If I could give zero stars I would

If I could give zero stars I would. I paid out the car loan a year ago and am now trying to trade in my car only to find Pepper Finance have not removed the security interest on the car. This now means I can't trade in the car. I have been on the phone with 5 people so far who have all said it will be done in an hour and no one has actually done it. Absolutely disgusting and I will tell anyone who asks to avoid them like the plague.

An absolute breath of fresh air, amazing

Honestly for a finance company or lender if you prefer these guys/gals they/them whatever else you want to identify as, aIt has been the most pleasant easy to deal with group, the website is easy to navigate to check on your account what's upcoming or if have adjustments to make even calling on the phone. Which is something I never thought I'd say about dealing with customer service over the phone normally you expect to be on hold for hours only to be transferred and put on hold and so on and so on but this was so simple I called got through to someone almost immediately did the usual identity check and low and behold the same person I spoke to took the call handled my inquiry and got me an answer on the spot omg.
Thank you so much looking forward to dealing with you and your team on future purchases

Very amateurish service

Very amateurish service. Was charged fees because they recorded details incorrectly. Charged fees because they changed due amount without informing us. I’m sure there are more professional lenders out there. Use them instead

The service was amazing. This is my first home loan and I had no idea what I was doing. Cameron guided me through everything, and explained everything I didn't know. I would gladly recommend pepper mortgage to my friends and family.

Pepper Money still values human judgment

Pepper Money has been an absolute breath of fresh air in a world where big banks let computers make all the decisions. After being declined by major banks without so much as a phone call, I felt completely written off. Pepper Money changed that.

They took the time to look at my situation as a human being, not just a number on a screen. Real people spoke with me, worked through the numbers, the details, and genuinely tried to understand how they could help. That level of care is rare in finance today.

Because of their willingness to listen and assess my case individually, I’ve been given a fresh start. This is exactly what a financial institution should be. Pepper Money still values human judgment.

Thank you, Pepper Money, for seeing people not just data.

Compassionate, respectful and genuinene customer service reps

The employees I spoke with from both the general and hardship teams couldn’t have been more helpful, caring and respectful. Simon and I think it was Angela or Denise (sorry I have forgotten the first person I spoke to, their name) both blew me away with how respectful and helpful they were considering the challenging situation I have found myself in.
