Enova International, Inc. (ENVA) Business

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services. In 2025, we extended approximately $7.8 billion in credit or financing to borrowers. As of December 31, 2025, we offered or arranged loans or draws on lines of credit to consumers in 37 states in the United States and Brazil. We also offered or arranged financing to small businesses in 49 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financing, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers and small businesses that have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through December 31, 2025, we have completed approximately 69.3 million customer transactions and collected more than 95 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include installment loans and line of credit accounts.

We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.

We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our more than 21 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine machine learning-enabled analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions. Approximately 90% of models used in our analytical environment are machine learning-enabled.

Our flexible and scalable technology platforms allow us to process and complete customers’ transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2025, we processed approximately 4.3 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loan and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platforms allow us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly. In October 2020, we acquired, through a merger, On Deck Capital Inc. (“OnDeck”), a small business lending company offering lending and funding solutions to small businesses, to expand our small business offerings. In March 2021, we acquired Pangea Universal Holdings (“Pangea”), which provides mobile international money transfer services to customers in the U.S with a focus on Latin America and Asia. These products and services have allowed us to further diversify our product offerings and customer base.

We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lenders. We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.

Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partner typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and allow us to complete a high volume of customer transactions while actively managing risk and the related credit quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technological innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competing platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable credit quality.

Products and Services

Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds to their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees and/or interest. We originate, arrange, guarantee, purchase or purchase a participating interest in installment loans and line of credit accounts to consumers and small businesses. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services. Our loans and finance receivables generally have regular payments that amortize principal. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective, non-accelerated yield basis over the contractual term of the installment loan or estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts.

Consumer installment loans. Certain subsidiaries (i) directly offer installment loans, (ii) as part of our Bank Programs, as discussed below, purchase, or purchase a participating interest in, installment loans or (iii) as part of our CSO program, arrange and guarantee installment loans, as discussed below, to consumers in 37 states in the United States. Internationally, we also offer or arrange unsecured consumer installment loan products in Brazil. Terms for our consumer installment loan products range between 3 and 60 months with an average contractual term of 39 months. These loans have regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $300 and $10,000. The majority of these loans accrue interest daily at a fixed rate for the life of the loan and have no fees. The average annualized yield for these loans was 90% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Loans may be repaid early at any time with no additional prepayment charges.

Small business installment loans. Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business installment loans in 49 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Terms for these products range between 6 and 24 months with an average contractual term of 15 months. These loans have regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $400,000. There is generally a fee paid upon origination, and total interest is typically calculated at a fixed rate for the life of the loan. A portion of the interest is forgivable if prepaid early, although we also offer a full prepayment forgiveness option at a higher interest rate. The average annualized yield for these products was 48% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Consumer line of credit accounts. Certain subsidiaries directly offer, or purchase participation interests in receivables through our Bank Programs, new consumer line of credit accounts in 31 states (and continue to service existing line of credit accounts in two additional states) in the United States. Line of credit accounts allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit, which ranges between $100 and $7,000. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of the line of credit account. The repayment period varies depending upon certain factors, which may include outstanding principal and differences in minimum payment calculations by product. Customers are typically charged a fee when funds are drawn and subsequently incur fee- or interest-based charges at a fixed rate, depending upon the product and the state in which the customer resides. The average annualized yield for these products was 147% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Small business line of credit accounts. Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business line of credit accounts in 49 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Terms for these products range between 12 and 24 months with regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $200,000. Interest is calculated at a fixed rate based on the outstanding balance. There is generally no fee paid upon origination with the exception of one of our small business line of credit products, which has an origination fee when allowed by state law. The average annualized yield for these products was 49% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

CSO program. We currently operate a credit services organization or credit access business (“CSO”) program in Texas. Through our CSO program, we provide services related to a third-party lender’s installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO program include credit-related services such as arranging loans with an independent third-party lender and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”). When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO program, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, the lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We, in turn, are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase the loan, which has terms of up to six months, if it goes into default.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding amount of active and current consumer loans originated by third-party lenders and guaranteed by us under the CSO program was $22.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively.

Bank programs. Certain subsidiaries operate programs with certain banks (“Bank Programs”) to provide marketing services and loan servicing for certain installment loans and line of credit accounts. The Bank Programs that relate to the consumer portfolio in the United States include near-prime unsecured installment loans and line of credit accounts for which our subsidiaries receive marketing and servicing fees. The bank has the ability to sell, and the participating subsidiaries have the option, but not the requirement, to purchase

2

the loans or a participating interest in receivables the bank originates. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans and line of credit accounts originated by the bank. In conjunction with our Brazilian business, we also have a Bank Program with a separate bank in Brazil whereby the bank has the authority to originate loans and collect a service fee. After origination, the loans are purchased by us. The Bank Program that relates to the small business portfolio is with a separate bank and includes installment loans and line of credit accounts. We receive marketing fees while the bank receives origination fees and certain program fees. The bank has the ability to sell and we have the option, but not the requirement, to purchase the installment loans the bank originates and, in the case of line of credit accounts, extensions under those line of credit accounts. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans or line of credit accounts originated by the bank.

As of December 31, 2025, we operated programs with five separate bank partners. Purchases under these programs represented 31.6% and 32.0% of our consolidated originations and purchases for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Management does not deem there to be significant reliance on any of our banking partners.

Money transfer business. Under our Pangea brand, we operate a money transfer platform that allows customers to send money from the United States to Mexico, other Latin American countries and Asia. The customer pays us in U.S. dollars, and we then make local currency available to the intended recipient of the transfer in one of many termination countries. Our revenue model includes a fee per transfer and an exchange rate spread. Our customers can access our proprietary platform via the website, Android app, or iOS (Apple) app.

