinching and zooming all over the place. Nothing major went wrong, there was just a little more waiting than I expected.
I was surprised by how straightforward the process felt. The timing was good for what I needed, though bank posting time is its own thing.
I had an unexpected expense come up and this was simple to work through. The payment schedule was the part I cared about most, and it was manageable for my budget. For an online process, it felt pretty human and not like I was just clicking into a black box.
This was my second time using an online loan service and this went much smoother. The application itself was simple and didn’t take forever. No long story here — it did what I needed it to do.
