Squirrel Money Borrower Reviews
About this CompanySquirrel is not a tech start-up. We’ve been in the business of helping Kiwis borrow money since 2008.
Squirrel was born during the Global Financial Crisis so we’ve got a natural cynicism about the economy and being prudent. We’ve worked hard for our clients and built a strong and trusted brand in the Auckland housing market, arranging over $2 billion in mortgages. And along the way we’ve also won a heap of awards.
Our business is all about helping Kiwis make better financial decisions.
Peer-to-peer – or as we like to call it, person-to-person lending, was an obvious next step for us. It gives everyday investors better returns at the same time as saving borrowers their hard-earned money. By putting Loan Shield in place and building a world class IT platform (the Squirrel Money Marketplace) we also take looking after our investors’ money seriously.
Squirrel p2p lending is about us challenging lending traditions to create more value for our clients. It’s not revolutionary or scary, it’s just personal lending, done better. We believe in total transparency and you’ll find we’re honest and open about how we work, where our funding comes from and what’s happening with your money.

We had a great advisor Tim Martin who was easy to contact, friendly and willing to help. We are really glad he was able to assist us with our loan and would happily recommend him to anyone in need.
My only feedback is that I wish the loan was pre-approved like a regular bank loan.

Overall great and quick service!
The only issue I had was that the loan documents ended up in the span folder with only 24 hours to be signed. I was not expecting this documents and did not find them in time. I though emails were already coming in fine and the sender to be recognized as 'safe'.
Perhaps giving clients a clear heads up that they can expect this quick expiring documents to be sent soon and to check their junk box frequently would help resolving this issue.
Apart from this small issue, I am overall very satisfied so far!
Thanks!

The online system could do with some tweaks. We are home owners but do not live in our home, so whilst we can get a homeowner's loan there is a question asking if we own the home we live in, which if we answer correctly prevents us going further. Also if you do have to switch to a different loan type none of the info you've given so far is taken over, you have to start again. Once you finished it tells you you have logged in from a different computer, even though this is the only time you have logged in, this made me think someone else must have hacked the system and logged in first, so that message could be changed.

Such an easy & efficient process. Very happy with the interest rate offered & money was in my account by the end of the day.

The application process was easy and super fast. Just the right amount of questions to get an accurate quote. Interest rate was the best compared to competitor quotes.
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
