Company to be trusted
January 19, 2018

Your rep kept on calling but I am so scared to give out my social security number because I have been ripped off before for a lot of money. Really bad experience! I was a victim of Wells Fargo credit and also of lenders which my ex employees signed fraudulently. When I finally needed help, your company gave me a good rate to buy equipments that I need instead of renting. Thank you!

Very Dissatisfied
January 19, 2018

Ryan Gray and David White are two of the worst loan officers i have ever had! David was arrogant and rude i felt like he was lying to me didn't care about me or my business just wanted to get as high of an interest rate out of me as possible didn't care if a 2 year loan was bad for me. When he didn't meet an agreed a pond closing date he went off the deep end and yelled and threatened me about losing my $13,000 down payment.

To anybody reading this DON'T use Balboa for any financing bad company!

Tw0 truck purchase.
January 23, 2018

I purchased 2 used work trucks. After paying cash I decided to finance in order to replenish my cash. Other than taking a month to complete the funding I was very happy to work with Tye Malcolm. After we complete this contract I will be approaching them for future needs.

Thank You,
Howard Richter.

Balboa
January 23, 2018

The email responses were very fast, and possibly thorough to an accountant, but as a business owner, I had to reply to emails to pull the information I needed out from customer service. So I picked up the phone and with a short wait time, my questions were answered.

Lacking
February 1, 2018

Lacking.
Lacking in communication, lacking in care, lacking in most areas for the most part.
Hopefully the current account/loan we have with you, we will see changes in the Communication. The first loan experience was LACKING.

BEWARE!
July 1, 2023

This broker misleads their clients with "Bait and Switch schemes" and use contracts to hide their wrongdoing. This corporation is a broker and not a bank. They are also known as Ameris Bank but they don't service the loans. The actual loan ended up being serviced by Amur Equipment Finance out of Nebraska. The scheme started with a telemarketing call from an account executive called Matthew Kruger to which he guaranteed a competitive interest rate of 6.6% to 7% in providing a 5-year loan. See the text picture from Matthew. Balboa ended up adding a Per Diem charge of.*******% to the monthly payment. The monthly payment actually put the interest rate at 13.423%. My business credit is A-rated so I would have never taken this loan if Matthew would have been honest.
I addressed the issue with a Branch Sales Manager Brendan Gibbs to which he continued to defend what is Predatory lending and issued no resolution. Unfortunately, I'm now in a legal battle with this shady brokerage firm.

I hope this review will help people decide for themselves.

Balboa is a deceitful company!
Do not trust anything they say!
Lie after lie
Especially if they tell you to give them your social security number for a Buisness loan

BUYER BEWARE!
January 29, 2018

THIS IS THE WORST FINANCIAL COMPANY YOU WILL HOPEFULLY NEVER ENCOUNTER! NOT ONLY DO THEY CHARGE YOU FOR INTERIM RENTS ON EQUIPMENT, THEY STICK WITH YOU A 10% BUY-OUT CLAUSE, AND NOT TO MENTION THE PENALTIES IN THE "FINE PRINT!" THE BBB IS WELL AWARE OF THE SHENANIGANS! I CAN ONLY WISH I CAN GIVE A "NO-STAR" RATING!

Poor communications
January 29, 2018

I asked direct questions and the answers did not meet Balboas actions. I appreciate the lease, just wish I would get a straight answer. I dont think the bait and hook tactics are needed.

Not out front on terms and fees. If you decide to pay off early you will be charged the full interest amount of the total loan.
