About OppLoans

With headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, OppLoans provides non-secured (no collateral required) personal loans to individuals with poor credit histories. The company’s interest rates are substantially higher than other personal loan companies because they work with consumers with few other options to borrow money other than a payday loan company.

OppLoans offers loans between $500 and $4,000, much less than the minimum amounts many personal loan lenders offer. These loans are repaid in terms ranging from nine months to 18 months — much shorter than what you’d find at many other lenders.

In Conclusion

OppLoans is a customer service-oriented company specializing in lending money to people with poor credit. The interest rates it charges are among the highest we’ve seen for any personal loan company. Consumers with poor credit may want to also check with other personal loan companies offering loans to credit-challenged borrowers and compare interest rates and terms.

FAQ

Does applying affect my credit score?
OppLoans may use credit report information provided by Clarity Services and Experian as part of the application process to determine your creditworthiness. Neither credit inquiry will appear as a hard credit inquiry on your Experian credit report, and therefore they will not affect your FICO score.
How does OppLoans compare to payday loans?
According to the Consumer Federation of America, a non-profit consumer advocacy group, payday loans range in size from $100 to $1,000, depending on state legal maximums, and carry an average annual percentage rate (APR) of 400%. The maximum APR for a loan offered through and serviced by OppLoans is 160%, and loan sizes range from $500 to $4,000.
What fees are associated with an OppLoans loan?
There is no obligation or fee to apply for a loan with OppLoans.
