They listen to understand

If you ever find yourself in a difficult place, feeling like all the odds are against you and unsure of where to turn, I truly recommend Fairstone. They took the time to listen to my story without judgment and treated me with kindness, respect, and understanding. From the beginning, I felt like they genuinely wanted to help and worked with me to find the best solution possible.

The support they provided lifted a huge weight of stress and anxiety off my shoulders, and for that I'm incredibly grateful. Knowing I have a place I can turn to when I need financial guidance gives me real peace of mind. I look forward to working with them again in the future, especially when the time comes to invest in starting my own business.

Fairstone on burnhamthorpe in…

Fairstone on burnhamthorpe in Mississauga is the worst. Harassing phone calls and no help in trying to pay the loan down. I paid my loan in interest already (10,000) no break on interest. High interest loans, no promotional rates to help pay down loan in the 3 years I’ve had it. Horrible company. Loan sharks is right. Go with easy financial

Great people

Great people. Friendly. Aware of how much we need what we’re applying for. They do everything to help. They’re warm and kind. I made a mistake and couldn’t make payments. They were more than willing to help. I’m a client for life.

I started with fairstone when I wanted…help

I started with fairstone when I wanted help to clear up some payments quickly. They were able to help me and then when my life fell completely apart they help me again but not just financially they were there as a friend and emotional support which went a long way. Great team at the Moncton location. I can’t say enough kind words. Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough.

Dont hesitate to apply

We have always had great experiences with Fairstone. The staff are professional, helpful and always friendly. The loan process is always made as quick and easy as possible. I have had more than one loan with Fairstone and they have always be easy to deal with. My own bank wouldn't help me out but Fairstone has always been there for us. If you need help and the traditional banks wont help dont hesitate to call Fairstone!