Our Markets

We currently provide our services in the following countries:

United States. We began our online business in the United States in May 2004. As of December 31, 2025, we provided services in all 50 states and Washington D.C. We market our financing products under the names CashNetUSA at www.cashnetusa.com, NetCredit at www.netcredit.com, OnDeck at www.ondeck.com and Headway Capital at www.headwaycapital.com, and we market our money transfer platform under the name Pangea at www.pangeamoneytransfer.com. The United States represented 97.5% of our total revenue in 2025 and 98.0% of our total revenue in 2024.

Brazil. In June 2014, we launched our business in Brazil under the name Simplic at www.simplic.com.br, where we arrange unsecured consumer installment loans for a third-party lender. We plan to continue to invest in and expand our financial services program in Brazil. Brazil represented 2.4% of total revenue in 2025 and 1.9% of total revenue in 2024.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics

We have achieved significant growth since we began our online business as we have expanded our product offerings organically and through strategic acquisitions. We measure our business using several financial and operating metrics. Our key metrics include combined loans and finance receivables outstanding, in addition to other measures described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The breakout of the combined loans and finance receivables and revenue of our product offerings is set forth below:

Our Industry

The internet has transformed how consumers and small businesses shop for and acquire products and services. According to a study by the United Nations, 74% of the world’s population had access to the internet in 2025. Accompanying the rise in internet usage is the continued disruption of storefront retail by e-commerce companies like Amazon, as consumers are routinely purchasing goods and interacting with businesses online. The U.S. Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce reported e-commerce saw a 5.1% increase in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, e-commerce sales as a percent of total quarterly retail sales in the United States accounted for 16.4% in the third quarter of 2025. In addition, a number of traditional financial services, such as banking, bill payment and investing, have become widely available online. A November 2025 report by the American Bankers Association found that approximately 76% of bank customers in a U.S. sample have used mobile apps or online banking as a means of accessing banking services in the past 12 months. This level of use highlights the extent to which consumers now accept the internet for conducting their financial transactions and are willing to entrust their financial information to online companies. We believe the increased acceptance of online financial services has led to an increased demand for online lending and financing, the benefits of which include customer privacy, easy access, security, 24/7 availability to apply for a loan or financing, speed of funding and transparency of fees and interest.

We use the internet to serve the large and growing number of underbanked consumers and small businesses that have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. In its Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2024 published in May 2025, the Federal Reserve noted that relatively small, unexpected expenses, such as a car repair or a modest medical bill, can be a hardship for many families and that, when faced with a hypothetical expense of $400, 37 percent of adults said they could not cover it completely using cash, savings or a credit card paid off at the end of the month, revealing the need for alternative sources. The Federal Reserve also reported that a sizable portion of the population (17%) is unbanked or underbanked. In 2025, according to the same study, the Federal Reserve also reported a 2% decrease in the origination of new consumer credit over the past 12 months.

Small businesses are also impeded by a lack of access to credit from traditional lenders. According to a 2025 study by the Federal Reserve Banks, 55% of employer firms used personal funds to address their business’s financial challenges. Online lending and funding options have emerged as a solution for small businesses that are seeking capital.

We believe that consumers and small businesses seek online lending services for numerous reasons, including because they often:

•
prefer the simplicity, transparency and convenience of these services;

•
require access to financial services outside of normal financial services storefront hours;

•
have an immediate need for cash for financial challenges and unexpected expenses;

•
have been unable to access certain traditional lending or other credit services; and

•
seek an alternative to the high cost of bank overdraft fees, credit card and other late payment fees and utility late payment fees or disconnect and reconnection fees.

Our Customers

Our non-prime consumer base is comprised largely of individuals who earn an average annual income of $42,000 in the United States. The non-prime lending market is sizable in the United States and Brazil. We estimate there is an $85 billion consumer lending opportunity market in the United States. In Brazil, we estimate there to be a $49 billion consumer loans market. Small business lending is also an attractive market opportunity, with an estimated total U.S. small business loan market of $313 billion. Tighter banking regulations have forced banks to vacate the U.S. market for loans under $1 million. According to a 2025 study by the Federal Reserve Banks, loans under $250 thousand accounted for 78% of all small business loan applications. Our small business customers have median annual sales of approximately $585 thousand and an average operating history of 11.4 years.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths position us well for continued growth:

•
Significant operating history and first mover advantage. As an early entrant in the online lending sector, we have accumulated more than 95 terabytes of currently accessible consumer behavior data from more than 69 million transactions. This database allows us to market to a customer base with an established borrowing history as well as to better evaluate and underwrite new customers, leading to better loan performance. In order to develop a comparable database, we believe that competitors would need to incur high marketing and customer acquisition costs, overcome customer brand loyalties and have sufficient capital to withstand higher early losses associated with unseasoned loan portfolios. Additionally, we are licensed in all jurisdictions that require licensing and believe that it would be difficult and time-consuming for a new entrant to obtain such licenses. We have also created

4

strong brand recognition over our more than 21 years of operating history and we continue to invest in our brands, such as CashNetUSA, NetCredit, OnDeck, Headway Capital, Simplic and Pangea, to further increase our visibility.

