Repayment and consumer protections

- Do not pay an upfront fee for a promised loan.
- Compare APR, payment schedule and total repayment for any lawful alternative.

I had an unexpected expense come up and this was simple to work through. I’d use the same online process again if I actually needed it.

I had an unexpected expense come up and this was simple to work through. My bank connection did not work the first time, but retrying later fixed it. For an online process, it felt pretty human and not like I was just clicking into a black box.

I had an unexpected expense come up and this was simple to work through. I’ve used a similar service before, so I knew what to watch for, and this one felt less confusing.
