With LightStream you know you'll get a great rate, and the best loan process you've ever experienced – guaranteed.
That was by far the best banking experience I have ever had. Y'all rock! The small local car dealer was extremely impressed with my experience as well and asked for contact information. I am so happy I found you!
You did two things flawlessly: Lent me money and got out of the way. I never had to speak to anyone (for better or worse) and we are driving in a new (used) car on our terms. Thank you. I have raved to friends and family about LightStream and SunTrust based on such a great experience. Sometimes I wonder if reviews like this are fake because they are so complimentary. Well, the answer in this case is 'No.' It's real. Thank you!
Just want to say you guys are awesome. Great rates and super easy and you made it possible for us to acquire the vehicle of my wife’s childhood dreams. How cool is that!
I am extremely satisfied with the whole process for my auto loan with LightStream. From the start of my application through funding, it was completely smooth quick and easy. The process was so effortless I would highly recommend and seriously consider this company for financing. The rates as well were very competitive and lower than the dealer where we purchased our vehicle.
“LightStream, an offshoot of SunTrust Bank, offers excellent rates for creditworthy borrowers for non-home and auto-related personal loans... There are no fees for loan origination, prepayment, or anything else… flexible terms and high borrowing limits make it a good choice… [LightStream is] also speedier than peer-to-peer competitors — you can have your money in as little as a day.”
“Good for: borrowers with good credit looking for a no-hassle loan from a well-known bank… LightStream is tailored to customers with strong credentials — even promising to beat some competitors’ rates to get those customers.”
“LightStream is a great choice for people with excellent credit. It is actually part of a bank you might have heard of, SunTrust Bank. They were recently set up to offer some of the best personal loan rates available, and they are delivering.”
“… recognized based solely on surveys about the workplace completed by their employees. Top Workplaces are not only better places to work but are more likely to be successful than peer organizations.”