•
Proprietary analytics, data and underwriting. We have developed a fully integrated decision engine that evaluates and rapidly makes credit and other determinations throughout the customer relationship, including automated decisions regarding marketing, underwriting, customer contact and collections. Our decision engine currently handles more than 100 algorithms and over 1,000 variables. These algorithms are constantly monitored, validated, updated and optimized to continuously improve our operations. Our machine learning-enabled proprietary models are built on over 21 years of lending history, using advanced statistical methods that take into account our experience with the millions of transactions we have processed during that time, and the use of data from numerous third-party sources. Since we designed our system specifically for our specialized products, we believe our system provides more predictive assessments of future loan behavior than traditional credit assessments, such as the Fair Isaac Corporation score (“FICO score”), and therefore, results in better evaluation of our customer base. With OnDeck, we have a loan decision process, including the proprietary OnDeck Score®, which provides us with significant visibility and predictability to assess the creditworthiness of small businesses and allows us to better serve more customers across more industries.

•
Scalable and flexible technology platforms. Our proprietary technology platforms are designed to be powerful enough to handle the large volume of data required to evaluate customer applications and flexible enough to capitalize on changing customer preferences, market trends and regulatory requirements. These platforms have enabled us to achieve significant growth as we expanded our product offerings. We began offering installment loans in the United States in 2008, then added line of credit products in 2010 and have experienced significant growth since. Due to the scalability of our platform, we were able to achieve this growth without significant investment in additional infrastructure, and over the past three years, capital expenditures have averaged only 1.8% of revenue per year. We expect our advanced technology and underwriting platform to help continue to drive significant growth in our business.

•
Customer First approach. We believe that non-prime credit consumers and small businesses are not adequately served by traditional lenders. To better serve these consumers and small businesses, we use customer-focused business practices, including extended-hours availability of our customer service team by phone, email and web chat. We continuously work to improve customer satisfaction by evaluating information from website analytics, customer surveys, contact center feedback and focus groups. Our contact center teams receive training on a regular basis and are monitored by quality assurance managers. We believe customers who wish to access credit or financing again often return to us because of our dedication to customer service, the transparency of our fees and interest charges and our adherence to trade association “best practices.” As of January 2026, NetCredit, CashNetUSA, OnDeck and Headway Capital have Excellent TrustScores of 4.8, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.3, respectively, on Trustpilot. Trustpilot is an online customer review platform that hosts 300+ million reviews of businesses worldwide who use it for insights into customer satisfaction. A TrustScore is calculated on a scale from 1 to 5, giving more weight to newer reviews. Each brand’s score is at the upper end of customer satisfaction ratings in the non-bank financial services industry. NetCredit, CashNetUSA, OnDeck and Headway Capital have also achieved an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

•
Diligent regulatory compliance. We conduct our business in a highly regulated industry. We are focused on regulatory compliance and have devoted significant resources to comply with laws that apply to us in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including laws and regulations relating to interest, fees, loan durations and renewals or extensions, loan amounts, disclosures and underwriting requirements. Our compliance experience and proprietary technology platform allow us to launch new products and enter new geographic regions with a focus on compliance with applicable laws and customer protection. We are members of industry trade groups, including the Online Lenders Alliance in the United States, which has promulgated “best practices” for our industry that we have adopted, and the Innovative Lending Platform Association, a leading trade organization representing a diverse group of online lending and service companies serving small businesses. The flexibility of our online platform enables us to rapidly adapt our products as necessary to comply with changes in regulation, without the need for costly and time-consuming retraining of store-based employees and other expenses faced by our storefront competitors.

•
Proven history of growth and profitability. Over the last five years, we grew the principal balance of our loans and finance receivables at a compound annual growth rate of 30.3%, from $1,263.1 million as of December 31, 2020 to $4,748.0 million as of December 31, 2025. Over the same period, our revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate of 23.8%, from $1,083.7 million in 2020 to $3,151.7 million in 2025 and our net income from continuing operations was $378.1 million in 2020 and $308.4 million in 2025, and our net income from continuing operations as a percent of revenue was 34.9% in 2020 and 9.8% in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, grew at a compound annual growth rate of 14.6%, from $415.3 million in 2020 to $820.9 million in 2025 and adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenue was 38.3% in 2020 and 26.0% in 2025.

•
Top Talent and Teamwork. We believe we have one of the most skilled and talented teams of professionals in the industry. Our employees have exceptional educational backgrounds, with numerous post-graduate and undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. We hire and develop top talent from graduate and undergraduate programs at institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago and Harvard University. The extensive education of our team is complemented by the experience our leadership team obtained at leading financial services companies and technology firms such as optionsXpress, Discover Financial Services, First American Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Groupon.

Our Growth Strategy

•
Increase penetration in existing markets through strong brands and direct marketing. While we have some of the most well-known online lending brands in the markets where we currently operate, we believe that we have directly reached only a small number of potential customers for our products and services. Our TV and digital advertising have raised awareness for our brands, improving effectiveness in both direct and indirect channels. In addition to our strong online and direct mail acquisition activities, our consumer and small business lending businesses both partner with marketplaces and other marketing service providers to grow our customer base. We believe our competitors – banks as well as smaller and less sophisticated online and store-based lenders – struggle to adapt to evolving customer preferences and marketing regulatory requirements, giving us the opportunity to continue to gain significant market share.

