A change for the better
We’re excited to share that the Koalafi brand is now here and we have changed our name from West Creek Financial to Koalafi (sounds like “qualify”). After seven years and hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers, we want a name that reflects what we do best—help more people get what they need when they need it.

A few simple steps for a smooth transition
Now that the Koalafi brand is here, you’ll start to see our new name on all your invoicing, billing, and related documents—but it won’t affect your account.
Customer Portal
You can still schedule or change a payment or view your statements on our customer portal, but it will have a new address after the transition. So, if you’ve previously saved the payment URL, you’ll need to update your bookmark.
• Customers with a lease should visit customer.koalafi.com
• Customers with a loan should visit: customerportal.koalafi.com
Billing
Depending on your current method of payment, you may need to update your payee name.
For borrowers paying with ACH (auto pay or automated clearing houses)
NO ACTION NEEDED. The merchant name on your billing statement will change from “West Creek Financial, Inc.” to “WCREEK KOALAFI”—but you won’t need to do a thing.
For borrowers paying via check (including automated checks via bill pay)
ACTION NEEDED. After the transition, we recommend you make your checks out to “Koalafi.” However if you forget, we will still accept checks made out to “West Creek.”
