The Military Lending Act (32 C.F.R. § 232) prohibits lenders from charging service members more than 36% APR on credit extended to covered borrowers. APRs for the OQUITY product fall outside of the MLA limits and as a result the product cannot be issued to these applicants. Active duty service members and their covered dependents are considered “covered borrowers" under the Military Lending Act.

U.S. citizens are, of course, eligible for the services offered by OQUITY. Permanent resident / green card holders are also eligible to apply.
