LoanMe Review
LoanMe personal loans are only available in 21 states: CA, SC, TX, AZ, DE, FL, ID, IN, KY, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, NM, OH, OK, TN, UT and VA. And even people in those states will want to think twice about applying. LoanMe’s loans have vastly different rates depending on the state. But all of them require an extremely high credit score or charge extremely high APRs.
LoanMe personal loans offer fast funding, as soon as the same day you apply. You can also borrow up to $20,000. However, these good qualities don’t make up for the fact that LoanMe charges incredibly expensive interest and fees.
