No-brainer Investment Set-up was a breeze - some basic information and a few clicks and I was all set. The rate of return on your investment is a no-brainer; I can't get that on any savings account, CD, etc. I logged in a couple days later and everything was updated so I knew exactly what I made. They could explain how interest is compounded and provide a bit more detail, but that's it. Supporting a veteran-owned company that supports other veterans is an added bonus. Sign up. You won't regret it.

Returns down since removing selective investing... My returns have dropped significantly since you removed selective investing. If I am understanding my investing options correctly I have to invest in a broad selection of loans not just individual ones. You have too many questionable loans that will default - if someone isn't willing to provide their public name and info they are less likely to keep their word to pay off their loan.

The whole experience with Street Shares…Horrific Experience The whole experience with Street Shares has been dismal. The sense of urgency and communication was extremely lacking. After getting an approval then the whole process fell apart. False promises and the whole platform is flawed and the company seems to only draw/attract business owners/clients by touting veteran owned. Deeply disappointing process and we are only writing this review after multiple failed attempts to escalate to management our concerns. We are still waiting to hear back from the principal partner/owner/GM without success. Potential borrowers beware of this company and try other options and get other quotes there is plenty of competitors that will take care of businesses with a solid history like ours and others.

Good service, but... In general I had a good experience with Streetshares. Their rates were better than most other lenders, though the origination fee they charge decreases that benefit. The application process was easy and I have found since signing up that making extra early payments is easy enough as well. My only negative was the representative that contacted me to set up my account ended up being overly pushy to sell the service. When I stated that I needed some time to compare and check out their history he still pushed to close the deal. I ended up having to hang up on him. I did the research I needed and StreetShares did end up being the best option, but the hard sell sales technique left me with a bad taste. I would have knocked them down to 3 stars, but in this culture where anything but 5-star is bad I couldn't ding them that much for one incident when all their other service has been good. I'm not sure if that selling tactic is company policy, but hopefully they recognize that business owners need their space to make decisions.

Excellent money move After learning of Street Shares, and the 5% ROI, I decided to jump on the opportunity. As of now, I have not been disappointed. I like that my investment funds start ups and enables wealth creation through others.
