How much can you borrow?

The minimum personal loan period is 24 months, while the maximum length extends up to 72 months.

How much do Oplo charge?

Their representative personal loan APR is 29.3%

Based on the above representative APR, borrowing £2,000 with a 36 month payback period would mean a total repayment of £3,294.91. This figure includes a fee of £395 and is broken down into monthly instalments of £80.55.

What is Oplo’s application process?

There are four steps involved in Oplo’s application process:

  • Ensure you are eligible to apply. This requires you to be at least 21-years-old, a homeowner, permanent UK resident, currently in paid employment and not under a current NVA, bankrupt or on a debt management plan.
  • Complete the online application form to receive a quick decision.
  • Customers whose loan has been agreed in principle will receive an email link to assess the agreement. This will include a four-digit pin code that is required for use on returning the form.
  • A Oplo team member will be in contact to run through affordability checks to verify it is a suitable loan for you. If successful, the funds will then be transferred.

Can you repay your loan early?

Oplo say that customers are able to repay their personal loan early by getting in contact via email, phone or letter and stating the date you want to repay by. No mention is made on their website if this involves the payment of additional fees.

Will Oplo run a credit check?

Oplo will run an initial soft credit check by carrying out a quotation search which will have no effect on your credit score. If your application is approved in principle and you are happy to accept the offer, a hard credit search will then be conducted. This will leave a record on your credit file and can be viewed by other lenders and associated organisations.
