Do all personal loans in Ohio require a credit check?

Traditional lenders typically require a credit check before approving an installment loan. The OppLoans Lending Platform may use credit report information provided by Clarity Services and Experian as part of the application process to determine your creditworthiness. Neither credit inquiry will appear as a hard credit inquiry on your Experian credit report, and therefore they will not affect your FICO score. The OppLoans Lending Platform makes decisions based on an applicant’s overall creditworthiness.

Our system simplifies the borrowing process for individuals with less-than-perfect credit. Many banks and credit unions will not even consider a loan if your credit score is too low, but our lending partners will.
