Question 1

What is Oakhill Loans?

Accepted Answer

Oakhill Loans is a direct lender offering fixed-rate personal loans from $2,000 to $10,000, repayable over 12 to 48 months at a fixed 10.00% APR. We fund our own loans and make our own credit decisions — we are not a marketplace or a broker.

Question 2

What is a personal loan?

Accepted Answer

An unsecured installment loan repaid in equal monthly payments over a fixed term. Unsecured means no collateral: you don't pledge your car or your home.

Question 3

How much can I borrow?

Accepted Answer

Between $2,000 and $10,000, in $500 increments. The amount we approve depends on your income and existing obligations, so you may be approved for less than you request.

Question 4

How long do I have to repay my loan?

Accepted Answer

Choose 12, 24, 36, or 48 months. Longer terms mean lower monthly payments and more total interest.

Question 5

Do you offer payday loans, title loans, or no-credit-check loans?

Accepted Answer

No. Oakhill Loans offers fixed-rate installment loans only. We check credit on every application.

Question 6

What is the interest rate on a Oakhill Loan?

Accepted Answer

A fixed 10.00% APR. Every approved borrower receives the same rate, regardless of loan amount, term, credit profile, or state. It never adjusts.

Question 7

Is the rate really the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We make a yes-or-no approval decision rather than pricing each borrower individually. There is no rate sheet and no credit-tier pricing.

Question 8

Is 10% a good APR for a personal loan?

Accepted Answer

It's below the average for unsecured personal loans and well under the 36% ceiling most states allow. Whether it's the best option for you depends on your alternatives.

Question 9

What's the difference between an interest rate and an APR?

Accepted Answer

APR includes interest plus most mandatory fees, so it reflects the full cost of borrowing. Because we charge no origination or application fee, our interest rate and our APR are both 10.00%.

Question 10

What fees does Oakhill Loans charge?

Accepted Answer

No application fee, no origination fee, no processing fee, and no prepayment penalty. A late payment fee applies after a five-day grace period, and a returned payment fee may apply. Both are disclosed in full in your loan agreement.

Question 11

Can I pay my loan off early?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at any time, with no penalty. Extra payments reduce your principal and lower your total interest.

Question 12

How much is a $5,000 loan per month?

Accepted Answer

At a fixed 10.00% APR: $439.58 over 12 months, $230.72 over 24, $161.34 over 36, or $126.81 over 48.

Question 13

What are the eligibility requirements?

Accepted Answer

You must be at least 18 (19 in Alabama and Nebraska), a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, with verifiable regular income, an active checking account in your own name, and a valid government-issued ID and Social Security number.

Question 14

What credit score do I need for a personal loan?

Accepted Answer

There is no published minimum. We consider applicants across the credit spectrum and focus on verifiable income and ability to repay. A lower score doesn't disqualify you and doesn't change your rate — but approval is not guaranteed, and we do decline applications.

Question 15

Can I get a personal loan with bad credit?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Credit history is one input among several, and it has no effect on your rate if you're approved.

Question 16

Can I get a personal loan with no credit history?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. A thin file isn't automatically disqualifying, particularly where income is well documented.

Question 17

Can I apply if I'm self-employed or receive benefits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We accept self-employment income, retirement income, disability, and other regular benefit income, provided it's verifiable.

Question 18

Do I need a cosigner?

Accepted Answer

No. We don't currently offer cosigned loans.

Question 19

What states does Oakhill Loans operate in?

Accepted Answer

All 50 U.S. states.

Question 20

How do I apply for a personal loan?

Accepted Answer

Complete our online application, then call (747) 200-5934 to finish underwriting with a specialist and e-sign your agreement.

Question 21

How long does it take to get a personal loan?

Accepted Answer

The application takes about five minutes. Most borrowers are funded within one to two business days after completing the phone call and signing. Your timeline depends mostly on how quickly you call.

Question 22

Why do I have to call in?

Accepted Answer

Phone underwriting confirms your identity and gives you the chance to hear your full terms and ask questions before signing. Your application doesn't progress without it.

Question 23

How will I receive my money?

Accepted Answer

By direct deposit into the checking account you verified during the application.

Question 24

Can I apply more than once?

Accepted Answer

One active application at a time; duplicates are blocked. Declined applicants may reapply 90 days after the original submission date.

Question 25

What happens if my application is declined?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive an Adverse Action Notice by email explaining the specific reasons and how to obtain a free copy of any credit report we used.

Question 26

How do I check my application status?

Accepted Answer

Use our Loan Status page with your Application ID and the email address you applied with.

Question 27

When is my first payment due?

Accepted Answer

Approximately 30 days after your loan is funded. The exact date is in your loan agreement.

Question 28

How do I make payments?

Accepted Answer

Payments are automatically debited from the checking account you verified, on the same date each month.

Question 29

What if I can't make a payment?

Accepted Answer

Call us before the due date. We'd much rather work something out than watch an account go delinquent. Missed payments carry fees and credit consequences, so the earlier the conversation, the better.

Question 30

Is my information safe?

Accepted Answer

The site uses 256-bit encryption, and your data is transmitted and stored securely.

Question 31

Do you sell my information?

Accepted Answer

No. We're a direct lender and we don't sell your personal information to lead buyers or other lenders. Our full practices are set out in our Privacy Policy.

Question 32

How do I stop marketing calls or texts?

Accepted Answer

Reply STOP to any text, use the unsubscribe link in any email, or contact us at support@oakhillloans.com or (747) 200-5934. Opting out of marketing has no effect on your application or your loan.
