This is what customer service is all about... If I can extoll your virtues to the people in charge, pass this along. Not every institution of lending need be so corporate as to forget the human quality.
Mitch, LendUp Customer
This is truly a good honest company that cares about their customers and I could tell that you see us as real people.
Eric B., LendUp Customer
