OneMain Financial Review

Suitable For?

Not many personal loans lenders can claim to have the level of experience OneMain Financial has. With OneMain Financial, you get a lender with more than a century’s experience serving the American public. What’s more, it has an almost-perfect Trustpilot rating from 20,000+ reviews – with 95% of people rating it excellent or great. That alone is enough to consider OneMain Financial for your next loan.

Range of Loans on Offer

OneMain Financial specializes in secured and unsecured personal loans. Automobiles are the usual collateral for secured loans. Its unsecured personal loans are installment loans with fixed interest rates that you can use for many purposes.

Application Process & Requirements

The process of applying for a personal loan from OneMain Financial is fairly straightforward. You can apply online or in branch, although a branch visit is a requirement once approved.

Here are the 3 steps to getting a personal loan:

1. Complete an online application. Provide personal, employment, and financial information to apply.
2. Meet with your loan specialist. If approved, you’ll have to visit a branch in your local area to verify your identity, income, expenses, and employment.
3. Sign and receive your funds. After reviewing and accepting the loan terms, you’ll sign your loan documents and receive the funds.

APRs, Loan Amounts & Repayment Terms

The great thing about OneMain Financial is they’re completely transparent about the loan amounts, APRs, and terms. The downside is their lowest rates aren’t all that competitive. If you have good or even very good credit, you can probably find a competitive rate here. But if you have excellent credit, then you should look elsewhere for market-beating rates.

Here are the key figures:

• Loan amount: $1,500 - $20,000 (higher minimums and lower maximums apply in some states – see OneMain Financial website for full details)
• APR: 18.00% - 35.99%*
• Term lengths: 24, 36, 48, or 60 months*

Disclaimers:

You must complete a loan application and continue to meet any criteria used to select you for a loan offer. Not all applicants are approved. Loan approval and actual loan terms depend on applicant’s state of residence and ability to meet OneMain Financial credit standards such as a responsible credit history, sufficient income after monthly expenses, and if applicable, availability of eligible collateral.

Not all approved applicants qualify for larger loan amounts, lower APRs, or the most favorable loan terms. For example, larger loan amounts typically require a first lien on a motor vehicle that is no more than ten years old, meets our value requirements, and is titled in applicant’s name with valid insurance. APRs are generally higher on loans not secured by a vehicle. Example Loan: A $6,000 loan with a 24.99% APR that is repayable in 60 monthly installments would have monthly payments of $176.07.

OneMain charges origination fees allowed by law. Depending on the state where the loan is opened, the origination fee may be either a flat amount or a percentage of the loan amount. Flat fees vary by state, ranging from $25 to $500. Percentage-based fees vary by state, ranging from 1% to 10% of the loan amount subject to certain state limits on the fee amount. For information about these fees and minimum and maximum loan sizes available in certain states, visit omf.com/loanfees.

Current OneMain Customers: Loan offers presented to a consumer assume the individual has no active loan with OneMain or one of its affiliates. If a customer applies for a new loan offer, a OneMain representative will discuss available options.

Active-duty military, their spouse or dependents covered by the Military Lending Act (MLA) may not pledge any vehicle as collateral. If you are covered by the MLA, you are not eligible for secured loans.

Loan proceeds cannot be used for postsecondary educational expenses as defined by the CFPB’s Regulation Z such as college, university or vocational expense; for any business or commercial purpose; to purchase cryptocurrency assets, securities, derivatives or other speculative investments; or for gambling or illegal purposes.

Time to Fund Loans: Funding within one hour after loan closing through SpeedFunds® must be disbursed to a bank-issued debit card. Disbursement by check or ACH may take up to 1-2 business days after closing.
