Design your loan terms to fit your budget
Leave the loan paperwork to us and drive away in your new car
Unlike other alternative lenders, we report to nationwide credit bureaus. So when you take out a loan with Oportun and repay it on time, you’re establishing your credit history, taking control of your finances, and opening the door to a new world of opportunities.
We’ve helped more than 760,000 people without a FICO score begin establishing credit history. Ready to join us? Get started today.
You don’t need a credit score and there’s no fee to apply—and you’ll receive a decision within minutes. All you need is a valid driver’s license, proof of residence, proof of insurance, income documentation, trade-in information (if you’re trading in a car), and any details about the vehicle you’d like to buy (if you’ve already picked one).
If your application is approved, you can use our loan configurator to design the payment terms to fit your budget. Then upload your documentation securely and sign your loan documents electronically. When you’re ready to close, an agent will assist you and the seller with signing the DMV paperwork. We’ll process your registration and title paperwork later, so you and the seller can skip the trip to the DMV.
Be prepared to share the following documents:
Yes. When we prequalify you, we run a soft credit pull, which does not impact your FICO® credit score.
When we are ready to make a final decision on your loan application, we run a hard credit pull, which can impact your credit score. Learn more about hard and soft credit pulls.
Applications, Auto loans, Personal loansBecause we’ve tried to make it as simple as possible for you to buy a car, you won’t personally receive the funds for your auto loan. We will deliver the funds directly to the seller, and you (the borrower) will get to drive away in your new car.
