We are so glad you asked! FindTheLoan.com, besides helping businesses and consumers with finding suitable loans, also seeks to empower them with financial advice and match them to legitimate lenders instead of them looking by their own and risk turning up at the wrong ones.
Our company's UEN number is stated below. You can search for it in Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority's website to check if it is a legitimate company in Singapore.
We are also members of some associations. For some associations and chambers that we are a member of (as shown under our partners' section), you should be able to check that we are indeed their member by going to their members' directory. We actually found a few loan brokers' websites using logos of associations that they are not a member of. When we sought permission to display them, we were informed that they do not have a practice of allowing members to do so, and those websites are not affiliated to them in any way nor are their members.
We are also a startup funded by Enterprise Singapore, which however does not list the startups that they funded.
We have seen scam websites that took other companies' UEN numbers and logos to create similar-looking websites. If you are unsure whether you are at a phishing website made to look like the original, always double-check the website's URL at the top of your browser. Especially if you are brought there via an advertisement, SMS or email.
You can also double-check by looking at various pages of their website. Very often, when scammers try to direct you to a fake website (for example, FinbTheLoan.com), they hope that you do not notice the slight difference in the URL. They are going to just clone the website wholesale and not make any changes across it.
If you are still unsure, visit their various social media presence and check if they use the same URL. Though we have not chanced upon one yet, more sophisticated scammers may even duplicate a company's entire social media presence, including fake customer reviews. So googling for them may tell you if there are a few and surely, only one URL can be the legitimate one.
When using FindTheLoan.com, your contact is never given to a lender until you decide when to and exactly who to. So be wary of lenders SMSing you out of nowhere, offering you an attractive loan offer, and asking for admin fees upfront.
