Lendio Reviews

Using Lendio for help with my ERC. So disappointed because call backs never happen and my representative is rude. Been waiting 16months for answers. Steve charges $1k for work and I get no answers from him. I'm so disappointed.

I was looking for an SBA loan to purchase a commercial property at $2m. I already had another option, but was shopping around and thought why not give this platform a chance. Concurrently I also contacted a third potential lender. I sent all my required documents to Lendio, then Carl ** asked for some more info, which I've sent. Then he said another person will review the file and will be in touch. Then next day Anthony ** got in touch, asked for some extra information that I've sent. So by now, this company has all my sensitive information including tax returns & SSN.

I was promised a loan after submitting my application. They claimed I was approved for $120,000. I sent every document they asked for. After 4 months and 3 different agents I was told the last agent erased my folder by accident.

Lendio Company is a scam. The Salespeople are liars. They rope you in with the hope of getting a real loan with SBA while dragging you out until you throw your hands up and accept a 70% APR loan from Ondeck or some other predatory company. In the meanwhile they never, even applied to SBA in any shape of form. The whole SBA system is ridiculous and very shady. The SBA only lends though these type lenders, but the borrower has no say or recourse in the process. I had to call them over 25 times before they assured me that Lendio had never submitted an application on my behalf. Now, why would my government treat the very people, the small business owners with such disregard and disdain. Stay away with extreme prejudice from this lender and all others like it. If a company tells you they are applying to the SBA on your behalf, ask for proof and don't let them string you along and waste your time.

My neighbor just had a Costco delivery from Instacart. Our lobby is secured and requires using a call box for entrance. The Instacart delivery guy was chasing his baby carriage full of groceries toward the road when I was exiting the lobby, so went on with my dog walk. As I cross the street a woman's voice is screaming profanities from a mini-van that was blocking our building's parking garage ramp. She got out cursing me. After a couple minutes of back and forth, I went back in the building to find the guy. He came out of the elevator, we had verbal transactions as he made fast for the van. Both refused to identify who they were delivering for, but both Costco and my neighbor said it was Instacart.

Hello, My name is Mcelhenie and it's been real difficult for me to get everything in place on a fashionable time. This is what I'm having trouble with and, it seems to a bit more confusing everyday. I thank you all for being patient with me and me and the company will provide you all with all the information you need!

I contacted Lendio, simply to inquire about SBA funding for my client. I submitted an online application. Shortly after, a representative called/texted/emailed me for more information. This felt wrong, I was kind of bombarded. The representative told me in an email, after I provided all the documents, "A Funding Manager will be in touch within 24 hours. (within 1 business days)". After 5 days, I emailed once, twice, no answer. I have no idea how this company makes money, but certainly be careful. My experience was totally negative. Soon I will post the email chain.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!! It was a horrible experience and very misleading. They might have a lot of lenders but only provided me with one. They don't tell you that you can look up these same companies. Save yourself some time and just google it trust me. So after giving all my private information I was told I wouldn't have to do it twice and that I would be able to see my offers on my account which was a lie. After I gave all my information it was a hard time getting in touch with anyone. Also didn't get any email responses. After 4 days of emails I finally got a response saying I have an offer and to call this financial manager in the email. I call the number provided which was very alarming because it was some random person not a company. I recheck the number just to make sure it's right just to get the same person saying I don't know who you're looking for please quit calling me. Very alarming because who are they giving all my info to!

This place is a loan shark operation. Stay far away. They steer business owners into Merchant Cash Advances that must be paid back weekly at 40%!!! Jeremiah ** is a scammer and should be in prison. This company should be shut down immediately. I will be making formal complaints with the government. They profit from putting business owners in deeper debt. These people are scum of the earth.

Thank you for the First Draw PPP but the Second Draw PPP was disappointing. My application for the Second draw was submitted in April 2021. Approved May 23, 2021. I received an email June 24, 2021. Then cancelled in August 2021.

