RateSetter is amazingly simple and easy.

5
RateSetter made it so easy and intuitive to apply. They offered a competitive rate and everything is explained concisely. I used to think "too good to be true" but this is the only instance I can say that is not the case, it really is good. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

The great and the good.

The application process is straight forward. Following this communication by email is fast and efficient and over the phone the customer services very helpful and will solve any problem you may have. I have recommended ratesstter to friends and family and their experience has been the same. A great company with good borrowing rates. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Great Company

5
painless, speedy the staff were very helpful and the interest rate they offer is the rate you get, unlike other companies that offer you one rate and then when you apply they increase it by at 15% Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

I would never take a loan out with anyone else RateSetter all the way.

5
I have had a marvellous experience with RateSetter and have recommended there service to my friends and works colleagues, the pay back rate is affordable and I don't have to worry about no affording my repayment as they are very reasonable so the stress you normally get with loan repayment and companies don't come in to it with RateSetter. RateSetter has been a life saver. Thank You RateSetter. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Better than a bank

5
So easy to use, money is transfered quickly... the APR is reasonable and there are no fees for paying back early. I recommend to anyone looking to take out a loan to look here 1st. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Easy application without the high interest

4
Usually when a company gives out loans fairly easily despite average to low income you expect a high interest and bullish tactics as a trade off. RateSetter however proving we paid our money each month just left us alone and also offered a competitive APR. In the event we were able to pay our loan off early. This was really easy to do just popped on line and paid it off in a matter of minutes with no excess fees. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Really easy to use and great service

5
The whole experience with Rate Setter was great. Couldn't have asked for it to be more simple and I was told I was accepted extremely quickly. It was hassle free and the rates were far better than anyone else would offer. I would recommend them to anyone! Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
