FAQ’s

How long does the entire application process take?

The online application is quick and intuitive, only taking a few minutes to complete. Once you’ve submitted it, you’ll be able to see customized lending solutions based on your needs and profile. If approved for financing, you could receive funding within 24 hours of applying.

How does applying affect my credit score?

Completing an application with Lendzi won’t affect your credit score since it doesn’t result in a hard inquiry. However, a partner lender may perform a hard credit check, which could cause your score to temporarily drop by a few points.

Can I apply with poor credit?

Yes, Lendzi works with borrowers with all different types of credit. Having limited or poor credit could limit your options, but Lendzi strives to offer solutions to any candidate with any credit profile.

Customer Support

Lendzi offers superior customer service, as indicated by previous and current customer reviews online. On the Better Business Bureau website, the company is accredited with an A rating and 4.79 out of 5 stars. On Trustpilot, customer reviews are largely positive, with 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 584 reviews.

Lendzi makes the financing process as easy as possible from beginning to end. The team is professional, responsive, and friendly, and the commitment to customer satisfaction is evident.

There are also several ways to contact Lendzi, including a live chat option, an online contact form, a phone number, fax, and email. During business hours, the team is quick to respond, and there is typically not a long wait time on the phone.

Privacy & Security

Both Lendzi (DBA of DH & RK Investments LLC) and its mobile app offer customer privacy and confidentiality. The company’s goal is to prevent information leaks or misuse. To that end, they offer a secured website and encrypted application process. They also have a transparent privacy policy and terms of use.

Individuals who register online or use the mobile app agree to let Lendzi and its partners contact them via email, SMS or phone. This communication is primarily meant to offer product and service information, including promotional offers by the company and its connected third parties. If a current customer has their account deactivated, communication will stop.

Lendzi does not sell or disclose personal information to outside parties. The company also prevents unauthorized collection or usage of personal data as much as possible.

As a marketplace, Lendzi does not offer additional protections to consumers who apply for products or services through its partners. Any privacy and security policies are dependent on the individual organization at that point.

In Conclusion

Lendzi is a customer-first company that connects prospective borrowers with the best lender for their financing needs. They make it easy to find loan products — small business loans, personal loans, real estate loans, startup business loans, disaster assistance loans, etc. —, apply, and receive the necessary funding all in one place.

Like most marketplaces, Lendzi doesn’t maintain responsibility for what happens to its customers’ data once they leave the page (such as when they go to a partner’s website). However, Lendzi has an overwhelmingly positive reputation with past and current customers online. They are also transparent about their process and have several easy ways to contact them with any questions or complaints.