I have applied for a PPP loan twice and after giving them all my information for three months document after document, which I felt uneasy putting all my information out there it was very difficult for me. I’m trying to restart my business. Due to Covid I pretty much have lost my business, which I explained to my agent several agents that I dealt with in three months my situation .. It was finally approved and they sent me a DocuSign. I made a mistake on it on. A question I didn’t know. After that I never got it taken care of. They said they’ll re-issue a new one and never did. Very disappointing. After you believe you got the loan and then they mess up on their end and I end up with a bad deal!!! This should’ve never happened.. It's very unprofessional and very disappointing!! I would never recommend this company to anyone.. Very sad about this..

Something should be done to get back at this low down company. I was told my Second draw would be on a fast track when I applied in January. Then they ignored me till May to make changes on my application so it looked like I didn't apply till May .. Such evil and lack of common courtesy because my company only needed 5900 to stay afloat so my loan didn't mean as much to them. I'm now out of business and they just keep hurting others. I have never been treated so bad and during a pandemic too..

This company is a rip off because no matter how you try to communicate with them there are never any replies. I have been waiting for my loan for over 3 months and no response the loan officer never calls you back to update you and I have signed all loan documents and no loan. I will not use them for my second draw and sorry I used them for my first draw. I can't do my second draw until I am done with them..I am so over these people.

Applied with Lendio in January. First my application wasn't updated automatically to the new application so I had to re-apply. Received loan documents 4 separate times, each time something went wrong on either Lendio's side or the lender's side. Had 4 different funding managers and each was nearly impossible to get a response out of. When I did get a response they just say, "Everything looks good just be patient." Got some email yesterday saying our PLP number was cancelled but not to worry they will be re-submitting and you will be issued a new PLP number. When I called they said the email was sent by mistake and I should have received a follow up email saying they were not able to secure funding. Worst experience ever. Do not use. Complete joke, no customer service, no answers. Their website says "Fueling the American Dream" more like crushing the American Dream for companies who need the help and deserve better.

I received an SBA number and was told that I had already been emailed Docusign by Consumer Bank which was not true and I confirmed my email with them and checked by SPAM folder. After a bunch of different representatives I was told that Consumer Bank can't fund me as we took too long to have the application and Docusign completed. Then I was told not to worry because they set me up with another Bank who has agreed to fund our business - Texas National Bank... I never received their Docusign either as I was informed by numerous reps that it was on its way. To end it all, the time frame had expired for funding and then I got a made up email saying that I didn't qualify as decided on by the SBA. The SBA had already approved and gave me a number!!! I was strung along and mislead. Our company never was funded. Stay away from this company!

Uploaded ppp docs four times since 3/1/21. 6 months later, still haven't completed loan, and ask for documents again. 3 people worked on loan. Gotten nowhere and won't get govt funds we are qualified for. We missed our window. Avoid like the plague.

The worse! I’ve been waiting and waiting to hear I don’t qualify. Seem like a cat and mouse game. Bad bad bad. Bad business. Bad bad bad in a time like this. No contact until 20 days later but I had to contact.

I do not know where to begin... Started 2nd PPP loan with Lendio back in January - yes January, still did not get funded and I am thinking it's not even going to happened... Submitted all necessary documentation, got loan # from SBA just to get my application withdrawn cause they missed something on the application.. Since then at least 5 funding managers quit, was assigned to another person over and over... I am on my wit's ends and now I was told no more funds and eventually to apply for a third round (if there is one, that is).. I am thinking this is not happening after all... Speechless and late to use other lender cause SBA stopped accepting application... 5 month and nothing...

Applied for a PPP loan and was told I was approved back in February 2021. Now May 2021 and I have yet to receive funds and all I’m being told is I might not receive it because the deadline has passed, but I had all my information submitted.

There are many other lending options. I have used multiple funding options in the past, Lendio is by far the worst. They will spam you with endless calls, emails, and texts daily. Find a company that respects its customers and their personal information.

