About SoLo Funds

Written by the company

SoLo is the leading community finance platform focused on working class communities. Our members borrow on their own terms and lend to make industry leading returns or a social impact.

SoLo has over +3 million users, +2 million loans funded with 82% of its members being from underserved zip codes. As one of the few certified Benefit Corporations in financial services, SoLo has emerged as the new financial service leader on pace to deliver $1B back into working class communities by Q1 ‘26.

The traditional financial system has failed our communities, excluding them from returns and access to short term cash. SoLo created something different, something more human. They went back to the basics, creating a community where people could support each other financially. SoLo calls this community finance.

Good concept but lender loses 12% (solo fee)if borrower is one day past due date. They make it sound like the borrower is being charged but a perfect example is if a $500 loan is repaid one day after the due date solo takes $60(solo fee) and the lender only gets back $440. Not sure how this makes any sense, penalizing the lender instead of the borrower. Their SLP protection is pretty much the same thing where you would lose 10% if borrower is one day past due date. They basically try to spin what they're telling you. I like the idea and would invest a lot more money but they have to support their lenders more. Support your backbone solo and you'll have a lot more lenders. I'm assuming we'll see the typical reply of we're trying to recover your money, I'm good with that but charge the borrower not the person providing.

Dear Luroy,

We developed SoLo to help people using something different, something more human, and we are glad to hear from you that it works.
We were tired of financial services not designed for our needs and the lack of trans­parency, simplicity, and unfair terms.

Thank You for being part of our community where people support each other.

At first I wasn’t sure what I was doing or how to navigate the app. But once I did what the email suggested right away, I had a lender. And am so grateful! Hopefully the repayment is as smooth as receiving was. People trusting people. Love it 😍

This app feels like a second chance

This app feels like a second chance. This makes me feel so much better about life. My credit isn't great and most have turned me away. It does take time because you build trust. Meaning, you start with very small loans and if you paythem back timely your solo score increases and you can borrow more. It funds in seconds. I'm very happy Solo is in my life.
