Anastasia, was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Anastasia kept me informed during the lending process and provided some great options for relief. The lending process was super fast and efficient. The funds were deposited the next day and my payment was very reasonable with a low interest rate. I really appreciate the help during our slow season.
Thank you so much for sharing your outstanding experience! We're delighted to hear how Anastasia's friendly and knowledgeable approach made your lending process fast and efficient. It's fantastic to know that you appreciated the prompt fund deposit and reasonable payment terms, especially during your slow season.

On Deck and Scott in particular have been a great resource for my company to grow. From the application process to funding was less than 30 minutes. Partnering with Ondeck who is building my business credit as well is one of the smartest decisions I have made. Thanks again Scott for all your help. Contractors who are on the 60 to 90 day pay cycle need to call Ondeck.

Anastasia was awesome to work with, understood what I needed and got a package put together that was awesome. The process is fast and easy to do.

The best part is that you get options and the walk you through each product and make sure you understand and then you select what you want yourself.

I worked with Ana, and she has been great in helping us get the funding we need. The process was very easy, and we had various options presented to us quickly. Once everything was selected, our loan was funded the same day, and we received proceeds the following day. Throughout the process, Ana was very quick to reply, and provided all of the information we had requested, and gone over everything in depth.

The company is not licensed to lend in New York State. It requires a license with DFS for certain loans and lines of credit. They avoided licensure because their lending practices are illegal. This is exactly the type of thing the Attorney General in NY would love to hear about. Basically, most loans this company has done in NYS are void and enforceable.

DO NOT USE OnDeck! They are predatory. They prey on people who have nowhere else to turn. 42% interest is such a joke. I called to ask to have my payment pushed back a few days because I was waiting on some invoices from customers and the lady told me they would be charging almost 200 dollars per day on top of what I already owe.

Borrowed $45,000 10 days ago, ready to pay off the loan and finding out that I have to pay $61,920 (or a charge of $16,920 for 10 days of financing).

Stay away as they are a grab and go company. I did 4 loans with them. All paid in full. Never late. On my last loan someone did fraud. My account locked until fraud was resolved. After 2 weeks I got my new card. I immediately paid the missed payment in full. I also had let them know immediately what happen. They still denied any future loans. I felt the money that was paid was to build a relationship. Instead it was a grab and go. Stay away and look elsewhere. Also a really high pay back.

The worst company to do business with ever!! This company is absolutely misleading and misrepresents the qualifications they based their decisions only and only on the personal credit. Even though I have very good credit and exceptional payment history some underwriter in a basement decided that is not good enough! I strongly believe that this company engages in fraudulent inducement practices, which are absolutely illegal!!! Don't waste your time with this company. There's plenty of other options and much better companies that are honest and trustworthy. OnDeck is absolutely not trustworthy and absolutely terrible.

The previous comments about this company being predators is absolutely the case. I have had some health issues and had to shut down parts of my business, which led to a reduction in income. The only thing I needed from them was to change my loan payments from weekly to monthly so I can have some relief from overdraft fees. They were unable to change anything. It's bad enough they hit me with 50% interest when I was desperate for cash, but then not to work with me when I needed some assistance makes them absolutely awful. The only solution they were pushing me for was to "renew" or refinance. Why in the hell would I refinance if they are unwilling to work with me and pay interest rates that should be illegal?

If I could give zero stars I would. I reached out to them to set up a line of credit prior to me leaving for a 6-week period to recover from surgery to help take the pressure off. They knew why I had taken out the line of credit as well as the date of the surgery and they changed the terms of my account the week I went out on surgery (or at least that is when I noticed them) so that I couldn't withdraw any funds to cover payroll. I tried to set up payments through a second account. There was nowhere to do that in the customer portal and I was informed by customer support they couldn't support payments from multiple accounts and refused to give me even a routing/account number for my line of credit. I had just finished doing all of that with my primary bank, credit card company, mortgage company, and my business' credit card processors in under 30 minutes total without having to speak to a human being. I find their excuse of "Security Protocols" to be a joke.

This is a completely predatorial loan service. Their interest rates are through the roof and hard to calculate. If you make a payment mid-way through the month it still pays on interest instead directly to the principal amount. When you make a payment it takes days to post which means you get hit with more interest so if you try and pay the amount off in full it keeps you making a ton of small payments for the built-up interest that accumulates while your payment posts. It literally won't let you pay it off. It just continues to strong-arm interest out of you. Avoid this lender at all cost. They are also associated/owned by a company called Enova that has a massive amount of class action lawsuits for violating lender regulations and for stealing money out of people's accounts.

