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.
- Download an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar)
- Scan the QR code displayed on screen
- Enter the 6-digit code to confirm
- 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.
