Uncomplicated and easy application.

I was very happy to find a peer to peer loan company that provided me with my short term loan where the application was uncomplicated and easy to apply for on line. I never knew these type of companies existed where I could apply for a loan at a reasonable interest rate. I am very happy with the process and follow up. Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

The web site is very simple and easy to use, you can even apply for extra credit on there, there is no fee for over payment which I like, You can also lend money and get a better rate than bank savings accounts. Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Great experience

5
With ratesetter I had my first long-term loan experience. I expected whatever loan company I borrowed money from would be more focused on getting as much money out of there customers as they possible, rather than helping and understanding there financial situation. However, Ratesetter have been extremely understanding about my situation and have been happy to help when I required it. Reviewed on: 30th June 2017

Breath of fresh air.
