Idaho’s and Wisconsin’s residents can now apply for Oportun loans online!

Imagine this: You’re in need of some quick money to cover a new battery for your car; you have to drive 25 miles every day to get to your job. Your friends or family can’t lend you the money, you don’t have a credit score so a bank won’t lend to you, and you don’t want a high-cost payday or pawn loan.

One of your friends from Illinois tells you about Oportun, which offers responsible loans that come with affordable, fixed payments that can even help you establish a credit history. And even better, you can apply from just your smartphone, computer or tablet. No traveling to a retail office or applying by phone.

This has been the reality for people in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, and Utah. And now this moment has arrived for residents in Idaho and Wisconsin!

Oportun launched their mobile loan application in both states this May

That means that Idaho and Wisconsin’s residents can apply online, get a decision and, if approved, sign their loan agreement electronically and receive money through a mailed check or direct deposited to their bank account!

What makes Oportun different

Oportun’s mission is to provide inclusive, affordable financial services that empower our customers to build a better future. Oportun has figured out a way to evaluate these borrowers and is able to make loans to people that traditional banks and financial institutions won’t lend to. Not only that, Oportun reports accounts and payment histories to the credit bureaus so that customers can start establishing credit history, and hopefully one day enable them to access more credit options. Oportun’s loans are designed for borrowers to build a better future.

All loans are on approved credit. Oportun reports account payment histories to credit bureaus. Late or missed payments may have a negative impact on credit history or credit score. If you do not have a Social Security number, the credit bureaus may not be able to report your credit history completely and accurately.
