In a Nutshell
OppLoans at a Glance
OppLoans, also known as Opportunity Financial, LLC, is an online lending platform that provides a range of consumer credit products. They are a direct lender that, depending on your state, provides loans or line of credit products to people who have less than perfect credit, giving them an opportunity to improve their credit score in the process.
Best For?
You can borrow up to $4,000, and the interest rate that you will be charged will vary from 1 state to another. Best of all, OppLoans makes loans available to borrowers with less than perfect credit, giving them an opportunity to improve their credit score by taking the loan. The application and approval process with OppLoans can be completed within minutes, and you can receive your loan proceeds as soon as the next business day. That means that a consumer credit product from OppLoans can be equivalent to a payday loan in speed, but at a much lower annual percentage rate than what a payday lender would charge.