If I could give Lendio zero stars that is exactly what they would receive. We applied for a PPP Loan using them January 14, 2021. After many unanswered phone calls and emails (to no less than the 5 managers we have had assigned to us), we received a contract for the loan from Customers Bank through Lendio March 27, 2021. We signed and returned the documents and was told it would take up to 2 weeks for the funds to be deposited into our account. Needless to say it was not. Again after many unanswered emails and phone calls we were told our loan was NOT approved. We started back with one of the original lenders and was shocked to find out the SBA has us as a funded company by none other than Customers Banks and they could not submit us for a PPP loan.

I worked with Bill ** at Lendio in Denver Colorado. I originally applied for my second PPP loan through U.S. Bank where I got my first PPP loan. I applied with U.S. Bank on February 5, 2021 and U.S. Bank declined the loan on April 26, 2021 after dozens of request for information that I fulfilled. I have been a U.S. Bank customer for 25 years and I keep a fair amount of money on deposit with them. I applied with Lendio and Bill on April 26, 2021 right after I was turned down by U.S. Bank and my loan was funded on May 5, 2021. Thank you, Bill, and Lendio for helping me keep my payroll going during this difficult time.

Applying for a PPP loan paperwork has been very overwhelming as even the loan funding number expired. You actually have to soak to the right manager to find out what is going on with your application. This is truly disrespectful to those of us trying to hold on during a disaster.

** women are being targeted in the PPP program and there are studies that show that there are patterns of systemic discrimination in lending. I would like to give you a prime example. I filed for the PPP back on March 9, 2021, And still have yet to hear a response with regards to the long. So last week I helped out a couple of ** friends of mine and they receive their loan information and loan number and the amount of the loan just yesterday.

I have requested for this Lender to "CANCEL" my PPP loan with them and they have failed to do so. On April 16 I log onto the Lendio site to cancel my PPP app because I no longer wanted to do business with Lendio due to their unprofessionalism and I was unable via their site to cancel my app. So I called in for the supervisor by the name of "Philip **" but he was Unavailable so a rep by the name of "Michelle" answered the phone and stated that she will send Mr. ** an email regarding the cancellation, but I have yet to hear back from Philip ** or from Lendio regarding my request to CANCEL. I decided to CANCEL because the level of customer service experience with this company has been very unprofessional and exhausting. All I am asking is for the company to please cancel my App and send me confirmation to my email showing that my App has been canceled.

I wanted to write a review, because I’ve seen many negative ones appearing for Lendio’s 2021 customer service performance. These reviews seem to be written mainly by people who have been frustrated with the lack of personal attention, general procedural opacity, and inability to reach their loan representatives by phone.

We applied for a PPP loan on Mar 16, 2021. Today is Apr 7, 2021 (3 weeks later). We have received only one communication on status from Lendio in 3 weeks, so I logged into our portal today to ask customer service in the chat window. The representative said that our application was under review, then when I asked about expected timeline, 23 minutes later the rep came back and said the application had been rejected.

I WISH I COULD GIVE 0 STARS. FIRSTLY, My original funding manger Ebony ** ignored me for 27 days straight, she refused to answer even when her status was marked as "Online and available". I tried calling, texting and emailing and every time I was ignored, my calls were silenced as I was pushed aside as if I didn't even matter. After my application was marked as Approved and I obtained a PPP number my application sat for another 20 days without any updates so I reached out and had my funding manager switched. Now my current funding manager started off great with her communication but after the first day she no longer responds to texts, calls or emails. Lendio outright REFUSES to withdraw my application and Lendio outright REFUSES to disburse my funds.

