OppLoans, a leading fintech company, has been named to Inc. magazine’s prestigious 2019 Inc. 500 list for the fourth year in a row. Only four companies on this year’s list, including OppLoans, have placed on the Inc. 500 at least four or more times. With a three-year annual revenue growth of 1,435%, OppLoans placed #321 on the annual ranking of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., 19 spots higher than the firm placed in 2018. OppLoans has achieved rankings of #340 (2018), #219 (2017) and #445 (2016).
“Making the Inc. 500 for the first time was an honor, but to make the list four years in a row shows what a rare kind of company this is,” said OppLoans CEO Jared Kaplan. “We are growing at a historic pace but are always focused on maintaining our status as a top customer-rated lending platform. It’s our mission to provide middle-class consumers with access to the best available product and a five-star customer experience. The fantastic team that we’ve built over the past four years have all served that singular vision—to great success.”
OppLoans is an online consumer finance platform that offers fully-amortizing installment loans, providing non-prime consumers access to a fast and reliable source of credit. Headquartered in Chicago, the firm was founded in 2012 by Todd Schwartz of Schwartz Capital. Since hiring Kaplan as CEO in 2015, OppLoans has expanded its operations and customer reach to service 37 states and the District of Columbia. OppLoans is one of the top customer-rated lenders online, maintaining an average customer rating of 4.9/5 stars on Google Reviews, a rating based on nearly 7,000 reviews.
In addition to making the Inc. 500 for its fourth straight year, OppLoans was also recently named the 4th fastest-growing Chicagoland company by Crain’s Business Chicago and celebrated their second consecutive year as a Glassdoor Best Place to Work. In 2018, Kaplan placed eighth on Glassdoor’s list of top employee-rated CEOs. OppLoans maintains an A+ rating from the BBB.
