We received a business loan from Currency Capital for an office truck. We count on the truck to pick up donations that we receive and to get donations out so it’s critical. The administrative charges were $700, which wasn’t a small number. I was slightly disappointed that I wasn’t told about it until the end of the loan. I would’ve preferred to have known about at the beginning of the conversation. Not that I would have necessarily done anything differently, but I would’ve liked to have been aware of it. Other than that, my experience went very well.

Currency Capital was being offered as one of the finance companies for buying equipment and I applied because of the soft pull on the credit. The application was online and it was quick. I got an email asking me how my experience was. They told me someone would reach out to me but I never heard back.

They were a lender that was at the bottom of a website for an auction website. It said, financing available through Currency Capital. So, I just clicked on it and submitted on that and they approved it. They followed up with me several times, and a couple of the associates were very nice, proactive, and I just haven’t decided to purchase anything yet so I’m still waiting in the wings. Overall, they were very easy to deal with.

I was looking at some trailer stuff on sale and Currency Capital had an ad in there. The process was a basic everyday loan that you get. You put in your information, they called back, they approved you, and you got the money. It was a very simple process. I got a 53-foot trailer that I didn’t have. The business was a whole lot easier, the whole freight with that trailer. I was using other company trailers where it would cost me. It was an improvement. They pretty much did everything for me. I answered a few questions and they took over and paid for it. They were excellent.

Was applying for an equipment trailer loan. Went through the application and received an email that a representative would be contacting me. I waited and only received an email from one of their parter banks as a decline notice. I called Currency and talked to a rep and she said they had not responded. I already had the email of being declined. She sent it to another lender and said they would contact me when a decision was made. Currency ended up not extending me credit. I'm not sure what these folks are looking for?! I have 780 Fico, no missed payments in 6 years. Was just trying to finance 3100 after my $2000 down payment. They said minimum finance amount was 2500 but guess they wouldn't make any money on it. Poor service and no explanation for credit decline.

I got a loan for an equipment from Currency Capital. I filled it online and I got it quickly, in a day. The relationship manager I worked with was good and his courtesy was impressive. I got the piece of equipment and then, until I got another piece sold, I paid them back. With what I bought, I got more work. Overall, Currency Capital is a legit, good company.

I had some equipment financed through Currency Capital before. More recently, I got a working capital loan from them. Working with Currency Capital's relationship managers was a great experience. They answered the questions I had and were very upfront about everything. We're in the trucking business and vendors can be slow to pay. The loan has helped us.

I applied for an equipment financing from Currency Capital and the entire process took four days. Their loan process was easy. They just weren’t really forthcoming in some of the fees and stuff that I was charged. They charged me $500 to do the paperwork. What they didn’t tell me was they made my payment 60 days, so they charged me another $700-and-somewhat in interest.

We have one equipment and we wanted a second one. But the 20% interest on the equipment loan from Currency Capital was the most horrible loan that I got. I wish I had researched a bit more. But Alex, their rep, was good. He was very responsive. I'd tell others to try a different place first.

We took on a bigger contract and I needed more modern equipment, and that’s how Currency helped. As far as my experience and subsequent experiences, it wasn’t bad. The only part that was a problem was getting the paperwork back from the dealer. It was a month and a half late. I first got told, “This is what your payments are,” and then when I went to make my first payment according to the payment due, even though I hadn’t received my title, they told me there was an additional $600 interest charge from the time the loan started till the time I made my first payment. Every other vehicle I ever bought on a financing never had that included into it. I've never in my life argued so much to make a payment. Every time I turned around, they would screw it up. They wouldn’t take it out and then they charged me a late fee. I had to argue with them to take them out. I don’t believe I’ll ever do business with Currency again.

