NOT what it seemed

While the rategenius reps were great, the overall experience was not what it seemed. I chose to use rategenius for my recent auto refinance so I could do it online. However, in reality very little of it was actually completed online - not only were the rates and details all quoted over the phone, but the application itself had to be done all via mail. It was a pain to have to go back and forth to UPS to have to get this done. If I thought anything would need to be done in person, I would've just gone to my local credit union directly! Beware, they are not what they seem.

Very misleading ads

Very misleading. I received ad in mail directed to me personally that they could reduce my APR two points on the car I purchased, but after completing their forms they told me they couldn't reduce my loan rate as advertised. I wasted two hours giving them my info. Very untrustworthy advertising. My credit rating is as good as it gets, they just can't deliver their info they purport in their ads. Don't waste your time.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback. Unfortunately, the pre approval rates are based on very limited information and our network of lenders look at everything more in depth when providing the approval. Please feel free to give us a call at 877-298-8576 if you would like a little more insight to the process, as we want to be sure that all of our customers are satisfied. Thank you for choosing Rategenius!

I contacted RateGenius again to refinance auto loan

I contacted RateGenius again to refinance my auto loan with a different bank. The agent processed all my documents, initiated a credit check, and then went silent for almost two weeks. After I called a support line, I found out there was no way I could refinance the same Car a second time with RateGenius which the agent failed to explain and check before even starting the process. As a result, I have another hard pull on my credit history and will have to do that again to refinance my loan with another company. This is terrible customer service!

UPDATE:
RateGenius replied to this review and asked me to call back and resolve the issue. But the funny thing is that every call on this phone number goes directly to voice mail and they never call back!

UPDATE 2:

Apparently, it was a rate RateGenius policy where they do not refinance the same vehicle multiple times. Be aware of this quirk. But on the positive side, I did talk to them again and they helped me out with a different company that provides the same services.

Awesome Experience

I was skeptical at first to apply for a refinance on my auto loan because I have been rejected so many times. I was pleasantly surprised that I was approved and with a great rate and a much lower payment. The process was easy and Adrian my direct representative was always available and answered every question I had. I would definitely recommend.

Ann was wonderful to work with

Ann was wonderful to work with! I originally went on a whim to see if I could obtain a lower rate since my interest seemed high for my vehicle. I was able to obtain a lower rate and the customer service she gave was superb!!

Ann with Rate Genius reached out to me right away and found a lower interest rate than I was originally pre approved for. My document situation was messy because I had just moved and had differing addresses on documents. Ann was patient and understanding with me. Thank you so much!

Overall I was pleased with Rategenius

Overall I was pleased with Rategenius. The reps I spoke with were polite, professional, and helpful. They got me a great rate on my auto loan considering the times we’re in and the application process was fairly easy. It did take longer than expected to complete and a little frustrating when waiting days for an update from the loan rep, but in the end all is good.
