I applied for the loan, and got accepted, then they asked for me to show my ID through my selfie and drivers license, which I did. Effectively the AI can't tell the difference between the selfie and the ID. So i went through someone called Claire who came back and said the they couldn't accept the license, even though it was in date and was clear, and that ahe wanted my passport. I don't have one valid, So instead of just using their eyes and common sense they just cancelled the application making this a huge waste of time. Although, looking back at the emails, i noticed that the email addresses from the company, looking very suspicious, like the ones you get when someone is trying to scan you. I'd avoid this one and go elsewhere. They'll treat you better and give you a better rate, which i did get

Hi,
We are a business regulated by the FCA, and identity verification is a mandatory part of our fraud and anti-money-laundering controls, not a discretionary step. We're sorry the application process left you feeling this way, and sorry it ended without a loan. This isn't a judgement about you personally, it's the outcome our verification standards require when a document can't be confirmed to the level we need. We hold every application to the same standard, and that consistency is what keeps the process fair and secure for everyone.
Best regards,

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We're really glad the app has made things easier for you and that the process has been smooth throughout.

Easy understanding application process. They assess what they think you can manage, not what you ask to loan. APR is manageable but still quite high. All done online but can communicate though message chat. Was more then 2 working days as had to chase after more than a week. Overall happy with service provided and thankful for opportunity to manage my finances and credit score.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for the detailed feedback. We're glad the application was straightforward and that we took the time to assess what would work for you rather than just what was requested.
We're sorry the turnaround took longer than it should have and that you had to chase for an update. That's not the standard we hold ourselves to.
Thank you for the trust you've placed in us, and we're glad Paydown is helping you manage things.
Best regards,
