I've had a loan for a food truck for my business with Currency Capital. Dan assisted me with it and was very helpful and pleasant to work with. When we had a few issues with the person that I purchased the vehicle through getting the paperwork done, Dan was very patient and followed up, kept in touch, kept me informed on what was going on, helped push the process through, and made it work.

My company was solicited by Currency Capital with a mailing containing a "credit card" offering a $150,000 line of credit. When we pursued it, the customer representative assigned to us, Felicia **, confirmed that we were eligible for such financing. When we attempted to use the 'line of credit', we provided all of the requested paperwork, both business and personal documentation. At the end of the data collection process they determined that we did not meet the profile to receive the original terms, however could offer a shorter term financing that was actually in the form of a lease. The rates associated with this were over 20%. We declined to entertain this 'counter offer', however discovered they had ACH debited our bank account.
We contacted Currency Capital demanding a return of our funds. They submitted our request but have not done so yet. After reading the other negative experiences it is clear this is a common practice by this company. Currency Capital is existing under technicalities designed to intentionally defraud consumers. All of the representations are designed to lure you into providing your banking details only to switch the offer at the 11th hour to something you would have never considered, while helping themselves to your bank account. We will continue to pursue this matter and encourage anyone else who has had this experience to do so as well.

We were unable to approve the customers transaction on the proposed terms due to risk concerns. This customer's refund was processed via ACH on 10/9.
Thank you.

We needed to make a purchase of some equipment and our Currency Capital loan helped us with our cash flow. Their relationship manager was excellent, but they might want to tell upfront that they're doing third-party lending. I didn't know they weren't the one doing it but it wasn't a big deal.

Currency Capital was one of the lenders that came up when we put an inquiry online. We received a small business loan from them to help fund some of the projects that we're getting started and it was a blessing. The relationship manager I worked with was very good. I would recommend them.

I had gone online, did some probing, and thought Currency Capital was something that I needed at the time. My husband and I started a few job as contractors and we needed some quick money. We could go to the bank but it takes forever. Riley called me, and I liked the way she was assuring me. She was very attentive and took care of business. She was excellent, and I am pleased with Currency Capital.

Our loan from Currency Capital gave us the money to buy the equipment we needed to start our own kitchen. I was doing this for the first time and a lot of it was new to me, so I needed a little extra explaining which was available. Sometimes it was hard because there was so much back and forth going on and my business was taking off. But the relationship manager, Ryan, was excellent and very personal. And the lady rep was great with doing the personal explaining. When it got down to really needing to talk, I had two emails that I was using in my phone and she had been nice to put these in one form of communication to make it easier.

I was approved for an equip loan. After withdrawing first, last month & fees of $2600, they decided to not fund loan and refused to refund my money. For almost a month, they give me the runaround that they might fund loan.

This customer attempted to defraud us during the financing process.
We funded this customer $20,000 for a working capital loan. After the funding of that loan the customer expressed a need for an Equipment financing loan, the customer was approved for the equipment financing and signed an agreement to terms of that financing, In that agreement the customer states that the information to she has provided to that point was try and accurate to her knowledge. During the equipment financing process it was discovered this client submitted her Equipment Financing application with a Social Security Number that was not hers', due to our in-depth and extensive fraud prevention policies we brought this to the customer's attention. She said it was her Father's social security number she was trying to pass off as her own on the application, because of the attempted identity fraud the customer deposit was deemed as earned by IMCA Capital as laid out in the terms of the agreement signed by the customer.
Additionally the attempted Identity Fraud is being sent to the proper authorities and will be pursued to the furthest extent possible.

The person I talked to at Currency Capital helped me. She has pushed whatever needed her pushing and she's trying to make the process faster. I'm not liking the process itself though. I'm waiting to receive the title for the truck I bought from Penske with the loan I got from Currency. They took about 4 to 5 days to transfer the title to them and do some paperwork on it, which will take another 2 to 3 days. I needed the truck since last week - I have the truck now but I can't move because it's not registered since I haven't received the title yet.

We apologize for the time it took to complete this process, but we assure you that we did everything on our end in a timely manner. Our money was sent out to Penske on August 27th and when dealing with a Fortune 100 company, you cannot always guarantee delivery dates. Unfortunately, we did not receive the DMV titling package from them until September. Most importantly, you received your title and are able to drive your truck. Please let us know whether everything is running smoothly now or not.

My experience with Currency Capital was wonderful. My sales rep was a sweetheart, very patient, knowledgeable, experienced, caring, and he really fought for me because when I came there I didn't have the greatest of credit and I didn't even really think that I would qualify for anything. It was my first time ever seeking a loan like that and my business is not doing well right now, but his participation in me getting some of the equipment that I have in here was smooth sailing. And, even though my business with Currency is over, he still will shoot me an email from time to time and ask how things are going. Currency really work hard to get you what you called them for.

We received an equipment leasing loan and a working capital loan from Currency Capital. These loans provided a bridge for us to get more definitive financing and to help us move ahead with our business plans. We had great interactions with their Capital Relationship Manager, Ian. He was very professional and did a good job. I enjoyed working with him and they got the job done.

