Started well but somewhere I would not return to unfortunately ..

published

Applied for $5000 loan back in 2017 when Society One were advertising like crazy; approved for 11.45% and loan settled 72 hours. Female Loan Officer was very friendly and very professional. Payments came out as scheduled, never missed 1 payment. In fact, I decided to pay out the early due to have spare cash. Fast Forward to 2020, with no further borrowings, no debt and a score > 725 across all 3 credit reporting bureaus, I did a soft credit test out of interest to see how far things have come with Society Once and they no want to hit me as a returning client with a rate 14.95% . No thanks! Good credit should be rewarded with good rates . If I need to look to borrow in the future, I will go back to my main financial institution.

Easy and pleasant to deal with, but high interest rates.

published

I recently applied for a loan through Society One. The application process was easy to navigate through, documents were easy to upload. I found the process pleasant. We will not go into the interest %. but the application process was good.

Fabulous experience and quick turn around

published

I would highly recommend this company as I applied for the loan on a Tuesday and after supplying all of the required proof and paperwork my loan was approved and the funds for in my bank the next day!

false interest claims

published

I just did an application and on the main page they said 7.5% interest on a comparison rate of 9.5% compare to other banks. It is just a lie, after doing the application the interest went up to 17%.
I did not go ahead and there is no way I will ever. This is false advertising just to get people to go to their website.
Be careful Peeps..

Best lending experience

published

I recently entered into a loan process with Society One. The entire process from initial application to recieving the funds was the best loan experience I have taken part in. The customer service I received was always professional and were always willing to assist when I raised questions. Once approved the funds were available in my account within 48hrs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Society One to anyone wishing a stress free process.

Automated emails....no good

published

I have been pre approved pending statements!
I couldn't send e statements the way it was setup so I emailed them on 2 separate occasions.

I keep getting automated emails saying the same thing so I'm gonna say customer service doesn't exist. I'm writing this negative review because I'm guessing they will read this and then check the email instead of sending computer generated responses

What an amazingly simple process.

published

After entering different amounts and loan terms onto the website, i was satisfied with this information, especially the rate compared to a "special" rate from my bank. I called customer service to see if the laon could be split between a second hand car and a credit card balance. They said i could do this and i was happy with the friendly service i received. I had to forego the car, but payed out 2 credit cards as a better option for me at this time. I was superimpressed as the money was on my bank account the next day!

I applied for a loan which took longer because of delay with uploading bank statement.. kept receiving generated emails requesting that I needed to do this still.. haven’t heard anything back since and very disappointing

Hi Lynda,
I would like to advise you that beware of the contract, they changed condition and interest rate just before the released loan, in this case, you may have pressure to sign the contract. Never sign the contract until you see the contract and get advice properly. Read contract line by line, word by word. Also look for other options.

Is it standard that you contact the bank in behalf of the borrower for their bank statements?

Ash K.SocietyOne

Hi Kristie, thank you for your question!

We recommend all applicants use the bankstatements.com portal to submit their bank statements to us electronically using the Ilion-backed portal. When you enter your details, the bank receives a notification to send us your statements.

If you choose to send your statements to us manually, you will have to email them in PDF format. We will not contact the bank directly on your behalf.

If you have any further queries, please email [email protected].

Kind regards, Ash @ SocietyOne.

Can a pensioner get a loan?

Ash K.SocietyOne

Hi Sandie75, thank you for your question.
It is a requirement that all applicants with us be earning a minimum of $30,000.00 a year in taxable income.
Therefore, if the pension is your primary source of income, we would not be able to assist you with a loan.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Kind regards, Ash @ SocietyOne
