Kabbage Reviews Summary

The company has garnered significant criticism for its customer service, particularly regarding the handling of PPP loans, with many customers reporting unresponsive support and frustrating experiences in accessing funds. While some reviews highlight the ease of obtaining loans, the high fees and unfavorable terms have led to perceptions of predatory lending practices. Positive feedback is limited, primarily centering on individual staff members who provided assistance. Overall, the sentiment reflects deep dissatisfaction with the company's operational reliability and support, raising concerns about its commitment to small business clients and the integrity of its lending practices.

I took out a 10,000 loan from Kabbage for my business. Each month I paid on time and in 4 cases I paid it back before the due date. At the end of the program it said I was not eligible for a new loan because and I quote, I did not link to enough of there other program accounts? Really? I am a good customer and pay without missing a payment and that's what matters... linking to your other stuff? Bad Program!

We needed financing and signed up with Kabbage. If I did minimum draws of $5,000 or more, we were promised 12 month financing after the initial draw. A few months later and once we were well into using our line, they changed the amortization schedule to 6 months for draws less than $15,000. My line is $25,000 with monthly payments of $5,500/month. Makes it very difficult to pa back...

Your Get Me!
October 28, 2016

Finally, someone has taken the time to understand my business to help me think through my finances and loan strategy. I mean REALLY THINK THROUGH! I called just to find out when my funds would become available and instead I got Greg, "MY" Investment Associate. First off, he is personable, has a sense of humor and my conversation with him flowed smoothly. I never had to repeat myself for him to get what I was talking about. He helped me, by asking some very good questions, to think through the pros and cons of my plan and evaluate my risk. He listened, gave suggestions, provided insight. I never felt rushed or pushed. I felt supported. You are in for a wonderful surprise when you contact Kabbage. Thank you Greg. Thank you Kabbage.

We're a medium sized business that needed fast access to working capital for growth. Our representative Greg B. Was super responsive and very professional. He responded quickly to every email and call and walked us carefully and thoughtfully through how Kabbage works. He even went over both pros and cons so we could make a fully informed decision. We felt absolutely no pressure, just the help we needed. We made the decision and Greg walked us through the online process. This could not have been easier and really helped our business. Thank you Greg and Kabbage!

Very easy process
October 15, 2016

Greg B. Thoroughly explained the process and worked to have my monthly interest rate reduced. I really appreciate his efforts in getting the available funds needed for my business in a timely manner. I am very pleased with how quickly this process was handled.

This was the easiest and most hassle free loan I have ever taken out. Greg Bianchini was super efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I look forward to being able to work with Kabbage in the near future again.

I guess I have to give them 1 star, as there are no zero starts.

I contacted them about a loan for our business. Explained that we are moving our offshore business onshore, etc. Got my approval in 1 day, WOW this is great... but noooo.

They sent the verification, funds will be there in 1 to 3 days, great news. Then the next day they get back and say "We cancelled your loan." Why? Because you have not been in business in the US for a year.

Okay... but I told you that. Then Carlos my customer rep called and gave some lame excuse about the loans are approved by a machine and then a real person looks at it, and when that happened they canceled it as they realized the mistake.

Don't you think they should have done that first? Then he says "Contact us in a year and try again." I'm all over that. To Carlos' credit he finally admitted that they screwed up, as I kept saying that they had made a mistake.

Horrible, horrible service.

I have never had a bank/loan institution even pretend to care about what my needs are. This company is a complete exception to the rule that lenders have to be non-personal robots. I spoke with a real rep this morning (I could actually understand him, because he spoke perfect english), who listened to my dilemma and fixed the situation in 2 minutes. And THEN I got an email from another real person asking how my experience was, and that I could contact him directly if I needed anything. WHAT? I am seriously impressed by this company.

The loan process was fast and totally straight forward. I'm really satisfied I received from this company. Specially appreciate the help from my agent Greg. He was NOT about the fast talk, he made sure I knew what I was doing and answered all my questions. This man basically holds your hand through the process and doesn't let go until you get what you need. Thanks Kabbage and Greg for making my Monday Great.

Great Experience!
July 17, 2016

I shopped around for the best loan and was approved for 5 loans total. Greg who was in charge of my account was super professional and helpful. He gave me all the information I needed and allowed me to do my due diligence, followed up like a pro and as a result earned my business. I would definitely recommend to anyone that is looking to get a loan.

Excellent service!
June 18, 2016

Kabbage did a great job of getting our line of credit approved quickly and easily, and my account manager, Greg Bianchini, walked me through and kept in touch every step of the way to make sure I understood exactly what we were getting, all of our options, and that we got our money when we needed it. Also, their website is excellent - very easy to use, no wasted time, easy to understand and self-serve information. I can't recommend Greg or Kabbage highly enough.

These are done by employees of the company. If you look at each review, the person has only one review. These also come after negative reviews. Trust me as an actual user of KABBAGE, use a different funding source. Please se my previous review.

Always there when I need them!
May 27, 2016

My Kabbage experience has always been a pleasant one. They fund my requests immediately and I pay them on time - makes for a great relationship with both parties doing what they agreed to. I love the ability to fund a loan any time of day - means I can capitalize on great business deals that come my way without having to wait for traditional business hours and loan application processing. Thanks Kabbage!

Kabbage Loans are a great alternative to traditional lending for small business. They've helped our company grow by providing cash for capital expenditures, while offering clear and flexible payment terms.

The secure online account access is intuitive and offers up plenty of information on your loans, payments, and credit amounts available.

Kabbage is peace of mind for small business!
