While taking out loans for business school, our co-founder David found himself asking a lot of questions: Why is the process so confusing? Why is the customer service so bad? Why are the interest rates so high? Isn’t there a better way for people to borrow?
That led to the creation of CommonBond, a company that offers affordable lending solutions. Our products—solar financing, and student lending—are designed to save people money and drive sustainable impact.
Since we launched in 2012, we’ve funded over $5 billion in better loans. Our approach is no big secret: lower rates, simpler options, and a world class experience—all built to support you throughout your loan journey.
So far we’ve provided schools, teachers, and technology to thousands of young students, and our annual trip to Ghana gives customers and team members a chance to build more amazing classrooms alongside members of the local community. Here are some photos from our most recent visit.