•
Introduce new products and services. We plan to attract new categories of consumers and small businesses not well served by traditional lenders through the introduction of new products and services. We have introduced new products and customer-friendly product features to meet customer demand for timely, flexible credit options including installment loans, line of credit accounts, and small business loans and financing, many of which offer risk-tiered rate structures and some that offer performance-based rate reduction features. We also offer international money transfer services for people working in the U.S. sending money to people overseas. All of these leverage our analytics expertise and our flexible and scalable technology platform. One of our first, industry changing product introductions was offering short-term unsecured installment loans and line of credit accounts to working people who previously were limited to two-week loans, bank overdrafts, or pawn loans. Next, starting over ten years ago, our NetCredit business began offering one of the first longer duration installment loan products reporting to major credit-reporting agencies for near-prime consumers in the U.S. and, in 2019, we launched a line of credit product for that market with a performance-based fee reduction feature. In 2014, we launched our business in Brazil, where we arrange installment loans with convenient repayment features for borrowers in partnership with a third-party lender. In October 2020, we acquired OnDeck, a small business lending company, to expand our small business lending and funding offerings in the U.S., joining it with our line of credit product from Headway Capital (established in 2014). In 2016, we launched a program for chartered banks where we provide technology, loan servicing and marketing services to banks to allow them to offer unsecured consumer installment loans and line of credit accounts; with the acquisition of OnDeck, the program expanded to small business installment loans and line of credit accounts. In March 2021, we added international money transfer services with the acquisition of Pangea, which provides mobile international money transfer services to customers in the U.S. In December 2025, we agreed to acquire Grasshopper, which we expect will provide opportunities for simplicity in certain regulatory areas, expanded product and market reach and access to lower-cost funding. We intend to continue to evaluate and offer new products and services that complement our online specialty financial services in order to meet the growing needs of consumers and small businesses.

Online Financing Process

Our consumer and small business financing transactions are conducted almost exclusively online. When a customer is approved for a new loan, nearly all customers choose to have funds promptly deposited in their bank account and choose to use a pre-authorized debit for repayment from their bank account or debit card.

We have created a quick and simple process for customers to apply for an online loan, as shown below:

Technology Platforms

Our proprietary technology platforms are built for scalability and flexibility and are based on proven open source software. The technology platforms were designed to be powerful enough to handle the large volumes of data required to evaluate consumer and small business applications and flexible enough to capitalize on changing customer preferences, market trends and regulatory changes. The scalability and flexibility of our technology platforms allow us to enter new markets and launch new products quickly, typically within three to six months from conception to launch.

We continually employ technological innovations to improve our technology platforms, which perform a variety of integrated and core functions, including:

•
Front-end system, which includes external websites, landing pages and mobile sites and applications that customers use when applying for loans or financing and managing their accounts;

•
Back-end and customer relationship management (“CRM”) systems, which maintain customer-level data and are used by our contact center employees to provide real-time information for all inquiries. Our back-end system and CRM systems include, among other things, our contact management system, operational and marketing management system, automated phone system, Interactive Voice Response and contact center performance management system;

•
Decision engine, which leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to rapidly evaluate and make credit and financing decisions throughout the customer relationship; and

•
Financial system, which manages the external interface for funds transfers and provides daily accounting, reconciliation and reporting functions.

The key elements of our technology platforms include:

•
Scalable Information Technology infrastructure. Our Information Technology infrastructure allows us to meet customer demand and accommodate business growth. Our services rely on accessing, evaluating and creating large volumes of data including, for example, information collected from nearly 100 million credit reports during 2025. This rich dataset has grown significantly over our more than 21 year history and will continue to grow as our business expands. We believe that our scalable IT infrastructure enables us to meet substantial growth demands.

•
Flexible software and integration systems. Our software system is designed to allow us to enter new markets and launch new products rapidly, modify our business operations quickly and account for complex regulatory requirements imposed in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We have developed a proprietary software solution that allows us to innovate quickly and to improve the customer experience. Our integration system allows us to easily interface with banks and other strategic partners in order to deliver the best financial products and services possible. Our software and integration systems and their flexibility allow us much more control over the continually evolving aspects of our business.

•
Rapid development processes. Our software development life cycle is rapid and iterative to increase the efficiency of our platform. We are able to implement software updates while maintaining our system stability.

7

•
Security. We collect and store personally identifiable customer information, including names, addresses, social security numbers and bank account information. We have safeguards designed to protect this information. We also created controls to limit employee access to that information and to monitor that access. Our safeguards and controls have been independently verified through regular and recurring audits and assessments.

•
Redundant disaster recovery. Certain key parts of our technology platform, such as our phone system for handling customer service on consumer loans, are distributed across two different locations. In addition, critical components of our platform are redundant. This provides redundancy, fault tolerance and disaster recovery functionality in case of a catastrophic outage.

Proprietary Data and Analytics

Decision Engine

We have developed a fully integrated decision engine that evaluates and rapidly makes credit and other determinations throughout the customer relationship, including automated decisions regarding marketing, fraud, underwriting, customer contact and collections that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled models. Our decision engine currently handles more than 100 algorithms and over 1,000 variables. The algorithms in use are constantly monitored, validated, updated and optimized to continuously improve our operations. In order to support the daily running and ongoing improvement of our decision engine, we have assembled a highly skilled team of approximately 90 data and analytics professionals as of December 31, 2025.

Proprietary Data, Models and Underwriting

Our proprietary models are built on more than 21 years of history, using advanced statistical methods that take into account our experience with the millions of transactions we have processed during that time and the use of data from numerous third-party sources. We continually update our machine learning-enabled underwriting models to manage risk of defaults and to structure loan and financing terms. Our system completes these assessments within seconds of receiving the customer’s data.

