There are many types of personal loans available in Florida, including personal installment loans, payday loans, auto loans, title loans, and more. However, not all loans are created equal. For instance, even though payday loans are legal in Florida, they are not advisable if you can get a loan at a better interest rate.

Loans serviced by OppLoans are frequently borrowed by customers who have been unable to get traditional personal loans from banks or credit unions. Also, loans offered through the OppLoans Lending Platform in Florida may be funded as soon as the same business day.1 The funds can cover sudden expenses such as car repairs, home improvements, emergencies, travel costs, and other financial obligations.

Do all personal loans in Florida 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.

More About Florida

Florida is widely recognized for its tourism industry. It is often called the "sunshine state" because of its warm climate, stunning beaches, and renowned theme parks, attracting over 141 million state visitors in 2023. In 2022, Disney World was reported as the most popular theme park globally, welcoming an impressive 17 million guests.

Florida is the 4th largest economy of all 50 states based on gross domestic product (GDP). As of 2023, the unemployment rate was 2.9%, the state sales tax was 6%, and there was no state income tax. The absence of state income tax has made Florida an attractive destination for retirees and workers seeking to reduce their tax burden.
