In recent news, Oportun entered into a $400 million whole loan flow sale agreement with Castlelake, an experienced investor in the consumer credit sector, to acquire personal loan production from Oportun over the next 12 months. This strategic relationship underscores the sustained strong demand for Oportun's lending products among institutional investors and is expected to bolster Oportun's mission of financial inclusion.

Despite some challenges, including an 82% decline in stockholder return since its IPO in late 2019, Oportun's core business remains robust.
