Types of Online Loan Lenders
Championing your finances means knowing your options. With that in mind, read on to learn about some of the major categories of lenders offering online loans.
- Tribal Lenders: Some online loan platforms are owned by sovereign Native American tribes. OppLoans is not a tribal lender.
- Payday5 Loan Providers: Many payday loan providers have moved online. A payday loan is typically a two week loan, secured by the borrower’s paycheck. Payday loans carry an average interest rate of 400%. These high interest rates and short terms make for an inadvisable combination. OppLoans is not a payday loan provider. With OppLoans, borrowers will get a maximum APR less than half the average payday loan.
- Loan Matching Services: Some online loan platforms are loan matching services. This typically means a borrower can supply some of their financial information and view a list of potential matches to find an online loan provider. Some online loan matching services are reputable, but others are not. OppLoans is not a dedicated Loan Matching Service, but for customers who opt-into our Turn Up Program, we check the market for lower cost loans with approximately 15 near-prime lenders on their behalf, before presenting an offer through OppLoans’ platform.
- Offshore Loan Providers: An online loan provider based in another country, or offshore, are subject to the rules and regulations of the country in which they’re based. This can increase the risk to borrowers in the United States. OppLoans is not an offshore lender. We are proudly based in Chicago, Illinois.

- Installment loan principals can range from small dollar amounts to thousands of dollars.
- APRs may depend on the borrower’s creditworthiness, this can range from single to triple digit interest rates.
- Installment loans are often repaid over months, not weeks.

FAQs
Online loans are personal unsecured installment loans offered by online lenders and some traditional banks. From lines of credit to cash advances, credit comes in all different shapes and sizes depending on the lender and needs of the borrowers.
Online loan offers should clearly disclose the loan’s APR (annual percentage rate), the term, and any fees, such as finance charges.
Personal loans can help you achieve many different types of financial goals. Maybe you’re looking for a loan to help consolidate debt from multiple credit cards, or maybe you need to fund an expensive home improvement or car repair. The right online loan may also help you build credit.