TL;DR: STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. I've been passed around to about 7 different agents since I started my PPP loan application almost 6 months ago. Nobody knows what they're doing generally, and nobody within Lendio knows what other Lendio agents are doing - they just keep passing the blame from department to department. I received an email from a "Catherine **" a few days ago saying that I needed to provide additional documentation, but hasn't responded to my requests for clarity on what exactly she needs. I was also ghosted by 5 agents before her - one especially annoying interaction was with an "Eva **" who assured me she would handle my case personally. After our initial call, she fell off the face of the planet. ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY AND ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I applied for the 1st Draw PPP Loan through Lendio. The funding ran out before it was completed. I assumed that the issue was with the US Congress. When I was able to apply for the 2nd Draw PPP, I again applied with Lendio. Numerous "Processors" from Lendio called me over the period of about the next three weeks. All of them wanted me to resubmit my documents to them again (which I did). None of them seemed to know anything about the previous "Processor". It finally occurred to me that each of those processors probably had nothing to do with the other and they were all just competing for my account.

I filed my PPP application with Lendio at the Jan 15th. Without hearing anything during the process, after 1 month, suddenly I received the doc from SBA to sign for releasing the PPP application fund. The loan amount is only 50% of what I applied for. I am not sure why Lendio changed the loan amount and submitted it to SBA without contacting me. My other lender agreed with my application amount is correct but since Lendio is holding the PLP number with their partner lender, they can't help me resubmit.

We submitted our paperwork on 02/09/21. Lendio approved the application and sent it to their lender and to this day we have not received our loan or can get any response from this company. I can only assume this is a total scam of a company! Do not use LENDIO!

Waiting a minute month for PPP loan, worked weeks trying to get someone to help, finally they ask for documents already submitted in the portal. We are at ends wit applying with another bank! Do not recommend.

I have applied through Lendio on January 19, 2021 for the second draw for Small Business'. I now have been handed off to the 6th lender for my loan. No-one seems to know what they are doing and the last person that I spoke with sounded like he was 21, super young and completely unprofessional. The only reason why I went with this company the second time is because I watched a video that the owner, Brock Blake, made about a month ago. I was informed (by the kid on the phone) that the smaller loans were taking a lot longer because banks didn't want to go through the hassle of dealing with them. Why wasn't this stated in the beginning. Wasting people's time.

Let's see - totally useless - just keep reassigning my loan - never call back. I have had new people call me 1 time and emailed me 10 times and NOTHING. I have sent them my 2019 taxes 3 times and still they keep asking. TOTAL SCAM.

I signed up for round 2 of the PPP through Lendio at least 3-4 weeks ago. I uploaded all of the documents they requested. It took 3-4 weeks for my application to finally get assigned to a person, but it hasn't gotten better. In fact, it's gotten worse. In the last week, I've received 4 emails requesting that I upload ALL of the necessary documents because Lendio cannot proceed with my application. Mind you, I've had these documents uploaded for weeks. Also, you can't complete the application without uploading the documents, so for them to say I haven't uploaded the documents is 100% false.

I wasted months with this sorry company trying to secure a PPP loan. I was told I was one of the first applicants in line when the 2nd round of funds became available. Nothing. Went to Biz2Credit. Got twice as much money already in my bank in less than one week. Same exact documents. No muss, no fuss.

I was approached online by this company Lendio, claiming that they are an agency representative on behalf of the government to administer PPP loans to small businesses from the government funds available. However my experience has been initially good until I submitted all my information and now they keep coming back and telling me I have not sent certain documents which is not the case at all. I am independent schedule C small business owner, one employee. I’ve read some of the reviews here and clearly suspect the same that I am too small and they will not benefit sufficiently from a business a small as mine hence the slow deliberation.

I write because in a nutshell, I am an independent contractor and I applied for a PPP loan through Lendio. After a full month of emailing and calling, trying to make sure all my documentation was in and correct, I finally was told (as an aside) by an employee after many attempts to find out the status of my application that Lendio does not handle PPP loans for independent contractors. This is after a FULL MONTH of trying to find out my application status, and having three different representatives assigned to my application (I only know this because three different names were listed as my representative on my account page on their website over the period of the month) that never even once responded to my emails or voicemail messages.
