Customer success stories

Canadians across the country use Alpine Credits to consolidate loans, complete home renovations, improve their financial status and more. Here are just a few examples of people we’ve helped.

Cherry, Vancouver BC

Goal: Business Capital

Cherry is a self-employed graphic designer and calligrapher from Vancouver who was seeing her business thrive, which made her more excited for the next stage of her career. To accomplish some of her goals she approached the bank to get a loan. Unfortunately, she was met with a stressful and time-consuming application process. The qualification requirements associated with the mortgage stress test used by the bank was a problem because she was self-employed.

Even though she was financially stable, Cherry found it hard to obtain loans from banks because of her self-employment, so she turned to Alpine Credits and looked into a home equity loan. It was a timely and efficient application process with a quick approval, which lifted a lot of stress and weight off her shoulders. The home was valued at just over a million dollars. Through it, she could get the financing she needed to expand her art business. Cherry received a loan worth $200,000, and now she continues to make a name for herself as an artist.

Shawn, Calgary AB

Goal: Newcomer to Canada

Shawn came to Calgary from South Korea to start an exciting new adventure, getting the keys to his own condominium shortly after his arrival. A few years later, he found that taking transit was no longer sustainable for him and looked into getting a car. However, Shawn could not meet the minimum credit score to get an auto loan from the bank. Since he was fairly new to Canada, he did not have much time to build his creditworthiness.

Shawn was met with disappointment, but he didn’t give up, looked for alternatives, and contacted one of the financial solutions specialists at Alpine Credits to discuss the options available to him. One of them was a home equity loan, which allowed him to be flexible and take out only what he needed. He received a loan of $45,000 from his equity. With it, Shawn was able to get a car that takes him on new adventures and lets him save time on his commute.

William, Kelowna BC

Goal: Home Renovation

William and his brothers had been living in their home in Kelowna for several years, but the appliances and interior decoration was starting to become an outdated eyesore as well as an inconvenience to the brothers’ overall living experience. Having had enough of trying to fix the appliances and the leaking bathroom taps, he decided it was time for a home renovation. The problem was that William’s overall credit score didn’t meet the banks’ expectations for the loan, and he wasn’t willing to withdraw such a large amount from his emergency funds.

Instead, he looked into alternative lending at Alpine Credits. Since William had paid a significant amount down on the mortgage, the house held a substantial amount of equity, which Alpine Credits helped him access. With the loan of $30,000, William was able to have the kitchen and bathroom renovated. William and his brothers now enjoy their home much more with a new kitchen and bathroom updates.
