Thanks, Terence! Being denied by your own bank doesn't have to be the end of the road. Really pleased we could match you with a lender who saw things differently. That's what we're here for.

Hi Phillimon,

Thank you for the feedback. Please note that Arcadia Finance is a loan comparison service and we do not handle payouts. All disbursements are managed solely by the lender. We'd recommend contacting your lender directly regarding the delay.

Hi Adriaan,

Thank you for the honest feedback. We understand the concern. Please note that our marketing emails are sent broadly and we are not always aware of a recipient's current debt status. If you are under debt review, we'd recommend unsubscribing from our emails to avoid any confusion. Applying for additional credit while under debt review is generally not advisable and would not be approved by lenders.

Hi Mosioua,

Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear you haven't been successful with your applications. Eligibility is determined by the lenders based on their own criteria, and unfortunately this is not something Arcadia Finance has control over. It may be worth checking your credit profile to understand what could be affecting your applications.
