Business
Opportunity Financial, LLC ("OppFi"), a leading financial
technology platform that powers banks to help everyday consumers
gain access to credit, announced today it has been named the 7th

This is the third consecutive time OppFi has been named a Crain’s
Fast 50, ranking fourth in 2019 and eighth in 2020.
“Being named to this prestigious list for the third year is
truly a great honor. As a Chicago-based fintech, this recognition
holds extra meaning to us because it recognizes our dedication to
building a great place to work both in Chicagoland and virtually,”
said Jared Kaplan, chief executive officer, OppFi. “This is an
exciting time to be a part of OppFi. We are building the digital
financial services destination for the everyday consumer to deliver

millions of consumers who are locked out of mainstream financial
products. OppFi plans to launch OppFi Card in the second half of
