Oportun

At Oportun, we’re building a community—and it starts with you. Come build something great with us.

We love showing up to work every day. We love what we do and the people we work with. We work hard and we have fun doing it. We’ve been named a best place to work in the San Francisco Bay Area for four years running and a Best Fintech to Work For by American Banker.

We think you’ll love working here, too. Especially if you’re the kind of person looking for:

• A mission-driven community of colleagues who believe in building a better future for all
• The opportunity to think creatively and design innovative solutions that impact the lives of many
• A collaborative working environment supported by humble leadership
• Great benefits and a path to grow in your career

We understand how difficult it can be to make ends meet. That’s why we’re designing a suite of products and services to help people take control of their finances. We’re successful when our customers are successful, and we want nothing more than to see our community thrive. So we support our community along the way with resources and programs to help them build a better future.

• 3.2 million loans disbursed
• 1.5 million people given access to affordable credit
• $1.5 billion saved in interest and fees for our personal loan customers, compared to alternative lenders
• 760,000 people without a FICO® credit score are establishing a credit history

We’re proud of all we do to serve the 100 million people in the United States who are typically cut out of the financial mainstream. And we’ve been recognized as a responsible lender by the United States Department of the. Treasury with certification as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).

Not very many people can say that when they start their day, they know exactly who they are helping. At Oportun, we know that we’re having a positive impact on the 100 million people in the United States who don’t have a credit score. We build systems from the ground up to solve problems that others haven’t. And we design innovative solutions tailored to the people we serve. Our team is focused on using technology to give people access to the capital they need—and help them build a better future.

We're blushing, but it's rewarding to see our work recognized by others:

• We’ve made learning part of our DNA, so we tap team members to design knowledge-sharing courses for the rest of the team—including our CEO Raul Vazquez, who teaches a series on the ins and outs of conscious leadership
