How does Oportun help me build a credit history?
Unlike other alternative lenders, we report your account behavior to nationwide credit bureaus. Each month, we let them know whether you’ve made your account payments on time and in full. You can establish positive credit when you make your requested payments on or before your due date, pay more than what is requested, or pay your account in full. It generally takes at least six months to establish an initial credit score.
If you miss payments or make late or incomplete payments, we also report that to the credit bureaus. Such behavior can negatively impact your credit score.
The lender for the Oportun Visa Credit Card is WebBank, Member FDIC, which is who reports your account behavior to nationwide credit bureaus.
