FAQ’s

Does OpenRoad Lending charge an application fee?

With OpenRoad Lending, there’s no obligation to apply, no hidden costs, and no application fees. You have the flexibility to apply with us and, upon approval, receive a free, no-obligation quote so you can choose the auto loan that is right for you.

What happens after my loan is approved?

You will be able to download your refinance loan package. Your loan package will include specific instructions to complete the refinancing process. Requirements will vary by customer, but generally, you will need to sign a Loan and Security Agreement, give us information about the current loan you are refinancing and provide proof of your current income.

Do you check my credit history when I apply for a loan with OpenRoad Lending?

A soft credit pull is done when you apply with us, meaning your credit will not be affected. The lender providing you with the loan may do a hard credit check, which can have a negative impact on your credit score.

Customer Support

OpenRoad Lending does not offer customer support after a loan is funded. Borrowers must seek service for their account directly from the lender who made the loan. However, OpenRoad Lending does have a toll-free phone number for inbound callers seeking sales support and needing questions answered before applying.

In Conclusion

OpenRoad Lending is a reputable company with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It provides quotes from different lenders within minutes of when someone submits an application. OpenRoad Lending does not fund or service the loans; they strictly match prospective borrowers and lenders.
