Testimonials

Very pleased with the service provided. Will continue business with the Seneca branch.

Seneca SC

I came into Sunset Finance in Easley a few weeks ago and had the pleasure of working with the AM. She was respectful, understanding, and actually listened to me, and told me all the options they could offer me if approved for a loan. I was weary about taking out a loan in the first place, and decided against it but I do know that if I decide to go through with a loan, I will most definitely be returning to Sunset Finance!

I am writing to you to express my appreciation for the excellent customer service which I had received from your company on my visit today. The staff was warm and accommodating, and they were helpful to me. The AM was extremely kind and patient with me.

I hope that this is the kind of service that will be present in your stores permanently as this is what the customers want to have.
