Overall Rating: 4.4 / 5 (Excellent)

FiWize is a relatively new entrant to the auto loan space, but it works with partners that have decades of experience in the industry. Its service is free to use and won't hurt your credit, so there's no harm in getting a quote if you're interested. They offer conventional auto loans plus ultra-low payment Value Plus loans (Residual Based Financing), giving you affordable loan options that are not available at every lender. The Value Plus loan comes with an innovative Buy Back Guarantee, allowing you to return the vehicle to the lender instead of paying the final payment if you wish. Simply request an auto loan quote and FiWize will help you determine which loan type may be best for your situation.

FiWize Reputation & Reviews

Reputation - 4.5 / 5

FiWize has only been around for a few years, so it's not surprising that there aren't many customer reviews about it yet. But that shouldn't deter you because it works with partner lenders that have been well established in the industry for decades. As always when working with a marketplace, you should do some research into the reputation of your underwriter before applying so you understand what you're getting into.
