Overall Rating: 4.4 / 5 (Excellent)

FastPay is a good choice for digital media companies, such as app developers or online publishers. It is particularly well suited to startups that can't qualify for any other traditional loans. All they require is a very low credit score and unpaid invoices. Once FastPay verifies the invoices, 70% of the amount can be delivered in as little as 2 days. However, the company only works with digital media entities, repayment must come within 4 months, and APRs are high.

Loan Options - 4.5 / 5

FastPay is an online lender that provides invoice financing services, but only for businesses in the digital media industry. The company can forward as much as 70% of the outstanding invoices, for up to $100,000. The remaining amount is then paid when the client pays the invoice. This usually translates into a term usually four months or less. The service is ideal, but only for a specific type of tech business that has many outstanding invoices with long payment times.

FastPay Rates & Fees

Invoice Financing

Max APR
52.0%

Average Rates & Fees - 4.4 / 5

FastPay charges a flat 3% monthly fee. Since the terms are usually short, this could translate into a very high APR. However, APRs for short term, poor credit loan products like invoice financing and merchant cash advances customarily have high APRs. If the loaned amount is sure to create revenue quick, paying off the loan as fast as possible is the best course of action.

TERRIBLE! FastPay was the worst decision we ever made. We engaged them to help with your cash-flow constraints, when things got tough and we struggled to maintain payment terms - they filed a lawsuit against company using the shadiest law firm who added almost $20,000 in fees to the our bill just as we were preparing to cut the final check for the entire balance. FastPay has crippled our company, caused unimaginable damage and pain to our staff. STAY AWAY.
