Very easy process, all online and much better interest rates than my usual bank. Contacted me quickly and funds were through within days. Couldn’t be happier with the service.

Dealings were excellent. Extremely helpful when enquiries were made. Quick turnaround time from application to release of monies. Overall a fantastic experience. I have held two loans with Society One and would recommend them without hesitation.

Awesome from start to finish

Awesome from start to finish. Great rates for unsecured loans. Have used them once for one loan. Am on my second loan now and will use them again. Would never use a bank again. These guys are at the cutting edge of personal finance. 10/10

I'd recommend Society one to anyone looking for a personal loan. The application process was fast & the interest rate was way better than the banks could offer.

First Rate

From initiation of my loan to finalisation I cannot speak high enough of Society One. A stress free process from beginning to end and staff who were at all times helpful and all over any queries raised, not to mention great interest rate on an unsecured loan. Thank you Society One!

Unreasonable and unfair

We are currently in a time with record low interest rates and a government telling us to reach out to renegotiate at lower rates. Everyone has reduced theirs except Society One who told me in writing that it is their policy that they "do not negotiate on interest rates under any circumstances". I find that unacceptable and unreasonable so will continue to tell people via reviews that this is how they conduct business. I won't use them again.

Hi Jackie, thank you for your review and we appreciate your feedback.
While we are not reviewing interest rates, we have been and are continuing to provide assistance to all our customers who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic with situations tailored to their needs rather than a one size fits all solution.
Kind regards, Ash @ SocietyOne.

Speedy approval

Speedy approval, great assistance. Interest rate did change but was explained and reasonable.

Great service

Hi, I recently applied for a personal loan through society one, and although the loan was not approved (my fault) the online application was very easy to understand and use and the repayments and interest would have been fair, the team were very helpful and response time was quick well done. I will be definitely re-apply once I tidy a few things up.

Very impressed

I was amazed at how simple the process was, and how quickly my application was resolved. From when I submitted the application, to money in my account, took 3 days - it was far faster than I expected, focussed very quickly on resolving material matters only, and the person I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Would definitely use them again if I needed a loan.

They were very efficient and speedy in the process. Included were some supplementary questions from a staff member by telephone. He was extremely courteous and understanding. Funding was in my bank account 24 hours later. Thank you .

When I first considered using…

When I first considered using SocietyOne I was a bit worried about giving my bank log in details. I checked on trust pilot & everything seemed legit. The experience I had using SocietyOne was absolutely amazing. The application process was easy & straightforward. I received a call from SocietyOne the next day just to clarify a couple of items from my bank statement. Joe was friendly, polite and thorough. After a five minute conversation he said he would submit the loan for approval. Within hours the money was in my account. I have dealt with many different lenders during my life, but none better than SocietyOne. If you need to get a personal loan they are the only people you should consider. Thank you SocietyOne team, you are a credit to your company. If I need finance in the future yours is the only company I would consider. Thanks again
