Great experience

My experience with Lendwise was very smooth and reassuring from start to finish. The application process was clear, well-structured, and much faster than I expected for an education loan.

What really stood out was the responsiveness and professionalism of the team. They were always available to answer questions, explained everything in simple terms, and guided me step by step without pressure. This made a stressful process feel much more manageable.

Lendwise is doing a great job supporting students who want to invest in their education, especially for international programs. Transparent communication, efficient processing, and a genuinely supportive approach! I would confidently recommend them to anyone considering an education loan.

Fantastic support

Outstanding experience, fantastic and very responsive customer service.

I obtained an MBA tuition fee loan and the process was simple. They also later helped add on a maintenance support loan as a second loan.

Surprised to see that their rating isn't 5/5 all round - my experience has been great.

Horrible service

Horrible service. They treat you like a criminal. And as if that weren’t enough, they keep calling at 2–4 a.m., even after I’ve repeatedly told them I live in a different time zone. They even complain when you make overpayments and offer no support whatsoever. I wish I had chosen Prodigy instead

Glad we’ve resolved this. Apologies again for the timing oversight. Regarding the checks: as a regulated firm, strict AML compliance is vital for safety, but we never meant to offend. Thanks for your understanding.

Truly Supportive and Personalized Service

Lendwise’s support was essential in helping me feel at ease during one of the most important steps of my MBA journey: financing. As a first-generation student, this entire process was new to me, and the Lendwise team played a key role in building a proposal that worked for both sides. They were always patient with my questions and went the extra mile to tailor the loan to my circumstances. I truly wish the best for the company and will always be grateful for having realized a dream with the support of such a thoughtful partner.

Best Student Loan provider

My experience with lendwise has been the best experience i ever had with any financial institution. Starting from education loan application, approval, credit of loan, payments and loan closure, it has been smooth and great journey for me. The team provided right information at right times. I didn't have to spend extra time in paper works or chasing like one does with some banks.

Would recommend

Lendwise were able to provide me with a loan allowing me to pursue a Masters when I was unable to secure funding from banks. This is a great service for those looking to do an MBA, as they take a holistic view on your application.

I found their service efficient and staff were very helpful whenever I contacted them, pre and post drawing down the loan. I would highly recommend.

Excellent and Trustworthy Service

Lendwise enabled me to achieve the next step in my career and for that I am extremely grateful.

After completing my doctorate I accepted a position in New York but the cost of a move to the US was extraordinary; I wasn't sure that my savings would cover it. A traditional bank (even those I'd banked with for a decade) wouldn't provide a loan based on future income, which was frustrating, but Lendwise understood the situation and offered me a loan. The loan included an origination fee, which I thought was fair and proportionate. They also ensured that my first repayment was after my first payday.

Although the repayments were scheduled over two years, I was frugal and repaid the loan within three months. Early repayments were simple and had no associated fees, allowing me to reduce the cost of interest. Communications with the Lendwise team were always friendly, understanding and professional. I got the impression that they want to help people progress, which is totally unique when it comes to lenders.

In summary, Lendwise helped me to achieve a dream step in my career when traditional banks wouldn't. Their fees are incredibly fair, and their customer service is excellent. I would take another loan with Lendwise in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking to bridge a temporary gap in their career or education.
