Oculen is a financial technology company, not a bank. Lines of credit and draws are issued by Harrow & Pine Bank, N.A., Member FDIC, and in some states by Calder Trust Bank. All credit is subject to approval. Checking your rate uses a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score; accepting an offer and drawing funds results in a hard inquiry. APRs range from 7.9% to 29.9% fixed and depend on credit history, income and term. Representative example: $10,000 over 36 months at 12.4% APR is 36 payments of $334.06, $12,026.05 in total. No origination, annual or early repayment fees; a $15 fee applies to payments more than 15 days late. The card is issued under licence by the same partner banks. Oculen, Harrow & Pine Bank and Calder Trust Bank are fictional names used in this template.
