Product Review: Planet Loan financing search engine

About the company: “Planet Loan is the 100% advertiser supported loan search engine. We are not a lender or broker. When you choose to inquire with a lender or broker who advertises on Planet Loan, your information remains between you and that lender(s). Advertisers are solely responsible for keeping their information current.”

The big pitch: Purchase, refinance, cash out your home’s equity, loans for those with damaged credit, get a personal loan…it’s your choice!

Planet Loan is an online loan search engine where you can search for financial information regarding home loans, mortgages, debt consolidation, personal loans, auto loans, commercial loans, credit card finder, and student loans.

Using this website, you can get a quote on all different types of loans from home equity loans to construction loans. Specify your location and you’ll receive a free quote in hours. You can also search for loans based on your credit standing, or find information on loans available to you whether you have good credit or damaged credit.

Have you been thinking of getting a credit card? Do you need a personal credit card of business credit card or both? Either way, you can find information regarding credit cards at www.planetloan.com using their “Credit Card Finder”, which allows you to search by credit card type, including: standard credit cards, specialty credit cards, secured credit cards, platinum credit cards, student and business credit cards.

PlanetLoan is 100% advertiser supported, which means that when you do a search on credit cards, for example, a listing of the advertisers that pay for this service will display advertisements for their credit cards. Now, that means your results may skew a little towards their partners, but it also gives you a lot to choose from in terms of applying for the credit card by simply clicking a direct link. You also have the option of seeing if you are eligible for instant approval, and if you are, who cares whether the company bought and ad or was simply listed there as an option – the point is, you’re gonna get your loan!

Speaking of credit cards, www.planetloan.com provides a listing of vendors that offer credit repair and credit report services. Check out your credit before you apply and you just might save yourself some time trying to figure out your financial situation.

Planet Loan, like most websites of its ilk, offers an online financial calculator to help you solve your financial questions, including calculators that aid you with home and personal financing, investment loans, and retirement calculators. The calculators are presented in a format such that they match frequently asked questions, and in our experience testing the website out, we found it pretty darn useful.

The Product Trends rating: This website provides a myriad of information that may take some time to sift through. However, it is a great way to have a bunch of different options presented to you in one simple table format, which allows you to comparison shop between different financial providers, all in the one website. Four stars. ---Reviewed by Jillian Dobbs
