My experience with Close Finance was…

My experience with Close Finance was not positive. I would not recommend them. I found the interest rates high, communication aggressive, and there was a lack of transparency. I wouldn’t use them again.

Matthew from the motor underwriting team.

Matthew is a credit to the team, he’s always polite, engaging and explains any situation very well. His easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to deal and chat with, and keeps me coming back to Close finance everytime.

Close finance would be a lesser place without him, for sure.

Exceptional help in a difficult situation

I’ve used their loan services three times now, and each application was approved without issues. Every experience has been smooth and reassuring, which is why I keep coming back.

What really stood out to me was the level of care and professionalism, especially from Marie, who handled everything. She didn’t treat me like just another client—she genuinely saw me as a person. She took my situation seriously, listened, and gave me confidence that they would be able to help.

At a time when I was stranded and urgently needed a car for work, they made it happen. I’m truly grateful for the support and would highly recommend their service to anyone looking for a team that actually cares.

Highly Professional and Efficient – Great Support from Lucy

I have been using Close Finance CI for some time and have always found their service to be reliable and efficient. Most recently, I used them to finance the purchase of a vehicle, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.

Lucy was particularly helpful throughout the process—professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to any questions I had. She ensured everything was handled smoothly and without any issues. I would highly recommend Lucy for her outstanding support and expertise.

I would highly recommend Close Finance CI to anyone seeking a straightforward and dependable finance solution.

Professional, friendly and personal service

Marie jumped through hoops to organise financing a business project and without her professionalism and tireless effort the project wouldn't have got off the ground. Excellent company to deal with.

Forever grateful!

I was grateful for the time, support and professionalism I received from Close Finance, they turned things around for me on the same day to get my dream car on the anniversary of my close relatives passing which is what I wanted to do all along. The hard work and determination and passion for helping me shined through. They called me back to let me know how far up the queue I was to reassure me of the process time and constantly reassured me of the situation. Thank you again, especially Marie, you are a star! X

Superb customer service

After contacting Justin to establish my options he was really helpful, in terms of what was available to me, the terms of which I could take any loan and the turnaround time. When I saw him to sign the relevant documents he was careful to ensure I understood all of the terms and conditions of the loan and what to expect from the company. A credit to Close Finance in Guernsey.
