My experience with Lend Direct was definitely 10/10. I don't think you could find a better person than Julie Sanford, when it comes to this. Julie really explains everything out well. She takes time to listen to your questions.She takes time to talk if you have any concerns.She never rushes or pressures you off the phone.She always makes sure that everything is in line.And you are satisfied before you get off the phone with her or leave the office. The whole process is very fair. And they really strive to make the whole process benefit you and not them. I don't think i've ever been to a place to get money that was so easy going, accommodating and just a great overall experience. I would recommend lend direct to anybody.

Jen was amazing and I am so grateful to this company because I have tried so many places to get financial assistance and no one would help me. Jen walked me through every step and was very patient and kind. She is an amazing Customer Support person and I am above happy with their service.
A Line of Credit is a personal loan that can be used for ongoing personal expenses. It gives you access to your money when you need it. Once you’re approved, you will receive your loan credit limit. You have the flexibility to borrow any amount at any time, up to your approved credit limit. No need to reapply to access funds – if you have available credit, you can request additional advances.
What do I need to apply for a Line of Credit?
To apply with LendDirect, you will need to be at least 18 years old and have the following:
A valid ID
An open bank account in your name
Proof of recurring income
Be a Canadian resident

What is a Line of Credit advance?
Simply put, an advance is a convenient Line of Credit feature that allows you to withdraw funds from your personal Line of Credit when you need them.
