Pros and cons
KreditBee
Pros
- Repaying early is free, so a lump sum clears the balance and cuts the interest owed.
- Terms of 6 to 60 give room to match the repayment to your income.
- A soft prequal credit check, aimed at applicants who do not want a hard search on file.
Cons
- Expensive: interest runs at 12% to 27.5% with Processing fee up to 4.7% + GST on top.
- Support runs on help centre only, with no phone line listed.
- As a marketplace, the decision and the rate sit with the lender rather than the platform.
SoFi
Pros
- Fees of 0 and 0% on the loans listed
- Lends directly rather than through a broker, on direct lender terms
- Borrowing of up to $100,000 with a term ceiling of up to 84
Cons
- Terms stop at up to 84, shorter than the 480 seen across the wider personal loan field
- Lends in the US only, so the £10,000 to £35,000 and €100 to €5,000 ranges sit outside its reach

- Small euro borrowers, who can borrow €100 to €5,000 through Cashspace ES instead

Questions about each
KreditBee
What interest rate will I pay on a KreditBee personal loan?+
Interest is quoted at 12% to 27.5%, and offers sit inside that band. Repayments run over 6 to 60, so a longer term lowers the monthly figure but raises the total repaid. As a marketplace, the rate you get depends on which lender the platform puts you with.
What fees does KreditBee charge for arranging a loan?+
The stated charge is Processing fee up to 4.7% + GST, and it applies to the personal loan. Set against 12% to 27.5%, that fee makes short, small loans expensive in proportion, so weigh the total repayable rather than the monthly figure.
SoFi
What fees does SoFi charge?+
SoFi charges fees of 0 on the personal and student loans, and the percentage fee is 0%. For car and business loans the same pattern holds. The cost you pay is therefore the interest on the balance, not a set-up charge added on top.
How much can I borrow from SoFi?+
The borrowing cap is up to $100,000. SoFi lends it as personal, student, debt consolidation, car and business loans, and also for purchase and remortgage mortgages. Only SoFi reaches that top figure in this comparison.
