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

Taking a masters loan from Lendwise helped me through a difficult time. With a reasonable interest and manageable payments I would recommend for masters student with little options for financing.

Amazing customer service

Within the first 2 minutes of my opening conversation with Andrea Marinic (personal mortgage advisor) I knew she was going to be fantastic at what she does. Not only was she professional but also extremely personable making my experience with our mortgage super easy and stress free. I worked with Andrea over the course of a couple of weeks and during that time she was always quick and thorough to respond. I was overall very happy with our new mortgage rate and I look forward to working with Lendwise in the future.

Better than Prodigy!

Super helpful team, great customer service. Lendwise was able to provide me with a loan when Prodigy could not. Thank you!

The service was flawless from start to finish and the team were always so helpful, ready to pick up the phone and answer any queries or concerns I had in a heartbeat. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They made a potentially very stressful process actually quite the opposite!

Incredible Service

I applied for a loan and heard back within a day. The quality and speed of service is simply incredible. I am lost for words at how caring and professional everyone I have dealt with has been, and I am so happy to have found Lendwise. I honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Great company

I used Lendwise to fund a postgraduate course and they were easy to use. They were fair and are one of the best lending companies around.

They were so understanding regarding when I would like to start paying back and this meant less stress during the course regarding money.

Thank you for all your help!

Lendwise helped make my MBA possible

I used Lendwise to help fund my MBA. There is a real gap in the market for good post graduate degree funding and Lendwise have filled this space nicely. Not having to pay back instalments whilst you learn is a very attractive structure and the loan pricing is very reasonable given this flexibility (much cheaper than some of the other offers I was given). The support team were very helpful and the online application process was easy to complete. The whole process was completed in about 2 weeks. In all, I would definitely recommend them.

Feedback

When applying for my masters abroad, it was a very stressful time. I was unable to financially meet my target on my own and therefore, was under the impression that I might have to defer. However, thankfully, only weeks before I came across Lendwise! They were helpful, understanding and tried to fast track my application as much as possible so I could receive payments on time. Could not recommend this company more!

Real people not just about money making.

I needed a loan to pay an unexpected excess for student fees. This was sorted out quickly and easily. In the end the university backed down and reduced the fees to the original level meaning I didn’t need the loan. The staff member I spoke to when I cancelled the loan was genuinely happy for me when I told him that I would not be needed the loan after all. Everyone in the company was great really about helping rather than just wanting to make money.
