Seamlessly and Quick Loan Process

Well I wanted to start with a small loan so that I could get familiar with the process and fully understand what the process entails. It was very seamless, quick and great customer service along the way. I'm looking forward to doing more business with SALT in the future as well as referring them to some of my business partners and colleagues !

I had a five star experience with SALT

I had a five star experience with SALT. The email support is rapid, the loan went thru exactly as planned approx 24 hours after all my paperwork was complete and everyone I spoke to (Josh & Trevor) expedited the process and even helped me upgrade my loan too. If you’re looking for a BTC backed loan these folks can help out for sure. Thanks to Salt Lending Team!

Hi, Cesar. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry the onboarding process felt confusing and that the call you expected didn’t happen.

We’re looking into what went wrong with the scheduling and follow-up emails and will use your feedback to improve our process. A member of our team will reach out to you privately to answer any questions and help move things forward and answer any remaining questions you might have regarding refinance or anything else.

We appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.

Easy process!

Easy process! Interest rate is pretty high for 70% LTV but plan to prepay.

Hello, Ronald. Thank you for taking the time to write us a 5-Star review. It means a lot to the team!

We also understand your comment about the higher interest rate at the 70% LTV mark. We do strive to have the best rates in the industry, and currently offer some lower, single-digit ones for lower LTVs. If you can eventually get down to a lower LTV tier, you can easily refinance right on the app, if you don't pay off earlier as you stated.

Please reach out with any questions though if needed. Thanks again!

My first crypto loan

This was my first time taking out a loan against my bitcoin so I was fairly apprehensive , but the process went without a hitch and relatively fast. I did a lot of research before deciding on where to borrow from and everything i heard about this company was true, so I’m very pleased and definitely plan on continuing to use them as BTC continues to go up.
