I was pleased to receive the loan approval so fast. The process was painless. I expected to be declined but was surprised to be offered the loan I needed for debt consolidation. I would recommend them to my friends. I am sure they will be surprised with the ease in following the instructions to process the loan application.

I needed a quick and easy debt consolidation loan for my credit card debt. I applied and was approved the same day. Funds were in my bank account the next day. Other lenders would look at my credit card debt and deny my application even though the loan was to consolidate the credit card debt. Upgrade approved the loan with the stipulation that a certain amount go towards the credit card debt, which was the intent of the loan in the first place. Very quick and easy process! Would definitely recommend!

Upgrade pre-approved me really fast with my offers and the only main thing I had an issue with is trying to get picture of photo id in the spot where it tells you to launch camera. Had to take picture of id and send it by email. Confirmed and verified everything next business and said I would get a email within 1 to 4 days after final review to tell you if loan was completely approved and by next morning said I got email and by next day after that money was in my bank account. Took a total of 3 days and so far I'm really happy.

Forcing someone to sign up for a bank account that you have no interest in getting just to get a loan is ridiculous. There is a reason why I got an account where I bank at and not at the one you force people to use to just get a loan. Who cares if they fund part of the loan. We sign up for a loan not another bank account.

I have "autopay" OFF in my account, I have screenshots. And I had called this credit card company 2 months prior to turn it off, they confirmed it, I confirmed it. I made a 10 day prior to 'monthly due date', and they took their monthly payment 4 days after. A debit/payment they were not authorized to take, as autopay was off! They actually stole the un-designated-autopay, from me. If any of other vendors with my bank account access did this, well. They did. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY, THEY WILL STEAL FROM YOU.

Easy application process. They will even do a soft credit pull to tell you what your likelihood is of being preapproved and at what rate. Once your process is approved they deposit the funds directly into your bank account. Customer service is helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I have had multiple loans. Am happy and would continue doing business with them. I highly recommend them.
