Fast, Efficient and Stress free

I needed emergency money for my wedding, I was stressed and had empty pockets as i had spent the majority of my budget. In my low state RateSetter came to the rescue like a digital bro that friend who's always there in shining armor over the internet. They provided me with a loan. The process was a pleasure start to finish, and more importantly I was saved from the wrath of the the wife. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

Extremely easy to use and access account once set up.

I've used ratesetter twice now for car purchase finding that their rates favourable to banks and car loan companies. I find the fact that you can access you account and see exactly what has been paid and what remains outstanding very useful indeed. Sadly my only criticism is that when initially searching for a low cost loan I was quoted a particularly low rate which, once applied for, rose slightly but still remained lower than the competitors rates. I would still highly recommend RateSetter as when I searched they were still the best I could find. Of note is their ease of use once you've registered previously, very useful indeed.

Prize winning service.

Need a fuss free fair rate loan that doesn't make you jump through hoops for approval.Ratesetter did this for me...I tried several well known companies who asked lots of questions wanted lots of information before they would even consider my request for a small loan.I went to Ratesetter thinking they would be the same. Within three days of applying to this company through a simple questionnaire that didn't require my shoe size and what my favourite colour was...I received approval and the money went into my account...No fuss ...no delay...no hassle....with a great repayment plan that is fixed and much cheaper than my bank. Thankyou for being there when I needed you most. Reviewed on: 29th June 2017

When looking for a loan, I found ratesetter a real pleasure to deal with. Simple, easy application process, and the interest rates were far lower than my banks. Also, approval was very quick. Whenever I am in need of financial assistance I will always to to Ratesetter_i don't believe that there is anybody better.

I had a personal loan for 24 months, the flexible and easy to manage on line account made it easy for me to amend my payments and I subsequently paid it off in 13 months. The staff were excellent too when I called them and their email replies were quick and very helpful too. This will be my first port of call if I need another loan! Reviewed on: 29th June 2017
