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...
Hi Brad,
Thank you for your review. We completely understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience our policy change in regards to 12 month terms.

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!
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.
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.
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.
A company that charge 60% interest year! Nothing to say more! Be aware.
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.
Excellent product - Efficient service and helpful staff members and as a result - I`m a very satisfied customer. Straight forward application process.
We have good months and not so good in construction and Kabbage has help us to continue they make it easy to take out what you need whn you need it
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 and I have been associated with them for a long time now. Thanks Ilene
Answer: I definitely would not recommend Kabbage to anyone, but especially to someone starting a new business. The interest and fees will kill your new business before you've even had a chance to get it started. I own a small business (2 employees, $200K in annual sales) that is over 15 years old, and the Kabbage loan I took out for $25K for an expansion nearly bankrupted my business. There are better ways to find funding for a new business - grants are out there for women who want to start a business, you can try your luck at crowdfunding (look at Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Rocket Hub, Crowdrise, Angellist, Quirky, and others), approach local friends or family members who would like to invest in your business (you can use ZimpleMoney, com to keep track of their loan payments). Kabbage is a stupid and dangerous way to start up a business. Only a complete idiot would do that.
Answer: Thanks for your question, John. Kabbage's loans are fundamentally different in structure from a traditional loan. Interest isn't charged on the loan balance, and a customer can pay a loan back early and save on future fees. We encourage you to take a look at our "How it Works" page on our website for help understanding the fee structure. If you have any questions not answered there, you can give us a call at 888-986-8263. Thanks for getting in touch!
Answer: Hi Jessica, you can go on their site and enter the amount you want to "borrow" and Kabbage will give you this information up front before you agree to receiving the cash. I borrowed $21,000 and paid nearly $8,000 in interest and fees. It HURT my business, very much! I strongly encourage you to try other companies or look to local lending networks or a local bank.
Answer: It's based on them having access to your bank account through you online banking. You need to provide your institution and password so they have full access to your account. They are not trustworthy. Do not allow them access to that information.
Kabbage provides automated, online financing to small businesses in minutes.
