Getting Started

5 min read

Welcome to the Esteb and Co Lending Portal. This guide will walk you through creating your account and starting your first loan application.

1 Create Your Account

Visit portal.estebandco.com/dashboard/register.php and provide:

  • Your first and last name
  • Email address (this will be your login)
  • Mobile number (optional but recommended)
  • A secure password (minimum 8 characters)

Tip: If you've already completed a quick assessment, you can register using the link in your email - your details will be pre-filled.

2 Set Up Two-Factor Authentication

After registering, you'll be prompted to set up two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a code from your phone when logging in.

  1. Download an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar)
  2. Scan the QR code displayed on screen
  3. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm
  4. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe

Important: Keep your recovery codes safe. If you lose access to your authenticator app, you'll need these codes to regain access to your account.

3 Complete Your Assessment

Once logged in, you can start a new loan application. Our smart form will ask about:

  • The type of loan you need (home, car, personal, business)
  • Your employment situation
  • Your income and expenses
  • Any existing debts or assets

The assessment typically takes 5-10 minutes. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can return and complete it later if needed.

4 View Your Matched Lenders

After completing the assessment, our system instantly matches you with suitable lenders from our panel of 80+ options. You'll see:

  • Estimated interest rates you may qualify for
  • Lenders most likely to approve your application
  • Comparison of features and fees

What's Next?

Once you've reviewed your matches, you can proceed to a full application. This involves uploading supporting documents and having a broker review your application.
