Overall Rating: 4.2 / 5 (Excellent)

Fiona offers a secure loan search platform that makes applying for a personal loan quick and easy. One of its standout features is its comparison feature, which gives customers real-time information on loan offers from top providers. Most importantly, Fiona helps customers get matched with the loan they need. Although Fiona is a relatively young company, it originated over $600M in personal loans in 2019 alone. It offers consumers multiple channels of communication, including phone, email, and a web form. However, although its website does have an FAQ section, it lacks good informational articles that might educate consumers on the ins and outs of personal loans. The company has partnered with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Amex, Lending Club, Upgrade, SoFi, and Freedom Plus, which gives it a vote of confidence in our book.

Fiona Loan Specifics

Loan Specifics - 4.5 / 5

Fiona connects people who are seeking personal loans with banks and other marketplaces so that they can compare loan offers. The lenders recommended by Fiona can provide loan amounts of $1,000 - $250,000 for terms of 2 to 7 years. The company's interface is particularly easy to use and provides fast quotes with minimal information. Though prospective customers must provide a social security number, the initial inquiry will not result in a hard credit pull. After this, the loan details will completely depend on the chosen lender. In some cases funds can be disbursed via direct deposit by the next business day, making Fiona one of our faster personal loan marketplaces.

Fiona Qualification

Qualifications & Flexibility - 4 / 5

Fiona evaluates prospective customers' credit scores, credit usage, and financial history in order to prequalify them for a loan. After that, customers are automatically directed to a specific lender or lenders. In some cases, customers will be referred to another marketplace. Beyond this, lenders have their own list of qualifications. Some might require information about the applicant's educational background and more specific employment information. Optimal debt-to-income ratios and minimum FICO scores will also vary by lender. Since the prequalification requires only a soft pull, it could be instructional for consumers to see what sizes and types of loans they may qualify for.

2/16/18 Don't waste your time! This is just a junk referral company that give's you small amount loan offers. My credit score is in the 720's and the best they could offer me is a $5000 loan to consolidate some credit card debt. Who has just has $5000 worth of credit card debt? I know somebody does but not many of us!

I cannot comment because I have no experience for this provider. I could comment if loan is approved.

This place is a bogus bunch of venture vultures. They quote a very reasonable interest rate and terms up to 84 months, Then they make you fill out tons of nonsense and send in verification of identity (which you can't get erased) then they will offer you some crappy 16% loan with 36 month terms. I have an 800+ credit score. The whole thing is a fraud, Stay away at all costs.

Penny Hoarder article said to try this company to consolidate high interest debt to a LOWER interest, as low as 4.99%. I applied and our credit is good, with no late payments. We were offered a loan at 27%!!! HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP??? WHAT A JOKE!!
