Didn't Invest - Got Fed up with too many emails

I joined Funding Circle as I was looking for alternative investments. The site is good, the deals are ok, but the email traffic you get from them is too much. In the end I unsubscribed and opened an ISA for my wife as they are easier to understand. When it's a new form of investing overkill on emails sets alarm bells off - 'these guys seem to desperate for my cash'. Reviewed on: 16th March 2016

Solidly reliable

The importance of a non-bank funding source is growing...it's vital to my business to have this kind of access to capital. Funding Circle do a good job and can only really grow. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2015

Loans get funded quickly

I was seeking financing for my business and came across Funding Circle as an alternative to the traditional lenders. I found the whole process quite simple and my loan was funded quickly. I was initially a bit concerned that raising funds in this way might put-off some of my customers but this concern provided to be unfounded. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2015
