About SoLo Funds

Written by the company

SoLo is the leading community finance platform focused on working class communities. Our members borrow on their own terms and lend to make industry leading returns or a social impact.

SoLo has over +3 million users, +2 million loans funded with 82% of its members being from underserved zip codes. As one of the few certified Benefit Corporations in financial services, SoLo has emerged as the new financial service leader on pace to deliver $1B back into working class communities by Q1 ‘26.

The traditional financial system has failed our communities, excluding them from returns and access to short term cash. SoLo created something different, something more human. They went back to the basics, creating a community where people could support each other financially. SoLo calls this community finance.

Hello,

We understand our model does not follow traditional lending models as we wanted something different, something more human. So we are happy to provide some additional information regarding the loan funding process.

Once a Borrower submits a loan request to the Marketplace, it will then need to be accepted to be funded by a Lender (a user on the app such as yourself). This time period of waiting for your loan to be accepted can vary in time. However, when a loan is accepted to be funded by a Lender and both parties agree on the terms, it takes only minutes for the funds to be deposited into the Borrower's SoLo wallet.

Here are a few points to keep in mind:
1. Funding a loan request is up to the discretion of individual lending members. Borrowing members choose how much and when they pay, including if they want to add an optional tip to the lending member or donation to SoLo. Borrowing members have 100% optionality and control over the terms of their loan, and any amount paid in addition to the loan principal is voluntary. Electing not to tip or donate has no impact on a member’s ability to request a loan, nor does the SoLo platform give a member preferential treatment for including a tip or donation.

2. You can increase your trust in the platform by paying your loans back early or on time. This will increase your SoLo Score, and will also be visible to lending members in your loan history. The higher your score, the more trust future lenders will have in you.

3. Your loan will be active in the Marketplace for up to 3 days. At that time, if it remains unfunded, it’ll be automatically canceled. Upon cancellation, you can immediately create a new request.

4. We offer a SoLo Protection Program to Lenders which provides additional protection for your investments. Regardless of whether you choose to enroll in our Protection Program, we always make our best effort to recover funds for our Lenders.

5. We offer a grace period on all loans during which no late fees are applied.

We hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you,
SoLo Community Expert

Now this is what humanistic social media should be. Helping those that help themselves

Well, for a community run system such as this it is quite spectacular. True to form, no credit checks and everyone starts off with a fair shot to grow and build credit with the app ecosystem. And it works! If it doesn't for you, that's likely because you wanted it that way anyway.
