Automated payments may help you avoid missing payments and limit your control over when to pay. Unsurprisingly, BMG's interest rates are higher than some other personal loan lenders, but they may not be as high as payday loans–if available in your area.

Customers praise BMG Money’s excellent customer service and willingness to assist them whenever possible. On top of all this, BMG Money is accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) with a 4.85-star rating.

On its BBB profile, the company has received dozens of complaints stating that, while the application process is easy and customer service is helpful, high interest rates and hidden fees appy.

So, it is important to read the fine print and understand all fees associated with a BMG Money loan before applying. Moreover, compare their rates and terms with other lenders before deciding.

Here is an example of a positive BMG Money customer review:

“BMG Money, was there for me when I experienced a unexpected financial hardship. The application process was easy & the agents were knowledgeable & polite. My loan was approved & deposited into my account within 2 days... thank you BMG!!!”


And another example of a negative BMG Money review:

“Reading some of the more recent reviews I am seeing a recurring theme of long-term customers suddenly being given incorrect, inaccurate, and unresponsive service. I am now one of those as well. I have been a client for nearly 2 years and only now suddenly being told I can't refinance or even access my dashboard because of "discrepancies" in their "hard-coded" system. They won't tell me what those are or how to fix it but gladly continue to take my payments as scheduled. Ive called but never get calls back and the chat agents are unable to do much of anything. Today they even told me that they called me but I missed the call (they did not).”


BMG Money loans have some potential drawbacks outlined in these reviews. In addition to high interest rates, there are several hidden fees. Read the fine print and terms and conditions before applying for a BMG Money loan.

Struggling with debt? Resolve it through debt settlement

If you’re struggling to make ends meet and juggle your debts, settlement might be a better alternative to taking out another loan to pay off your obligations.

Debt settlement involves negotiating with your creditors to pay them a lump sum that is less than the full amount you owe in order to settle the debt for good. Debt settlement be a viable option for those who find themselves unable to keep up with high-interest rates and accumulating fees.

SoloSettle, powered by Solosuit, is a tech-driven approach to debt settlement. Our software can help you start negotiations with your creditor. You may go through several rounds of counter offers before you come to an agreement, but SoloSettle also helps you manage your agreement and ensures it is documented.

Debts settle for a broad range of amounts. It is hard to say how much you can expect to settle for, but typically 60% is a good ballpark to get negotiations started. Some creditors and debt collectors will accept less, while others will require more.

So, while BMG Money Loan offers a range of loan products that might seem attractive for immediate needs, it’s crucial to consider all options, especially if you’re already facing financial difficulties. Debt settlement is one of the paths that can lead to debt relief without accumulating further debt, but it should be approached with caution, full knowledge of the implications, and ideally with the guidance of a financial advisor, credible debt counselor, or debt settlement service.
