Survey results showed more than 99% of the nearly 3,500 survey respondents have a positive sentiment regarding their household lender.
The survey was conducted online and through individual phone interviews over a one-month period to identify what other lending options their customers had as well as their perceptions of Lendmark as their lender, how it delivers value and what it could improve upon. Offered to Lendmark’s customer base from coast to coast, the survey respondents represented a diverse cross-section of participants.
Top survey results were:
- There were 99.13 percent of survey respondents who felt Lendmark delivered a great experience during their individual loan experience.
- Nearly half, 49 percent, of the survey respondents indicated they had other borrowing options, with an additional 26 percent of respondents noting that they only considered Lendmark for their loan.
- 78 percent of survey respondents said of their Lendmark loan, “It saved us” or was “very important.”
- The top five unaided unique responses were: “friendly, helpful, awesome, great, and professional” when respondents were asked how they would describe Lendmark.
“The results of this survey are not only a validation but a strong testament of our unwavering commitment to ensure that when life’s planned or unplanned events happen, our customers feel satisfied in choosing us to meet their financial needs,” said Bobby Aiken, president and CEO, Lendmark. “There are many consumer lenders across the US, but we serve by creating a lending environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and relationships are the foundation for each interaction. We pride ourselves on building and maintaining a trusted, personal relationship with our customers, and that’s why we know them by name and positively value their feedback.”
