The whole process was seamless

The whole process was seamless. I completed an online application which was super easy, received a response within 12 hours. My preferred communication was via email and Justin was on the ball assisting me. The background checks were done and it wasn’t long before I was driving away in my new car.

I've used Close Finance for a number of years across personal, motor and business lending and on each occasion, Marie Booth has been a shining star.

Her approach to Customer Service is one which any firm would benefit from. Diligent, prompt and her advice is always delivered with a smile.

Marie is a credit to Close and makes the process effortless.
