1 Rodrigo T.  · Falsely advertising payday loans – Apparently under maintenance for 24 months now yet they falsely advertise as providing you with loans 24/7
5 Leanne A.  · Fantastic – Have used them for years and cant complain and understanding
1 Chelle  · Absolutely useless – Applied 3 days ago. Had to call them 4 times. They lost emails that were there yesterday. Just useless...would not recommend them
1 Muzdog  · The same – I have had 4 loans with them paying them all back on time yet I just got declined for one due to the fact I didn't meet their lending criteria.
1 Hayz  · Declined Loan – I got declined because I had too many short term loans with them but I always paid them back on time very disappointed. Never again!
1 Cameron Roy  · They suck! – They take forever and there systems suck at the best of timse better off with nimble or jacaranda finance i have found

Angry – I try to contact them by phone about my loan but kept me on hold for more than 20 minutes, didn't even talk to a person and I even email them. Worse customer service I had deal with

Crooks – These guys are legal robbers. They prey on the desperate and ruin their credit ratings by introducing credit checks without advising the customer. Previous customers would assume that this wouldn’t happen as it didn’t last time. Show details

Always helpful – Easy online applications, as soon as you hit send you get a SMS advising they have received the application. Usually within a few hours have a response and cash in my account that day. Easy to manage repayments over a set time.  Show details

Easy, Fast, Affordable – I have used Ferratum about 5 times now. Each time I have applied for a loan online. It's so easy and the money is in your nominated bank that day, it does not take long.

Didn't know they started doing credit checks – I frequently like to use them because it was short term lending for me and no credit checks. I'm trying to keep my credit score above board. I applied for a loan and then got a message that my credit score has changed. Nooooooo! I wish they had highlighted that they would be doing a credit check. The amount I applied to borrow isn't worth the enquiry on my credit report. So gutted. Never using them again. Show details

Legal criminals – These guys are just criminals. Prey in desperate people and then ruin their life.warning keep away from these guys. You will pay back nearly 50% interest once u have finalised the loan. Worst lender in Australia

Will not recommend – I paid my first loan ($1900) total amount paid was over $3000. Re-applied ; no changes in my circumstances , and guess what I got declined. So yes so much for customer value. Slated something about lending criteria. Anyway don't support them. Show details

Useless – Needed help desperately to fix my car. I have been regular customer for years. I earn more than when I got my last loan, I have less dependants as they have moved out, never missed a payment and finished loans early. etc this time I don’t qualify. What. When I need it the most to repair my car. Maybe if actual human beings assessed people situations and not computers they may be more understanding Show details

Upset – I've never had an account nor am I interested in one. You keep contacting me regarding my account. Please stop bloody contacting me as it is getting to the point of harassment now.

What an awful company – I had a payment bounce back into my account as I moved the funds into the direct debit account a few hours after the payment had been taken (05/11). I left a message on Sunday and then again tried to fix up the payment today (08/11). I spoke to Gabriel who had no empathy for an honest mistake and stood fast on charging a $55.00 missed payment fee.… Read more

No one applies to payday loans unless they are in a tough financial situation already so charging such an outrageous fee when a customer is trying to rectify the situation is just an awful way to gouge customers.

I hope with everything I have that this company is shut down for preying on people in a tough situation. Ferratum - I hope you and your operators go take a long hard look in the mirror.

A So Annoying Company! – My info was sold to this company from another loan Co which has declined my application, I have asked them to stop ANNOYING me. They have send me SMS on a daily basis as well by email, requesting to apply for loan, what a joke, if there is a minus rating that I can rate, you’ll get a -5 star. Stop sending me sms and email, I am not interested in your product.

Stay Away!!! – They couldn't do direct debit on my card which was not my fault, could be just a glitch In the system, but still charged me double, they kept using the same excuse when clearly there was money enough to pay 5 times payment in my account. So I told them I prefer to pay by depositing the money into their account which I did always before the due… Read more

date until it was finished. Now they want me to borrow more from them lol. No thank you. One of is not trustworthy and it's not me.

Conned to pay out early – Had 2 loans that were paid in full on time ,never missed a payment. Got E-mail stating that if i paid out my loan early i would receive gift card and new loan would be approved. Paid out the remainder of the loan. 24 hrs later i received a notification that loan was paid out in full. So applied for another loan straight away, REJECTED immediately… Read more

because i didn't meet their lending criteria. WTH ! Tried again in case i hit wrong button .Same result. Phoned their customer support and got the attitude that i was interrupting their day. Well one good thing to come out of it, don't have to deal with them again and its money in my pocket and not theirs from no on.

Disgraceful – I had a letter stating I defaulted on a loan I know nothing about. Seems anyone can scan a bank statement change the name and address to someone else and get a loan. I now await a police investigation and they are also looking into how easily people can get a loan using innocent people details.

STAY AWAYYYY – Omg.. SO BAD! I rang them at one point to find out some more info. in the end I said I didn’t want to go through with the loan and then they called me at work and my employer answered. Why call my employer when I don’t even want your loan?! STAY AWAY

Closed account had debt owing? – Had a loan paid out and closed early with ferratum, got an email 2 months later saying I had outstanding debt and it was being transferred to debt collection with a credit file deduction! Had to call them up and explain I had a txt from them stating I had paid my loan in full..... I’m just lucky I had proof and I had checked my emails in time before my credit file was reduced for nothing I had done!!! Show details

This company will rip you off with fees! – If you are just one day late you get wacked with hefty overdue fees by Ferratum and Ezidebt. If you want to pay by credit card they charge $19 dollar process fee. Check the contract before you sign as they are totally inflexible with fees.

Disgusting organisation – Well what can you say about this second rate organisation that it is and should not be allowed to operate. Beware of loans off them!!!! In fact don't apply for one unless you wanna get ripped off.

Rip off Merchants – Pack of rip off merchants...they have hefty fees for every method you pay and are incompetent on the phone. Unlike nimble if you miss a payment they don’t give you 24 hours to rectify it without charging a 50 dollar dishonour fee and an exidebit fail fee of 15 dollars. Go elsewhere...as soon as they loose all their customers they will become insolvent.

Wont lend again – I have had about 5 loans with this mob all paid out in full and nearly all before the payment period.tried to get another loan the other day was declined they say their lending criteria has changed so someone who has paid back on time or b.f. time everytime is no longer eligible.what a bunch of goons dont bother with these time wasters.

Downhill – Ferratum once upon a time were great to deal with.. very fast approvals and really friendly customer service. I last applied months ago as I urgently needed medication, applying for the smallest loan they offer I received a phone call requesting I increase the loan amount.. whilst very tempting this really falls under irresponsible lending… Read more

which I regretfully didn’t take further. A reputable company shouldn’t be encouraging customers to loan amounts they can’t pay back.

Anyway.. I fell on some hard times financially around the time repayments were due. Staff were so unfriendly and began adding ridiculous fees after declaring financial hardship.. they didn’t care though anything to make extra money.

Moral of the story.. don’t lend unless you really have to and even then don’t take out a small loan. I’ve learnt my lesson and will never deal with these low life thieves again. :)

Really good to deal with!! – I recently had a few defaults added to my credit due to poor choices and a change of income. I found Ferratum through a google search and was pleasantly surprised by how easy the webpage was to use. I have been able get a few loans in the last few months successfully to help pay rent while I find a full time job. They're quite easy to talk to… Read more

via the chat option and realistic. I prefer to chat online as talking on the phone Regarding my situation is embarrassing.
