Swoop is providing a valuable and much neede service

Swoop is providing a valuable and much needed service in South Africa, helping businesses navigate the complex and time consuming world of funding. It was clear from the start that the Swoop team were eager to help us find the funding solution we needed, and quickly ! Within no time Swoop had helped us secure R 500 000 in funding, which we plan to expand our fleet of trucks and continue rapidly growing our business.

Excellent service. Arranged call on the day I enquired and was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and provided useful advice with full explanation without being pushy at all.

An excellent service

Swoop provided a truly dedicated point of contact and also very timely and accurate communication, which is hugely important. The solution reached was exactly what was needed and speed to funds drawdown was exceptional. I recommend Swoop very highly.

A great partnership

We’ve recently partnered with Swoop to offer funding to our clients, and so far I’ve been extremely impressed and happy. It’s clear Swoop understand that working with accountants and helping them to deliver a great service in turn helps Swoop, which is not something many ‘Apps’ and ‘Partners’ get! Nothing is too much trouble, the training and support is second to none. We’ve steered away from offering this type of support to our clients before, but with Swoop’s support we are confident we can deliver and we can help our clients to grow their businesses. Very happy and now wish I’d partnered with Swoop earlier!

Testimonials

Swoop offered a superb service overall. We had a poor experience from our own bank, Barclays, who took more than 3 months without any substantive progress on our CBILS application. SWOOP assigned David to work on our case who got our loan approved in 5 days and the money was in our account shortly afterwards!

I signed up on Swoop and within five minutes discovered I’d been overpaying on my FX transactions by R141,000 a year!
