Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 401 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight the ease and speed of the loan process, from application to receiving funds, often within a few days. Many people appreciate the competitive rates and flexible repayment options, which have helped them consolidate debt and improve their financial situation. The customer service is also consistently praised for being helpful, accessible, and well-informed. However, some customers reported issues with income verification, leading to loan denials despite providing extensive documentation.

There were also isolated instances where customers were dissatisfied with the company's handling of referral rewards or their inability to secure additional funding after a good payment history.

It was a fairly quick and easy process

It was a fairly quick and easy process. When I had a question it was answered rather quickly. So far I would use Happy Money again when I am looking for a loan.

Trustworthy

It was easy to apply and receive the funds. My only issue was that my APR was high even though I have excellent credit. I wasn't allowed to change it either.

Very easy and shame-free

From the moment I asked how much I could be approved for to the final deposit, the entire process was smooth and straightforward. I never felt overwhelmed or like I was signing my life away. I truly appreciate all the agencies involved for giving me the chance to restart without feeling ashamed about my debt.

I wish I could give this company a good review. Initially, the loan process was fast and easy. My loan was funded relatively quickly, but I don’t have much experience with personal loans so I don’t know how long other companies usually take. I believe I was funded within 14 days.
I have to leave a poor review because I recently requested to add additional money onto my personal loan after having completed a 65% payoff of my loan and was denied based on my performance with the company. Mind you I have never missed a payment and the only time that I was late on a payment was when I was making an additional payment to the principal and the payment failed so although I have a record of automatic payments for my loan on the same day every month they still didn’t qualify me for a loan increase. Their reasoning was asinine. I attempted to call in and discussed this with a customer service representative, but they have no power or no desire to reevaluate criteria overall, I am pretty disappointed with my experience.

Easy, Breezy

This was probably one of the easiest experiences with a loan provider that I've ever had. They had good terms and APR's based on what I was getting the loan for, and they were all straight forward and easy to use. The only thing I would like to see different, is a better app, that lets you both download your payment schedule and loan terms. There were a couple of times, I couldn't remember how long my loan was for, and because i wanted to make sure it was paid off on-time, I had to dig around for the original paperwork to see my loan term.
