What We Love About OppLoans Personal Loans

OppLoans offers unsecured loans rather than secured loans. This means that you don’t need a source of collateral to back the loan. This helps borrowers who don’t own any property and don’t have cash or a cash equivalent to use as collateral.

OppLoans lends to borrowers with fair to poor credit. The only other options for such borrowers are predatory loans charging high interest. There is no minimum credit score required.

OppLoans also offers excellent customer service. Their phone number is easily found on the website. When you call, you’ll get a real person on the phone rather than an automated system.

What Could OppLoans Do Better?

Though OppLoans’ interest rates are lower than many payday lenders, they are still high. These loans are a good choice for borrowers with fair to poor credit. If you have good to excellent credit, you may be better off with a different option.

OppLoans doesn’t operate in all 50 states. This is due to different interest rate requirements across the United States. These laws are in place to protect consumers, but they also severely limit the number of people who are eligible to receive a loan from OppLoans.

OppLoans Backstory

Opportunity Financial, LLC, was founded by Todd Schwartz in 2012. The company offers unsecured installment loans to customers with poor to fair credit. These loans can help pay for any kind of debt, including car repairs and unforeseen medical expenses. “Our intent is to provide non-prime borrowers a safe and reliable alternative to payday lending,” says the company’s CEO, Jared Kaplan.

"Half of Americans have non-prime credit scores, 57 percent have less than $1,000 in their savings account and nearly eight out of 10 live paycheck-to-paycheck. This is the reality in America today," explains Kaplan.

The Verdict

In the end, OppLoans offers flexible requirements and terms on unsecured personal loans that don’t require collateral. They have a fast and easy online application process and offer great customer services.

OppLoans can help you avoid higher interest rates because they offer lower rates than predatory payday loan companies. They can also teach personal finance skills and help you improve your credit score over time.