I like that my Currency Capital loan is an affordable plan. It helped me get the bed I needed on my truck for work. It does an auto-draft every month, so I don’t ever have to worry about being late on payments or forget about it or anything. We had a little bit of a mix-up at first when applying for the loan. I think they applied for a business loan to start with when it’s a personal loan. But they straightened it out pretty quickly. They got me financed really fast. Everybody I’ve talked to so far has been easy to work with, courteous, and professional with me. That means a lot. They made getting that welding bed pretty easy, so I’d definitely recommend them to someone else.

We used Currency Capital for the trailers. I heard about them through the dealership that I was purchasing from. We needed immediate financing to give us immediate approval, which was great. The only thing I didn't like was that in their paperwork, it shows that we have to make all 48 payments. I can’t pay those off earlier. So, a little disappointed in that. I wish there would be a little more full disclosure upfront before we start signing paperwork.

I did a term loan for a trailer but I think they wrote it up as a lease. It was a four-year loan. But the trailer ended up getting totaled in about eight months, so the insurance company paid the loan off. It was quick to apply to Currency. Everything was online and then they take it out of your bank account. They were a little bit of a pain to get the payoff balance from and all that other stuff we needed when we were trying to pay it off. But other than that, they were good. It worked fine.

The term loan for an enclosed trailer that I got through Currency Capital allowed me to get the equipment that I needed to add on another service onto my business. Without the loan, it would've still happened, but it would've been a heck of a lot more aggravation. So it would've probably costed me 10 hours a week, which would've costed me about $300 a week. My interaction with the Currency Capital relationship manager was very short, easy, quick and pleasant. Also, the manager's professionalism and knowledge were spot-on. It was great.

I got a loan with Currency Capital for a semitruck. The manager that I worked with was good. The loan gave me the ability to buy the truck so I could lease it to a company and start running and making money. If I hadn't gotten the loan, I wouldn't have been able to get my truck, and I wouldn't have been able to be my own boss. I was happy that I was able to finance the trucks so that I could go to work as my own boss, and make the money that I feel like is there to be made.

I had first applied for a trailer with another trading company, and they gave me the runaround for about a month. They kept not responding back to emails, not letting me know what was going on and I didn’t know that it shouldn’t take that long to get on it for a trailer. They screwed me over and messed me over with a lot of money. Currency helped me out in 24 hours and helped me stay afloat, which really saved me so I'm grateful. Everything went so fast, I didn’t believe it. We're getting out about three weeks now, so everything is slowly growing. I'm waiting ‘til everything gets booming and I'm gonna go through Currency again for a second trailer.

Currency Capital makes me sick. When I was looking for a truck, I wasn’t even trying to call them for a loan. They called me back and gave me a loan overnight. I told the rep what I wanted. I didn't wanna spend 200,000 and they gave me 100,000, which was cool. But when I found the truck and flew out to Wisconsin to buy it, that was when he told me if I would buy something over eight years old, they were gonna add two more points. They should have told me that before I even thought about buying anything. They should have told me all the rules and regulations or their procedures.

Plus if I buy a truck at Wisconsin and I’m at Philadelphia, it's common sense that I would need insurance. It's 19 hours away. I would need insurance to get from point A to point B. So I got insurance. But Currency Capital took money out of my account last month for insurance. I had sent them information and the rep should have sent the information but they took my money. I’m paying State Farm for my truck right now plus Currency Capital is stealing money out of my account. They both take out of my account but they couldn't do that after I've changed it. I called the rep, changed all my account and said they can’t take their money for the normal monthly payment. I told the rep they shouldn’t have taken my money for my insurance.

I’m still waiting to get reimbursed for my money right now. But no matter how good my insurance is, Currency Capital keeps finding some reasons. The rep said they didn't get my insurance package. So I sent it to him. State Farm even sent them a policy for coverage for everything. State Farm asked if I owned the vehicle. No, I'm being financed. It's automatic – if I crash tomorrow, State Farm isn't gonna pay me. It's not even my vehicle that I'm paying for. I was just playing games through the phone with Currency Capital. I called State Farm and gave them Currency Capital's number. State Farm would deal with them directly.

