About SoLo Funds

Written by the company

SoLo is the leading community finance platform focused on working class communities. Our members borrow on their own terms and lend to make industry leading returns or a social impact.

SoLo has over +3 million users, +2 million loans funded with 82% of its members being from underserved zip codes. As one of the few certified Benefit Corporations in financial services, SoLo has emerged as the new financial service leader on pace to deliver $1B back into working class communities by Q1 ‘26.

The traditional financial system has failed our communities, excluding them from returns and access to short term cash. SoLo created something different, something more human. They went back to the basics, creating a community where people could support each other financially. SoLo calls this community finance.

I have $1011 in uncollected loan…

I have $1011 in uncollected loan balances and Solo is not helping me collect my balances. Furthermore, I don't know how they are scoring, but one of my biggest outstanding loans was to an individual with a Solo Score in the 80s and 30 loans repaid, but my loan just so happens to be when this guy decides to break bad. What are the odds of that?

Dear Phillip,

Thank you for reaching out.

The 6 outstanding loans have been assigned to a 3rd party collection agency for continued recovery efforts. Recovery efforts remain ongoing through the collection process.

The SoLo score is a reflection of the borrowers historical repayment performance and overall behavior on the marketplace.
While the score is intended to help lenders assess risk and predict future repayment behavior, it should not be viewed as a guarantee that any loan will be repaid.

Thank You,

Due to an emergency

Due to an emergency, I found myself in need of help. I had heard about the SoLo Funds app and network and registered. The process was very easy. But what was most important to me is that it is a place where one can find empathy and human connection. My request was filled (so grateful for my lender) and repaid as promised. I look forward to being a lender in the network in the very near future. I highly recommend SoLo Funds.

Dear Megan,

We developed SoLo to help people using something different, something more human, and we are glad to hear from you that it works.
We were tired of financial services not designed for our needs and the lack of trans­parency, simplicity, and unfair terms.

Thank You for being part of our community where people support each other.

The accuracy and efficiency exceed expectations

The accuracy and the efficiency have been beyond my expectation . I'm someone who has trolled bottom for even $5 ..that I have moved up to $200 in three payments is astonishing. It is especially compelling that, when I offered for my third loan, it was filled before I could even assess what had happened ...in this world of digits and lack of audio support solo funds has been truly spirational in terms of our community,'ability to help each other in an honest and direct way
thank you so much fun solo funds
