Looking at 401 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company.

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.

What made the experience great was the turn around time. Funds were dispersed as said and it's easy for payments to be made. I would like to have a payment account I can see and where to make additional payments of the loan amount.

Smooth process with top tier customer support team.

I don't usually leave reviews but wanted to leave one for Happy Money because the process and customer support has been fantastic.

The process is from start to finish is very quick. I had the loan in my bank account within a few days after application.

Now, what really surprised me was the customer support. Life happens and I got caught in layoffs. It was completely unexpected but put a huge strain on my cash flow.

Their insurance claim process covered 3 month with proper documentation during these tough times as the job market was not in my favor. I was able to pause for 2 months as I got a job to create some buffer and got back on track.

I highly recommend their loan services.

The most incompetent loan company I have ever dealt with. I jumped through hoops for three days with these individuals, providing every piece of documentation requested, including pay stubs, two tax forms, and bank statements with direct deposits from payroll highlighted. Yet, I was denied due to "cannot verify income." I have never had an income verification issue or any other issue with other loan companies I've used. A complete clown show.

Getting a loan from Happy money was one of my happy time in life. I had high interest rate credit cards and the loan help me to paid them off. I hope I don't go back using those cards again. The most important aspect of it is that the interest rate was very low.