Currency Capital has given me a merchant cash advance though I don't know if it's tied to my merchant processing. The loan allowed me to hire some extra staff and ramp up advertising that I wouldn't have considered to do out of basic cash flow. Their capital relationship manager has been wonderful. She has been my confidante since day one. If I needed something, I can call her and she has been extremely helpful so I very strongly recommend her. I've only had one negative experience with one individual that thought that there was an issue with the payment when in fact there was none. When I called the people that I normally deal with, it was rectified immediately, so it was certainly not a problem. Overall, they've been great and I would totally recommend Currency.

We used the loan we got from Currency Capital to buy a reliable truck. We talked to one of their people - Josh is his name. He's got a formed funny accent but he's good. We're happy with them, but I had one problem because I had to sign documents through DocuSign and now I can't get them back, I can't print them, I can't do anything with them... My wife needs the documents so she can put them back on QuickBooks so that the accountant can see what's going on. But other than that, everything's fine.

Currency Capital purchased some of our invoices but they didn't give us everything that they originally said they would. We were getting into a project with one of our new clients but it was unfortunate that they cut our loan in half the last minute. That staggered us a bit because it was enough to get the ball rolling a bit on our project, but not enough to keep it going. They helped and hurt us all at the same time. We're in a transitional phase right now because of it and it's been a bit of a struggle. Still, it was great that they were polite and very business professional. I've talked to their relationship manager twice during the process but nobody has called to follow up yet. Overall, it was an easy process all the way around but they weren't the greatest I've ever dealt with.

We received an offer for our business to qualify for $100,000 line of credit. They had a Discover Card glued to it along with the small print alluding to the fact that they were linked with Discover.

I received an unsolicited credit card from Currency Capital in the mail today which offered my business a $150,000 available credit line, accompanied by a letter that asks only that I call ** to activate the card. That seemed suspicious, so I searched the net and found this page which has some scathing and some glowing reviews. If you check out the "glowing" reviews, you'll see they purport to be from people in the USA, but the grammar is bad and words are missing. I suspect the reviews were written by some scam artist overseas and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the company is run by the same scam artists. You can do your own research, but buyer beware...

Hi Laurie, Thank you for taking the time to research IMCA Capital. As you know with every business, there will always be unhappy customers, especially when we say no. We would like to assure you that we are a credible company that’s been in business since 2001. You can verify that by searching websites like Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs and Business Consumer Alliance. You are also welcome to call and verify with us at 1-800-795-9260. Unfortunately some reviews are scams written by our competitors and we are constantly working to take down inaccurate, false or misleading reviews. If you have information regarding a potentially inaccurate claim please bring that to our attention immediately so we can address it. We use direct mail as a way to have customers call us and we buy our data from Dun & Bradstreet. It sounds like our marketing may have made you feel uncomfortable, for that we apologize. Please know that we exist to help business owners grow by using our capital. You will be removed from our database and will not be contacted again.

We apologize for the misunderstanding but auto dealerships were a restricted industry at the time of your submission. There is nothing we could have done to fund you at the time, as we did not have any options for approval. If you have any further questions, please call us at 1-800-795-9260. We would be more than happy to give you contact information of lenders that do work with auto dealerships.

This company reached me over phone, mail, email and offered me that they will do business loan for 6% to 7% annual interest and requested my permission to run my credit. I verified the interest rate with them twice and authorized them to run my credit. Unfortunately 3 different companies run my credit, which I'm very surprised and they did not inform me about this.
After credit check they offered me business loan for 33% year interest. But they told all kind of stories and gave lot of public awards references. Please be very careful with this company, I very strongly recommend NOT TO GO with this company. I'm sure all other positive reviews are made by them. We need to fight these kinds of companies and save US business owners from them. I hate when people screw small business owners.

I searched for lenders on Lending Tree and this company came up. I received a call the next day and we discussed my needs. I gave them my company info and she said she would call me back in a few hours after "Underwriting" looked over it. A few hours later I was approved for $25,000 for a term of 60 months and my payments were only $600 a month!!! Not bad for a startup in business less than a year. So she sends me over a term sheet and I see in fine print at the bottom that signing said term sheet meant they were going to debit my bank account for first, last, and $575 processing fee and that at that point my loan would be processed for approval and that if the loan was approved and there were no "substantial" changes in the original terms (this is the exact wording) and I decided to not accept it that the money they had debited would be theirs to keep as money earned for processing the loan.
So I call her back and start questioning her about everything and come to find out not only are they going to keep my money but the original payment quote she gave me was a lease with the option to buy the equipment at the end of the lease for Fair Market Value. That means I would have to pay for the equipment twice if I wanted to own it. All of a sudden the monthly doubles for me to own the equipment at the end of the 60 months. Essentially they wanted to charge me 28% interest for 60 months. Still curious I asked her to send me over a copy of their loan terms and conditions. She said she couldn't because I haven't given them the signed term sheet so they could input the numbers. I explained I just wanted to look over the fine print before I gave them any money and it didn't have to have the numbers inputted. She said she would get it over to me later that day. It has now been 6 weeks and I have heard nothing.
My thoughts are that all of the positive reviews and even possibly some of the review sites in their entirety are scams and are not real people. Beware of these guys because I am pretty sure they are just very smart and organized thieves.
