CashCow complaints

Even though CashCow is a legit company and appears to be a useful app to get access to quick cash in times of emergency, it’s not without its problems. There have been many complaints about the extremely high interest rates and fees on the loans.

Customers feel taken advantage of. For example, one customer said they were charged more than the listed interest rate of 10.8% APR. The interest can reach more than 40%, which really leaves little cash left for borrowers to use. Moreover, the loan term is fixed at 7 days instead of the listed 91 to 360 days.

In general, customers complain about not receiving what was promised in terms of interest rates and repayment terms and feeling like they're being pressured to accept loans that are more than they can afford.

Another major complaint is the very aggressive way in which loan officers collect payments. Customers are contacted multiple times about payments even though they’re not yet overdue. Allegedly, some borrowers say they've been harassed and threatened with lawsuits if they don't pay back loans quickly.

CashCow reviews

CashCow has generally unsatisfactory reviews on Google Play Store and Facebook. Most of the reviews are about the exorbitant interest rates. Many borrowers were surprised that they only got about 60% of the original loan amount they applied for. Aside from not getting the full amount, they have to pay off the loan in just 7 days, which is too short a time to get funds. As a result, they end up paying late, which has corresponding penalties in the form of late payment fees and higher interest. In worst cases, some borrowers end up not being able to pay.


Customers had to deal with rude loan officers who were overly aggressive in their loan collection methods. There were some reviews that said that the loan collectors were harassing and intimidating borrowers. Some have even gone as far as to make threats of legal action and shaming on social media. With that said, CashCow’s customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

I did acquired a loan from this company though you only got almost just half of the amount you loaned but still i'm grateful that I was able to borrow fast in the time that i'm kinda need additional funds (though still not enough)... On the 7th day (1st day is the day you applied for a loan) I was on a not calm state of feeling because I received a reminder already about my due date, 3 days before and the due date finally come and my funds that I was expecting from my tenants that has been long overdue because sometimes I have to be lenient to them especially if its matter of life and death of their family members, so I end up borrowing instead, on the day that i was just about to go to the other side of the road to claim my funds from Cebuana, I received a call from my father on the brink of crying for my mother had to be rushed in the hospital. Because someone had sent or texted her absurd words with threatening messages, and some words at 1st time to her awareness and she trembled and collapsed, while hearing this I lost to myself for awhile till I feel and heard some shouting I noticed I was sidesweeped by a running car, it was my fault for I forgot that I am at the road and im crossing when i answered my father's call... And thank heavens my injuries just minor but i was not allowed to moved till today to make sure that i dont have an internal hemorhaging because I was flatdown and my head exactly on the metal bar of a tricycle parked on the near side... And then I was not able to pay, for 2 days I was overdue because of the incident and all because I borrowed 4k, something which I received just part of it, now i realized that will not be amount worth the life of my mother and mine too! Anyway, on the first glance seems you found help but nah, loaning with this kind of interest and just for a few days and after 3 to 4 days of your loan your nerve will always be on a jumping spree because of a constant calls to remind you, not worth. Better shamed yourself borrowing from actual friends, relatives or neighbor than being shamed because you cant pay before the cut off of 12 noon on the duedate.
