Pros and cons
Pros
A quick way of getting money: first-time clients receive funds within 12 hours, and returning clients can receive funds within an hour.
Easy way of getting money: just a few steps are needed to fill in an application form - it usually takes less than 10 minutes to apply online. Agents are always available to assist borrowers through the process should a borrower have any questions.
A safe way of getting money: the application process is completely secure (the company uses standard internet security protocols on its website, the company's servers are operated locally and can only be accessed by authorized personnel), and none of the information is shared with the 3rd parties that aren't directly involved in the application process.
Loan repayment schemes are hassle-free, with weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly payment options available.
The service offers differentiation by the variety of the amounts of loans available.
Cons
The borrowers still have to wait for approval results.
Steady job needed.
Not available in the provinces of Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and Newfoundland.
Small loan amounts available.
The borrower can easily access agents, always ready to help, via texting on the website, toll-free calls, e-mailing, or coming directly to the office of Lamina.
Taking into consideration the above-mentioned – there are lots of obvious advantages Brokers Lamina have to offer to their clients, and its only disadvantage at this stage is that a person should have a stable job to be considered for a loan from this company.
Loan conditions
The main criteria for getting a loan are to be 18 years old or older and have a steady income. A candidate for a loan should also provide the service with a pay stub, void cheque, 30-60 days of banking, and a picture of a photo ID. In case a loan candidate is using online banking – no documents are needed at all. On average, the amount borrowed will bear 30% interest annually, excluding brokerage fees.
Methods of loan funding
Should a borrower request a deposit by interact e-transfer, the funds are usually transferred within an hour after the borrower's application is approved. Otherwise, the transfer process varies between 12 and 24 hours as the borrower is getting funds overnight. Usually, the loan money is deposited in clients' accounts before 10 a.m. the following morning. Loans approved on Friday afternoon are being transferred and deposited on Monday morning, and the loans approved on Saturday and Sunday are being transferred and deposited on Tuesday morning.
First-timers usually get approved and funded within 12 hours; those ones who have already borrowed from Lamina can get a loan within an hour.
