Initially very frustrating

Initially very frustrating. After submitting the required documents, I was still asked for more information. After several days of submitting and waiting, I received a phone call advising that I needed to call because my account was under review. I called, and the agent stated I needed to stay on the phone as he reviewed the final steps (I didn't get that). Because I needed to be somewhere, (I thought the call would be quick), I advised that I would need to call back because my time was limited. The next day (which I am thankful for), I received the email that my loan was approved.

Applying for the loan was very quick…

Applying for the loan was very quick and it’s very flexible on its payment plans. I love the fact that no collateral is needed and it’s an easy process. This is my go to when I need to get things handled right away.

SMOOTH & SIMPLE

The application process was smooth and simple. There was no jumping through hoops to get approved. We were surprised how quickly and easily our loan was finalized.
