Fantastic Customer Service

I’ve been with Close Finance for a number of years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! I’ve always had the pleasure of dealing with Marie Booth and her customer service is fantastic! Whenever I’ve gone to her she listens and puts your case forward taking into consideration your circumstances and for me the outcome has always been the best result! Marie and the team see you as a person and not just a statistic, they look at your whole picture when making a decision. Thank you Marie and team 😊

Exceptional service at Close Finance CI

I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services of Close Finance, and I must say the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I reached out, my concerns were addressed with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. The process was very quick and easy, making it stress-free experience.

Marie, in particular, stood out with her outstanding customer service. Her warmth and attentiveness made me feel valued, not just as another client, but as someone whose needs were genuinely cared for. It's not my first time using their services, and each visit has been consistently positive, marked by a welcoming atmosphere and a dedicated staff.

I wholeheartedly recommend Close Finance to anyone seeking financial services. I am confident that others will enjoy the same level of excellence and personal attention that I have experienced.

Thank you

Outstanding customer Services

On Friday, 8th August 2025, around 2:30 PM, I visited Cleone to urgently request a loan for a vehicle, as my car had broken down and I was in immediate need of transportation that same day. Cleone went above and beyond to assist me, showing exceptional dedication and support throughout the process.
So I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for all Cleone help and support, Cleone, truly went above and beyond; those steps up and down, and the dedication to help me out didn't go unnoticed.
That's what I call outstanding customer service.
Once again, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. In the end I had a car🙂

Really helpful and fast customer service.
Applied yesterday and got it all sorted today. Could've been done on the same day if I hadn't been a bit slow.