How Currency Capital did this is legal but it’s blindsided. They took my money on the first day when I bought my vehicle. It was for the first month payment and the docs fee but they didn’t tell me. They just withdrew on my account so when the bank called me and said somebody had accessed my account, I told the manager of my account that I hadn't authorized anybody and they stopped it. Two weeks later, Currency Capital called me. But they didn't tell me they would take my money. I would have given them authorization.

I’m taking my money that I financed the truck with and go pay Currency Capital. I really don’t wanna deal with them. With everything I ever bought, it's always been paid for – no late fees, no liens and no mortgages. I don’t owe anything but this and I can’t keep paying for this vehicle because I have a bunch of vehicles. If I were to answer my phone to Currency Capital, I wouldn’t even respond. I would just hang up on them. Absolutely nothing out there deserves them.

Currency Capital is the preferred financer for TrailersPlus in Kingman, Arizona. I got a loan for a trailer from them. The process could have been quicker though. Also, I asked them about the 30 days to have my own insurance thing or else they were automatically gonna charge me for it. I told the rep that I saw this in the contract and he said he would check on it. He went to talk to somebody, and he came back and said that it only applied to semi-truck trailers and large trailers. I got an email a few days later that said if I didn’t have an insurance within 30 days on the trailer itself for comp, and collision, and theft, then Currency Capital would automatically add it on. I intended to get it anyway, but there was some confusion there. But other than that, everything else was great.

We contacted Currency Capital to purchase a trailer. We like to pay cash, but we were kinda in a hard place. Our trailer that we had was gonna have to be replaced immediately. But the lending process turned out to be very slow. I got online, filled out the thing, and it wound out being Currency. I didn’t hear back from anyone for two weeks. The week before I tried to call and I couldn't get ahold of anyone. It went to a voicemail, and then so I waited a while. I just kinda left it alone.

And then our trailer broke down. We lost all the brakes and it was gonna cost us five grand just to replace the whole system. And I thought that we needed another trailer anyway as a back-up, so I just went and called them. I finally got ahold of a guy and he was really great. I told him it has been two weeks, and I’ve not heard from anyone. And he said, “I see your thing. You’ve been approved. Nobody’s contacted you?” And I said no. He told me I left it blank on the salesperson. I said, “I was in San Antonio that day, but I live in Oklahoma, and I didn’t put someone down. The guy that helped me was wonderful.

He helped us right away, and then the guy that I was working with to get the loan situated and everything was great. Once we figured out a dealership, they said, “Come on over.” So, we drove. It was two hours, and he still had not heard from Currency by the time I got there in two hours. And we hadn't got any paperwork or anything. And so, he started calling and finding out what the hold-up was. I think what happened is that it was lunchtime.

Currency helped us out tremendously. We were able to get the trailer we need in emergency. So, doing it all in one day, it helped us from not failing. Because if we were still having to pull the old trailer, it probably would've been in the shop for three weeks is what I was told, and it was gonna cost me about five grand. The guy that finally helped us made it happen. He told us upfront everything to expect and what to do. The only other thing that has been kind of a hold-up is that once it went through I didn’t hear anything for a while.

So, I called the day that I got an email saying my loan was gonna be due on the 7th of this month, and I hadn't heard anything. I contacted them to make sure I wasn’t gonna get a late fee. That’s been my biggest concern. I don’t want that. But finally, yesterday, I got an email saying that my payment’s gonna be taken out any time. People are busy and I know there can be some delays, but their communication could be a little bit better with the client, especially if I’m calling for questions. I got the runaround a little bit until I got some answers.

But I would recommend them. My husband and I only been in business for a year now. I didn’t think we’d qualify. And it’s not a loan. It’s more a lease. Interest is a little high. But my goal is I’m going to try to take $2,000, 2,500 a month, and I’m gonna try to get it paid off within the sixth month. Everything's been fixed. We're finally getting the payments down on time. The first time wasn't on time but we didn't get a penalty. They've been real good to fix the issue and get it done. So I do appreciate that.