Our underwriting systems are able to assess risks associated with each customer individually based on specific customer information and historical trends in our portfolio. We use a combination of numerous factors when evaluating a potential consumer loan applicant, which may include a consumer’s income, rent or mortgage payment amount, employment history, external credit reporting agency scores, amount and status of outstanding debt and other recurring expenditures, fraud reports, repayment history, charge-off history and the length of time the customer has lived at his or her current address. While the relative weight or importance of the specific variables that we consider when underwriting a loan changes from product to product, generally, the key factors that we consider for loans include monthly gross income, disposable income, length of employment, duration of residency, credit report history and prior loan performance history if the applicant is a returning customer. Similar factors are considered for small business loan applicants and also include length of time in business, online business reviews, and sales volumes. Our customer base for consumer loans is predominantly in the low to fair range of FICO scores, with scores generally between 500 and 680 for most of our loan products. We generally do not take into account a potential customer’s FICO score when deciding whether to make a loan. A Vantage-Score is one of the factors in our credit models for our near-prime loan products in the United States. Since we designed our system specifically for our specialized products, we believe our system provides more predictive assessments of future payment behavior and results in better evaluation of our customer base when compared to traditional credit assessments, such as a FICO score. In the small business space, we utilize the OnDeck Score® in our decision models, which incorporates small business credit scores from various commercial credit bureaus, the cash flow data of the small business and the personal credit attributes of the business’ owner(s).

Fraud Prevention

Our fraud prevention system is built from in-depth analysis of previous fraud incidences and information from third-party data sources. To ensure sustainable growth, our fraud prevention team has built systems and processes that leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled models to detect fraud trends, identify fraudulent applications and learn from past fraudulent cases.

Working together with multiple vendors, our systems first determine whether customer information submitted matches other indicators regarding the application and that the applicant can authorize transactions for the submitted bank account. To prevent more organized and systematic fraud, we have developed predictive models that incorporate signals from various sources that we have found to be useful in identifying fraud. These models utilize advanced data mining algorithms, machine learning-enabled algorithms and artificial intelligence to effectively identify fraudulent applications with a very low false positive rate. In addition, we have built strong loan processing teams that handle suspicious activities efficiently while minimizing friction in customer experience. Our fraud prevention system incorporates algorithms to differentiate customers in an effort to identify suspected fraudulent activity and to reduce our risks of loss from fraud.

8

We continuously develop and implement ongoing improvements to these systems and, while no system can completely protect against losses from fraud, we believe our systems provide protection against significant fraud losses.

Marketing

We use a multi-channel approach to marketing our online loans and financing products, with both broad-reach and highly-targeted channels, including television, digital, direct mail, telemarketing and partner marketing (which includes lead providers, independent brokers and marketing affiliates). The goal of our marketing is to promote our brands and products in the online lending marketplace and to directly acquire new customers at low cost. Our marketing has successfully built strong awareness of and preference for our brands, as our products have achieved market leadership through the following:

•
Traditional advertising. We use television, direct mail and radio advertisements, supported by technology infrastructure and key vendors, to drive and optimize website traffic and loan volume. We believe our investments through these channels have helped create strong brand awareness and preference in the customer segments and markets we serve.

•
Digital acquisition. Our online marketing efforts include pay-per-click, keyword advertising, search engine optimization, marketing affiliate partnerships, social media programs and mobile advertising integrated with our operating systems and technology from vendors that allow us to optimize customer acquisition tactics within the daily operations cycle.

•
Partner marketing. We purchase qualified leads for prospective new customers from a number of online lead providers and independent brokers and through marketing affiliate partnerships. We believe that our rapid decision making on lead purchases, strong customer conversion rate and significant scale in each of our markets make us a preferred partner for lead providers, brokers and affiliates while at the same time our technology and analytics help us determine the right price for the right leads.

•
User experience and conversion. We measure and monitor website visitor usage metrics and regularly test website design strategies to improve customer experience and conversion rates.

Customer Service

We believe that our in-house contact center and our emphasis on superior customer service are significant contributors to our growth. To best serve our consumers and small businesses, we use customer-oriented business practices, such as offering extended-hours customer service. We continuously work to improve our customers’ experience and satisfaction by evaluating information from website analytics, customer satisfaction surveys, contact center feedback, call monitoring and focus groups. Our contact center teams receive training on a regular basis, are monitored by quality assurance managers and adhere to rigorous internal service-level agreements. We do not outsource our contact center operations, except for our Simplic and Pangea businesses.

Collections

We operate consumer and small business-specific collection teams that have implemented loan and financing collection policies and practices designed to optimize regulatory compliant loan and financing repayment, while also providing excellent customer service. Our collections employees are trained to help the customer understand available payment alternatives and make arrangements to repay the loan or financing. We use a variety of collection strategies to satisfy a delinquent loan or finance receivable, such as settlements and payment plans, or to adjust the delivery of finance receivables. Employees are continually trained and coached towards improvement based on quality assurance and work effort audits resulting in continued success in presenting best available payment options to the customer while limiting complaints and dissatisfaction.

Contact center employees contact customers following the first missed payment and periodically thereafter. Our primary methods of contacting past due customers are through phone calls, letters and emails. At times, we sell loans that we are unable to collect to debt collection companies or place the debt for collection with debt collection companies.

Competition

We have many competitors. Our principal competitors are consumer and small business loan and finance companies, CSOs, online lenders, credit card companies, auto title lenders and other financial institutions that offer similar financial products and services, including loans on an unsecured as well as a secured basis. We believe that there is also indirect competition to some of our products, including bank overdraft facilities and banks’ and retailers’ insufficient funds policies, many of which may be more expensive alternative approaches for consumers and small businesses to cover their bills and expenses than the consumer and small business loan and financing products we offer. Some of our U.S. competitors operate using other business models, including a “tribal model” where the lender follows the laws of a Native American tribe regardless of the state in which the customer resides.

