Pros and cons
Prestame
Pros
- Nothing is paid to the broker for the comparison step, which is 0 EUR (comparison service is free).
- Funding is quick, Same day, partners usually answer within minutes.
- Both personal loans and debt consolidation are covered under personal and debt consolidation.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so there is no phone or chat desk.
- Prestame is a broker and not the lender, so the rate and the term belong to whichever partner answers.
- The overall score is 3.3 with an offer part of 3.3, so the offer itself is the weak point.
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

Questions about each
Prestame
Is Prestame a lender or a broker?+
Prestame is a broker: it passes your details to partner lenders and one of them decides whether to approve you. The rate, the term and the fees come from the partner who answers rather than from Prestame, so read the terms you are handed before you sign.
What does Prestame charge for checking offers?+
The comparison service is 0 EUR (comparison service is free), so asking for offers costs nothing through Prestame. Any charge that ends up inside your agreement comes from the partner lender, which is the number to look at once a partner responds to you.
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.
