Ratings and reviews

9-24-24: This used to be a good platform to use, even after the banking issues it was ok. But now it's a few months past their transition, and once again I can't cash out all of my funds. Their reason? "Oh we are doing upgrades again." So I can't even get the money that was approved, but I'm going to be expected to pay everything back plus the tip to the lender, plus the tip to Solo which it seems they can't even use properly to make their system work or hire more programmers. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Inconsistent! I've tried many times to request a loan, after making the account with one bank/card, it gave me a score of 40. Told me to add another payment method to boost my score, so I did and it boosted it to just 41. I have no other accounts and it is saying to add ANOTHER account to get 10 points, making it impossible to get loan.My MALE friend created an account with just one payment method and automatically had a score of 80. Idk if this is a gender bias or what but it's not right!!!

Honestly I've been using Solo for about 2 years and its been fantastic. I know there's alot of complaints about the scores and funding but even at the beginning I did not experience any issues. I was able to increase my score over time by paying on time and being fair about the tip. I think if you pay late or don't tip it's hard to be funded. It would be 5 stars but the customer service page is horrible and the buttons are unclickable for a seamless experience. otherwise it's great!