9

We believe that the principal competitive factors in the consumer and small business loan and financing industry consist of the ability to provide sufficient loan or financing size to meet customers’ financing requests, speed of funding, customer privacy, ease of access, transparency of fees and interest and customer service. We believe we have a significant competitive advantage as an early mover in many of the markets that we serve. New entrants face obstacles typical to launching new lending operations, such as successfully implementing underwriting and fraud prevention processes, incurring high marketing and customer acquisition costs, overcoming customer brand loyalty and having or obtaining sufficient capital to withstand early losses associated with unseasoned loan portfolios. In addition, there are substantial regulatory and compliance costs, including the need for expertise to customize products and obtain licenses to lend in various states in the United States and in international jurisdictions. Our proprietary technology, analytics expertise, scale, international reach, brand recognition and regulatory compliance would be difficult for a new competitor to duplicate.

Because numerous competitors offer consumer and small business loan and financing products, and many of our competitors are privately held, it is difficult for us to determine our exact competitive position in the market. We believe our principal online competitors in the United States include a variety of privately held, technology enabled lenders. Storefront consumer loan lenders that offer loans online or in storefronts are also a source of competition in some of the markets where we offer consumer loans, including Ace Cash Express, Check Into Cash, Check ‘n Go and One Main Financial. For online small business financing, we believe our main competitors include traditional banks, legacy merchant cash advance providers, and newer, technology-enabled FinTech lenders.

Intellectual Property

Protecting our rights to our intellectual property is critical, as it enhances our ability to offer distinctive services and products to our customers, which differentiates us from our competitors. We rely on a combination of trademark laws and trade secret protections in the United States and other jurisdictions, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, to protect the intellectual property rights related to our proprietary analytics, predictive underwriting models, tradenames and marks and software systems. We have several registered trademarks, including NetCredit, CashNetUSA and our “e” logo. OnDeck also has registered trademarks in the United States, including “OnDeck,” “OnDeck Score” and the OnDeck logo. These trademarks have varying expiration dates, and we believe they are materially important to us and we anticipate maintaining them and renewing them.

Seasonality

Demand for our consumer loan products and services in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers’ receipt of income tax refunds. Demand for our small business loan products and services in the United States has historically been highest in the fourth quarter and early first quarter of each year, corresponding generally to holiday and post-holiday season needs, and lowest at the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter of each year, where we believe that our customers' businesses are generally slower. Consequently, we experience seasonal fluctuations in our domestic operating results and cash needs.

Human Capital

Our Workforce. Our employees are primarily located in the United States, with a portion of our workforce in Mexico and Brazil.

None of our employees are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement or represented by an employee union. We believe we have one of the most

11

skilled and talented teams of professionals in the industry. Our employees have exceptional educational backgrounds, with numerous post-graduate and undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. We hire and develop a diverse range of top talent from graduate and undergraduate programs at premier institutions as well as from coding bootcamps such as Code Platoon. The extensive education of our team is complemented by the experience our leadership team obtained at leading financial services companies and technology firms such as optionsXpress, Discover Financial Services, First American Bank, JPMorgan Chase and Groupon.

We are committed to fostering a culture where everyone is treated equitably and fairly, with a sense of belonging, community and value.

In addition, Enova matches charitable donations from employees to qualifying 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations—up to $500 per employee each calendar year. At a company level, Enova invests financially in organizations that are dedicated to strengthening and broadening access to quality education; improving the lives of children and young adults in need; and providing access to high quality financial literacy programs.

Learning & Development. We offer a combination of required and optional learning and development opportunities to every Enova employee. Our learning and development program is facilitated and guided primarily by our Talent Development team, Operations Learning and Development team, company leaders, subject matter experts and our People team. We utilize an enterprise learning management system (“LMS”) to deliver and manage all online learning. Enova employees can utilize tuition reimbursement or department training budgets for external learning and development.

Market and Industry Data

The market and industry data contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including trends in our markets and our position within such markets, are based on a variety of sources, including our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys, information obtained from customers and publicly available information, as well as from independent industry publications, reports by market research firms and other published independent sources. None of the independent industry publications used in this report were prepared on our behalf.

REGULATION

Our operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal, state, local and international statutes, ordinances and regulations.

U.S. Federal Regulation

Consumer Lending Laws. Our consumer loan business is subject to the federal Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”), and its underlying regulations, known as Regulation Z, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). These laws require us to provide certain disclosures to prospective borrowers and protect against unfair credit practices. The principal disclosures required under TILA are intended to promote the informed use of consumer credit. Under TILA, when acting as a lender, we are required to disclose certain material terms related to a credit transaction, including, but not limited to, the annual percentage rate, finance charge, amount financed, total of payments, the number and amount of payments and payment due dates to repay the indebtedness. The FCRA regulates the collection, dissemination and use of consumer information, including consumer credit information. The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act

12

(“ECOA”) prohibits us from discriminating against any credit applicant on the basis of any protected category, such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or age, and requires us to notify credit applicants of any action taken on the individual’s credit application.

Consumer Reports and Information. The use of consumer reports and other personal data used in credit underwriting is governed by the FCRA and similar state laws governing the use of consumer credit information. The FCRA establishes requirements that apply to the use of “consumer reports” and similar data, including certain notifications to consumers where their loan application has been denied because of information contained in their consumer report. The FCRA requires us to promptly update any credit information reported to a credit reporting agency about a consumer and to allow a process by which consumers may inquire about credit information furnished by us to a consumer reporting agency.

