The expansion of this credit facility will aid our ability to continue to meet increases in loan demand and deliver on our mission of financial inclusion and profitable growth," Schwartz added.
OppFi increased the total capacity under this revolving credit facility from $250 million to $300 million. The amended agreement extends the maturity date to February 2029, increases funds available for growth, and provides the Company the flexibility to use balance sheet capital to extinguish corporate debt ahead of schedule.
