What consumers say about Avant

N. of Seward, AK who said this about the process: “I had a quick and easy loan process with no hiccups. Yes, the interest rate is high but is on par with most of these personal loan companies.”
Atha of Hiram, GA, another ConsumerAffairs reader, added to the praise: “The application process was easy and quick. They rushed to assist my needs and the payments were just right. They are the best in professional quality service and do their best to answer each/any questions you may ask easily.” about the speed of the process.
Others expressed poor experiences with customer service, including ConsumerAffairs reader Alicia of Raleigh, NC, who had this to say: “The customer service is horrible. The agents are very smart mouth and sassy. Customers are not valued.”

Is Avant a scam?
Avant is a legitimate personal loan and credit card provider in business since 2012. There are no known scam reports as of 2/23/2023. However, in 2019, the Federal Trade Commission returned more than $3.7 million to customers due to falsely claiming the company would accept credit card payments when they did not.
Customers should always exercise caution when considering taking out a loan and should carefully read all details, including terms and conditions, before signing the loan agreement.
