Frequent moves, deployments, and military spouse unemployment can take a toll on the financial health of military families. Many live paycheck to paycheck and are unable to build up a substantial savings account or an emergency fund. Having to come up with money to pay for a car repair, PCS-related cost, an uncovered medical bill, or other expense can compound already stressful circumstances. If you are a service member and find yourself in this situation, a military loan can help.

Qualifying for a military loan
To determine if you qualify for a loan, we look at several factors including your debts, income and credit history. We also realize that some military members have poor credit—this is not an automatic denial. Most of our lending specialists are former military and they understand the military lifestyle challenges that can sometimes affect a person’s credit score. We look at loan applications on a case-by-case basis and will take certain things into consideration.
Receive funds within hours
The entire process from application to funding can be completed fast, depending on when we receive your application and any required documents. Omni Financial offers easy ways to receive your funds.
Direct Deposit – We can deposit your funds into any stateside checking or savings bank account, and most U.S.-based banking institutions overseas. Once your funds are credited, they will be available for immediate withdrawal. You’ll pay no check cashing fees.
Instant access – An even faster way to receive your funds is with an optional prepaid debit card available at all Omni stateside offices. You’ll be able to use your funds immediately.
In-Office Pickup
If you live near a selected Omni office, you can stop by and pick up a Money Network® Prepaid Debit Card and Money Network® Checks. You’ll have easy access to your money** and be able to make purchases anywhere Visa® debit cards are accepted, or get cash back with PIN debit purchases.
Interest rates
Our loans have federal APRs that range from competitively low digits percentages to a maximum of 35.95%. Rates vary and are dependent on various factors such as state law, credit score, debts, the amount and length of the loan, and past credit history. When compared to other military loan companies, you’ll find that Omni’s interest rates are very competitive.
Paying back an Omni military loan
Omni loans are installment loans. You’ll have fixed monthly payments so you’ll know just how much you’ll be expected to pay back each month. Repayment terms range from 6 to 36 months. Upon approval of your loan, you’ll receive documents that will tell you the duration and the schedule of your loan repayment. That means there will be no surprises and you’ll be better able to budget yourself.
Omni makes paying back your loan as easy and hassle-free as possible. We accept payments by cash, check, money order, draft, ACH or the most convenient method, military allotment. With a military allotment, your payment is automatic, no matter where you are in the world or what you are doing.