Information-Sharing Laws. We are also subject to the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, which limits the sharing of information with affiliates for marketing purposes and requires us to adopt written guidance and procedures for detecting, preventing and responding appropriately to mitigate identity theft and to adopt various policies and procedures and provide training and materials that address the importance of protecting non-public personal information and aid us in detecting and responding to suspicious activity, including suspicious activity that may suggest a possible identity theft red flag, as appropriate.

Marketing Laws. Our advertising and marketing activities are subject to several federal laws and regulations including the Federal Trade Commission Act (the “FTC Act”), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices and false or misleading advertisements in all aspects of our business. As a financial services company, any advertisements related to our products must also comply with the advertising requirements set forth in TILA. Also, any of our telephone marketing activities must comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (the “TSR”). The TCPA prohibits the use of automatic telephone dialing systems for communications with wireless phone numbers without express consent of the consumer, and the TSR established the Do Not Call Registry and sets forth standards of conduct for all telemarketing. Our advertising and marketing activities are also subject to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which establishes certain requirements for commercial email messages and specifies penalties for the transmission of commercial email messages that are intended to deceive the recipient as to the source of content.

Protection of Military Members and Dependents. The Military Lending Act (“MLA”) is a federal law that limits the annual percentage rate to 36% on certain consumer loans made to active duty members of the U.S. military, reservists and members of the National Guard and their immediate families. The MLA’s implementing regulation also contains various disclosure requirements, limitations on renewals and refinancing, as well as restrictions on the use of prepayment penalties, arbitration provisions and certain waivers of rights. The 36% annual percentage rate cap applies to a variety of consumer loan products. Therefore, due to these rate restrictions, we are unable to offer certain consumer loans to active duty military personnel, active reservists and members of the National Guard and their immediate dependents. Federal law also limits the annual percentage rate on existing loans when the borrower, or spouse of the borrower, becomes an active-duty member of the military during the life of a loan. Pursuant to federal law, the interest rate must be reduced to 6% per year on amounts outstanding during the time in which the service member is on active duty.

Funds Transfer and Signature Authentication Laws. The consumer loan business is also subject to the federal Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”), and various other laws, rules and guidelines relating to the procedures and disclosures required in debiting or crediting a debtor’s bank account relating to a consumer loan (i.e., Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) funds transfer). Furthermore, we are subject to various state and federal e-signature rules mandating that certain disclosures be made and certain steps be followed in order to obtain and authenticate e-signatures.

Debt Collection Practices. Certain subsidiaries are subject to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (“FDCPA”), and for certain other subsidiaries, we use the FDCPA as a guide in connection with operating our collection activities. We are also required to comply with all applicable state collection practices laws.

Privacy and Security of Non-Public Customer Information. Under the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), we must disclose to individuals our privacy policy and practices, including those policies relating to the sharing of individuals’ nonpublic personal information with third parties. The GLBA also requires us to ensure that our systems are designed to protect the confidentiality of individuals’ nonpublic personal information and dictates certain actions that we must take to notify individuals if their personal information is disclosed in an unauthorized manner.

Anti-Money Laundering and Economic Sanctions. We are also subject to certain provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act under which we must maintain an anti-money laundering compliance program covering certain of our business activities. In addition, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) prohibits us from engaging in financial transactions with specially designated nationals.

13

Anticorruption. We are also subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), which generally prohibits companies and their agents or intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits.

CFPB

In July 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), which regulates consumer financial products and services, including consumer loans and remittance transfers that we offer. The CFPB has regulatory, supervisory and enforcement powers over providers of certain consumer financial products and services, including explicit supervisory authority to examine and require registration of certain providers. Pursuant to these powers, the CFPB has examined our lending products, services and practices, and we expect certain products to continue to be examined on a regular basis by the CFPB.

In October 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule entitled “Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans” (the “Small Dollar Rule”), which covers certain consumer loans that we offer. While the ability to repay provisions were rescinded in 2020, the payment provisions remain in effect. These provisions require that if a consumer has two consecutive failed payment attempts, the lender must obtain the consumer’s new and specific authorization to make further withdrawals from the consumer’s bank account. Additionally, lenders must provide certain notices to consumers before attempting a first payment withdrawal or an unusual withdrawal and after two consecutive failed withdrawal attempts. Following a series of constitutional challenges, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the funding structure of the CFPB and the Fifth Circuit upheld the Small Dollar Rule. On March 28, 2025, the CFPB issued a press release entitled “CFPB Offers Regulatory Relief for Small Loan Providers” indicating that the CFPB “will not prioritize enforcement or supervision actions with regard to any penalties or fines associated with the Payment Withdrawal provisions and the Payment Disclosure provisions once they become operative on March 30, 2025.” The CFPB also indicated that it is contemplating issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to narrow the scope of the Small Dollar Rule. If the CFPB elects to prioritize enforcement and we are not able to execute payment process and customer notification changes effectively because of unexpected complexities, costs or otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the Small Dollar Rule will not have a material adverse impact on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On November 15, 2023, we consented to the issuance of a Consent Order by the CFPB pursuant to which we agreed, without admitting or denying any of the facts or conclusions, to pay a civil money penalty of $15 million. The Consent Order related to issues, the majority of which were self-disclosed, including payment processing and debiting errors. Effective August 29, 2025, the CFPB terminated the Consent Order in full and waived any alleged non-compliance therewith.

