SoLo is an online community where members can request and fund short-term needs. SoLo launched in 2018 with the goal of providing an alternative to short-term loans that were non-predatory, simple, and community-driven. Since then, they’ve processed hundreds of thousands of loans and redefined lending for our community members. Today, they’re driven to new heights, but grounded in the same hope and mission: to build a community that enables financial autonomy for all.
