Who regulates consumer lending in Oklahoma

Consumer lending in Oklahoma is governed by the Oklahoma Uniform Consumer Credit Code (Title 14A), administered by the Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit, which licenses and supervises non-depository consumer lenders. Under this framework, non-supervised consumer loans are generally limited to a 10 percent per year loan finance charge, while supervised lenders (licensed for rates above 10 percent) may charge tiered finance charges set by statute. SET Financial does not set rates. Any APR, fees, and terms are determined solely by the third-party lender that makes you an offer.

How to check a lender before you borrow

You can confirm a lender is licensed by checking with the Oklahoma Department of Consumer Credit, and you should always review the APR, fees, and repayment terms shown on your loan agreement before signing.

Many consumer lenders are also listed on NMLS Consumer Access, a national database you can search for free to confirm a company's license status and history.

The four numbers to compare on any offer

A regulator's rules tell you about the lender. These tell you about the loan. Whoever you borrow from, and whether or not you use this site, compare offers on the same four things:

  • APR. The annualized cost including most fees. It is the only number that lets you compare two different loans honestly.
  • Total repayment amount. Principal plus every finance charge over the full term. A lower monthly payment stretched longer often costs more overall.
  • Term and payment schedule. How many payments, how often, and the exact due dates measured against when you actually get paid.
  • Fees and prepayment terms. Origination, late, and returned-payment fees, and whether paying the loan off early saves you interest.

Your loan agreement is the number that governs

Federal Truth in Lending rules require the lender to disclose the APR, finance charge, amount financed, and total of payments on the loan agreement before you sign. Any rate you see in marketing, including on this site, is general information. The figures on your own signed agreement are what actually apply to your loan.