Right now, I am in the middle of a big problem with this company. They don’t seem to care about a customer. Long story short right now I am in the middle of speaking with a lawyer because my business wasn’t doing so great last year with this company and I was past due and we had been emailing back-and-forth until we finally came up with a payment arrangement and for some reason, I was also transferred to a senior negotiator which I did not understand and they said that my account was in the charge off status. So I then continued to Make payment arrangements with the senior negotiator, but then I come to find out that this company reported me as a charge off on my TransUnion.
I declined to keep paying them until they remove that from my TransUnion. I sent them a letter to their corporate office and they never responded back to me and I stated in that letter if they could please remove the charge off so that I can continue making these payment arrangements because we were trying to avoid this going into the charge off status since the beginning. I was very compliant in everything they wanted me to do so that I wouldn’t be reported negatively on my credit report. I don’t think this is fair and there litigator Lawyer reached out to me mentioning all these questions to see if they can possibly qualify into getting me into a payment arrangement and that’s not what is going on here.
I was already in a payment arrangement and what I need Ondeck to do is remove that from my TransUnion so that I can continue making payments. So currently, I will be speaking to my lawyer because this is not fair and not a way to treat a customer that is willing to cooperate and has been cooperating and they’re going to go and report me falsely when that was what we were trying to avoid in the first place.

OnDeck like others in this space charge predatory interest rates. I was told they would get better once you establish a relationship, but they really don't. They charge a ridiculous amount of interest with weekly payments and short terms. Only a very small business segment can actually flip the money from these types of lenders and make it work.

This company has shoddy business practices, and very poor "accounting" processes. During my loan term, I received a fraudulent email from someone claiming to be with OnDeck, and I only caught the fraud because that person was using MY personal cell phone in his signature line as his contact information. I alerted OnDeck - they did nothing.
My business began struggling, and in February 2023, a law firm that misspelled words pertinent to their business, like "summons" contacted me via email, and sent me an agreement to pay the debt off in six months. I accepted, and paid off the loan in July, 2023. I never received proof that the debt was paid, and they never provided proof that they had released any/all UCC liens. Then, 10 months later, I received an email from them that they intended to sue me unless I paid off the balance that I had already paid (I have all receipts and proof of wire transfer payments). Now, no one seems to know those payments were made. I've reported OnDeck to Consumer Protection Financial Services. This company obviously has no regard for personal or business information, allowing it to be compromised, but worse yet, they have no regard for simple accounting practices.
Fraudulent collectors have targeted OnDeck along with many other lending companies. The fraudsters tend to take on names of trusted lenders so that they can appear to be reputable and trustworthy. By looking at your review, it appears that you may have been contacted by a fraudulent collector.

Be VERY WARY of this company! Read the FINE PRINT in their contract(s). On Deck LOVES to sell your personal and business information! They will NOT respond to requests to discontinue doing so. So get ready to be BOMBARDED with spam calls tying up your personal and business phones! Spam emails galore as well. Notice how they don't address details of customer complaints. They either point to the contract or that the CUSTOMER should call them, not vice versa as it should be.
I was a LOYAL customer for almost a DECADE. Multiple term loans taken out and repaid on time. NEVER a missed payment. They offered a line of credit. I accepted. Over time credit limit increased. Then suddenly and without notice or explanation line of credit was frozen. Again, NEVER a missed payment EVER! My personal credit score is exceptional, so when they blamed my "industry" for their decision, I opened an account at my credit union. I guess my credit union values payment history and credit score more when making loan decisions. Go figure!
When I first opened the account, customer service was EXCEPTIONAL. My account manager reached out to me frequently. She was GREAT! My account manager changed 4 or 5 years ago. In that time, I haven't spoken to him or received an email from him EVER. I don't HAVE to pay their crazy high interest rates, but again, I was a loyal customer! From a business point of view, I wonder what their customer acquisition costs are, because they seem very comfortable letting LONG TIME customers go without any effort on their part to keep them.

I applied for a very modest $50K in a line of credit to help support and grow my business that has been doing the best it's ever done in terms of revenue and I was denied because I had an insufficient funds on one of the bank statements I provided for proof of income. I run a business and money moves in and out and sometimes more money goes out temporarily and then comes back in. I feel violated that I gave all of my personal and business information to this company who based on my excellent credit, high monthly revenue and time in business was pretty much guaranteed to be approved for either a loan or line of credit. I didn't need a loan. A line of credit would have been perfect for the ebbing of a growing business. How OnDeck doesn't get that I don't understand. You would think that in light of other factors, the insufficient funds issue would have been given the opportunity to be discussed and explained prior to denial. Bad experience.

Put my line of credit on hold for NO REASON! Claimed it was because I had another loan. I am a small business. We need capital to run! All payments were made on time! Never late or missed on both line of credit and loan from Crestmonth which I found out owned part of OnDeck? Hmm. Received a line of credit from OnDeck and it really helped us as a small business. This set us into a financial hardship as we were trying to get through slow season. Hoping I don't need their money in April when they will supposedly reactivate the loan.

I was referred to OnDeck by my payroll company Gusto. The purpose was to apply for a PPP loan. The process was easy to understand, mostly automated, and went very smoothly. Once I had submitted my documents, I was contacted shortly thereafter by a representative from OnDeck who helped me with the agreements and closing details. I had been a little concerned because I had accidentally put the wrong number of employees in the online application, but this was readily corrected when I let the representative know.
I was very pleased and rather surprised that the whole thing only took about a week, from the time I started the application until the time that the PPP loan was in my bank account. I have a friend who went through a similar process for his PPP loan with another bank and his process took several weeks. I am very happy to fully recommend OnDeck.
