Great client servicing from everybody I contacted: Ella, Kiran Sarwar and Elpida. All really kind and Kiran was really assertive and fast with helping me.

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... See more

Transparent, easy and very responsive customer service

Lendwise loan application process is very slick and transparent. The customer support team is very responsive and easier to reach by email, chat or phone. Special thanks to Ms.Victoria who has been very responsive, attentive and careful when responding to emails with detailed and pertinent replies.

Great Place to Fund Your MBA/MFin- Swift, efficient and flexible.

I am pursuing an MFin at University of Cambridge in 2022 and I have liaised with Lendwise to support my contribution towards the fees. From the beginning of my journey to obtain the finance, every aspect of the customer service has been flawless and efficient and I can honestly recommend Lendwise as a provider of graduate study finance.

The customer service is responding practically instantly and is able to respond promptly to even sophisticated questions regarding the finance or the application process.

The document review process swift and do not include anything that would seem unreasonable.

Finally, the company is trustworthy and charge funding rates that are in line with the market with supportive credit terms (repayment periods etc), and do so with adequate flexibility to accommodate timing of drawing down the funds.

Altogether there is really not a step in the journey that would appear cumbersome or unreasonable, and whenever needed, the support provided is great.

The loan process was a bit long

The loan process was a bit long, and bit of stressful for me, but at the end I got it. I would like to say a big thank you to Victoria, who always helped me when I had questions. She was kind and helpful every time when I made a phone call. This was the best customer service experience what I have ever got. She is “Legend” :) Thank you.

I had the best customer experience with email responses and loan approval.

I had the best customer experience with Lendwise; from loan application to closing off my loan account after settling the loaned amount.
Lendwise Team responds to email queries on the same day, and it is done by humans, which was the best highlight for me. Keep it up!
Thank you very much for your services.

Good Student Loan Option

I came across lendwise when looking at options for paying for my masters. I'm so glad I did. They were very flexible when it came to providing a loan, taking my work and living circumstances into account. I received a loan at a very competitive interest rate and with total flexibility on paying back. Would definitely recommend.

Why Lendwise is the best option for…

Why Lendwise is the best option for Indian Students in UK:
- No currency risk (disbursement in £ and not $ as is the case with the likes of Prodigy)
- Credit underwriting is human driven and not faceless, algorithm driven (like Prodigy again!). Higher quality decisions as a result
- Do not discriminate basis age, existing financial obligations
- Welcome students pursuing courses in the UK (again unlike Prodigy which has US focus)
- Reasonable interest costs (unlike some local UK lenders)
- Offer unsecured loans (resolves challenges for many Indian parents who do not have security to offer)
- No hidden costs / traps
- Flexibility to repay part / full without charges
- Excellent operational management

I would strongly recommend any Indian student looking at a course in the UK to consider Lendwise as their first lending option.

Great masters funding option

Lendwise customer [borrower] service is really excellent. There were multiple changes to my initial loan application that I needed to make (such as readjusting the loan amount because of a scholarship or masters course change), and each time Lendwise accommodated in a timely and professional manner.

Really responsive and helpful

Lendwise helped me secure 2 student loans when all other doors closed. They were always very responsive and able to tailor their products to my needs.
I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to self-fund further education.

Great job Lendwise Mortgage!

I have dealt with Lendwise Mortgage twice now. I deal with a gentleman by the name Cristian Cal, he has been an amazing person to deal with, and we are always offered an amazing rate. They are right on top of all information.

Lendwise made my dreams come true!

Thank you very much Lendwise for the education loan which helped me to study at INSEAD business school.

Even though I am based in New Zealand but I had an amazing experience overall including the application process which was very fast and easy. I was also impressed with the Lendwise team who are prompt in answering the queries.

Definitely, I will recommend Lendwise to all the students for financing their studies.

Brilliant Team

I found the whole process of borrowing with Lendwise to be by far the best value and most straightforward for an Irish Student moving to study in the UK. Their customer service was absolutely brilliant in particular Victoria who was a great help to me throughout the application. Couldn’t recommend them more.

The service was always very responsive

The service was always very responsive. They were helpful in all my needs and their communication was clear and concise. The only issue I had is that I had to create a bank account from UK or a EU bank, but due to constraints from my country and the covid situation it kind of affected me, and I could not open a bank account, and I wouldn't know how it would work for the future. I would have chosen Lendwise for sure but mainly due to some paper I was waiting from a Colombian institution I was been affected.