On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued its final rule to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1071 amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to require financial institutions to collect and report certain data in connection with credit applications made by small businesses, including women- or minority-owned small businesses, and applies to small business loans that we offer. For loans covered by the small business lending rule, a “covered lender” will be required to collect and report on certain information pursuant to an application for credit. Section 1071 requires covered lenders to collect and report information the financial institution generates and information obtained from the applicant, including the applicant’s minority-owned business status, women-owned business status and LGBTQI+-owned status and the applicant’s principal owners’ ethnicity, race and sex, and expressly prohibits a financial institution from discouraging an applicant from responding to requests for applicant-provided data. On June 18, 2025, following various litigation challenges, the CFPB issued an interim final rule to extend the compliance deadlines by approximately one year. It further indicated its intent to initiate a new Section 1071 rulemaking and that it anticipated issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking as expeditiously as reasonably possible. On October 2, 2025, the CFPB published a final rule with the same extended compliance dates provided for in the June interim rule. On November 13, 2025, the CFPB issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to narrow the scope of the rule, including removing certain data points, and to extend the compliance date to January 1, 2028. Absent further court action, legislative action or action by the CFPB, the Company’s small business loan business will need to update its application process to appropriately collect, store and report data required by Section 1071’s implementing regulation. The Company will continue to monitor litigation, rulemaking and bills related to the rule.

For further discussion of the CFPB and its regulatory, supervisory and enforcement powers, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has supervisory authority over our U.S. consumer businesses that could have a significant impact on our U.S. business” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

One Big Beautiful Bill Act

On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The OBBBA’s various provisions include, among other provisions, accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. We have evaluated the OBBBA

14

and reflected its impact on the consolidated financial statements. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.

U.S. State Regulation

Our consumer lending business is regulated under a variety of state statutes, all of which are subject to change and which may impose significant costs or limitations on the way we conduct or expand our business. As of the date of this report, we offer or arrange consumer loans in 37 states that have specific statutes and regulations that enable us to offer economically viable products. We currently do not offer consumer loans in the remaining states because we do not believe it is economically feasible to operate in those jurisdictions due to specific statutory or regulatory restrictions, such as interest rate ceilings, caps on the fees that may be charged, or costly operational requirements. However, we may later offer our consumer products or services in any of these states if we believe doing so may become economically viable because of changes in applicable statutes or regulations or if we determine we can broaden our product offerings to operate under existing laws and regulations.

The scope of state regulation of consumer loans, including the fees and terms of our products and services, varies from state to state. The terms of our products and services vary from state to state in order to comply with the laws and regulations of the states in which we operate. In addition, our advertising and marketing activities and disclosures are subject to review under various state consumer protection laws and other applicable laws and regulations. The states with laws that specifically regulate our consumer products and services may limit the principal amount of a consumer loan, set maximum fees or interest rates customers may be charged and specify minimum and maximum maturity dates. Our collection activities regarding past due amounts may be subject to consumer protection laws and state regulations relating to debt collection practices. In addition, some states require certain disclosures or content to accompany our advertising or marketing materials. Also, some states require us to report consumer loan activity to state-wide databases and restrict the number and/or principal amount of loans a consumer may have outstanding at any particular time or over the course of a particular period of time.

In Texas, where we offer our CSO program, we comply with the jurisdiction’s Credit Services Organization Act and related regulations. These laws generally define the services that we can provide to consumers and require us to provide a contract to the customer outlining our services and the cost of those services to the customer. In addition, these laws may require additional disclosures to consumers and may require us to be registered with the jurisdiction and/or be bonded.

We must also comply with state restrictions on the use of lead providers. In the past, several states took actions that caused us to discontinue the use of lead providers in those states. Other states may propose or enact similar restrictions on lead providers in the future.

A variety of states have recently enacted legislation related to consumer data privacy. The laws have varying consumer protections, including the right to access and delete personal information and to opt-out of the sale of personal information. Other states may propose or enact similar laws in the future.

Over the last few years, legislation that prohibits or severely restricts our consumer loan products and services has been introduced or adopted in a number of states. As a result, we have altered or ceased making consumer loans in certain states, in compliance with the new statutes. We regularly monitor proposed legislation or regulations that could affect our business.

Licensing Requirements – Small Business Loans

In states and jurisdictions that do not require a license to make commercial loans, OnDeck, and certain other of our subsidiaries, typically make commercial installment loans and extend lines of credit directly to customers pursuant to Utah or Virginia law. There are other states and jurisdictions that require a license or have other requirements or restrictions applicable to commercial loans, including both installment loans and line of credit accounts, and may not honor a Utah or Virginia choice of law. In these other states, historically we have originated some installment loans and lines of credit directly but purchased other installment loans and lines of credit from issuing bank partners, the foregoing depending on the requirements or restrictions of these other states. Certain line of credit accounts are extended by an issuing bank partner and we may purchase extensions under those line of credit accounts.

The issuing bank partner establishes its underwriting criteria for the issuing bank partner program in consultation with us. We recommend commercial loans to the issuing bank partner that meet the bank partner's underwriting criteria, at which point the issuing bank partner may elect to fund the installment finance loan or extend the line of credit. The issuing bank partner earns origination fees from the customers who borrow from it and retains the interest paid during the period that the issuing bank partner owns the loan. In exchange for recommending loans to an issuing bank partner, we earn a marketing referral fee based on the loans recommended to, and originated by, that issuing bank partner. Historically, OnDeck has been the purchaser of the loans that it referred to issuing bank partners.

15

Local Regulation—United States

In addition to state and federal laws and regulations, the consumer lending industry is subject to various local rules and regulations. These local rules and regulations are subject to change and vary widely from city to city. Local jurisdictions’ efforts to restrict short-term lending have been increasing. Typically, these local ordinances apply to storefront operations, however, local jurisdictions could attempt to enforce certain business conduct and registration requirements on online lenders lending to residents of that jurisdiction.
