Many people appreciate the competitive rates and flexible repayment options, which have helped them consolidate debt and improve their financial situation.

Keep the Happy Coming!

This is my second loan over the last eight years or so. The process was once again fantastic and the terms were competitive with the banks. My loan funded in less than a week and the consolidated accounts were paid shortly thereafter. I have strong credit, but I know another person with less than perfect credit testify to having a similar experience as me! This is a great company!

Happy, Happy Customer

Application was easy! Money deposited into my account quickly! Credit card debt paid in the time told! I’m totally happy! I highly recommend this company! I’m only sorry that I can’t take another loan out for the balance of my debt! The first loan must be paid off before a 2nd loan can be taken out!

Was very surprised that I received my loan with &1000 missing. Paperwork did not say anything about that high of a fee. Should have been upfront about that. Thanks

Thank you for your feedback. The origination fee is disclosed in your loan documents prior to e-signing and is available on our website, it is a small percentage of the total loan amount requested (0.25%–10% depending on the loan amount and term chosen), deducted before funds are deposited. If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Member Experience team.

This was truly a blessing. I’m so happy this company had faith in me. Now I see an end goal and a solid way out of high interest credit card debt that wouldn’t go away. Thank you happy Monday

Thankful

I was impressed and thankful for the opportunity to aquire a loan from Happy Money to pay off high interest rate credit cards .For many years I was paying more than the required monthly payment and always 2 weeks ahead of scheduled time . There was very little impact to my balances due to the high rates. A few times I had financial situations where I had to use my credit cards ,therefore my balances increased and so did the interest charges. The cycle was relentless and frustrating. I will have extra money to pay towards my monthly payment now .I will be able to pay my loan in less time. That is great!

For the online experience it was great

For the online experience it was great. Took a bit longer than I thought but since I'm used to doing everything in person this was a better than I thought.
Took about a week going back and forth but I would consider it a great week. I have paid off my CC's and all is good. I would at this point recommend Happy Money for a great experience.

I’m very happy with the ease of obtaining this loan. The interest is low. The payment is low and the fact I received the money within three days is unbelievable. So happy to deal with happy money loans which helped me pay the ridiculous high interest rate credit cards that were keeping me from achieving my now current over 700 credit score. Thank you so much!!!

My experience was positive from beginning to end. The process was simple to follow, the communication was excellent, and they provided target dates and delivered on them. The rate I was given was a fair one. I love that the lender is a non-profit with a mission to help folks struggling with debt . They called after everything was disbursed to make sure I was satisfied. Highly recommended!

The process to receive the funds I needed to consolidate my credit cards was easy. This loan saved me about 200.00 a month. Thank you for giving me an opportunity as life was becoming a financial burden.

They Don't Care About You...

We're in an era of enormous change, with the internet, social media, and products that try to scam you out of your hard-earned money. I've worked hard to raise my credit scores by paying down my credit card debt, even though I was paying more in interest than in principal. I took a HUGE chance to apply for a low-interest personal loan with Happy Money. I was approved and am now paying 14.89 percent rather than 26.8 percent on credit card interest. I use the extra cash to invest REITS, ETF's, and emergency funds.

The process was very easy

The process was very easy, issue I had was cost was misleading, I understand companies need to make money. I am not opposed to it, I would had preferred to know beforehand this way it would've helped with requesting a different amount to cover what I was meaning to cover
