OppFi CEO Jared Kaplan said: “OppFi’s mission is to expand financial access to millions of everyday consumers who are locked out of traditional financial products, of which about 60 million US adults lack access to credit of choice. OppFi Card is the next product phase to fulfil this need.
“OppFi Card can bridge the gap and help graduate consumers closer to mainstream credit options with simple, revolving credit that can improve their financial health.”
The OppFi Card will be issued by First Electronic Bank, Member FDIC.
Once approved, the customers can access their OppFi Card by adding it to their OppFi app e-wallet. The virtual card can be used for making online, in-app and POS transactions.
