APR Context and Factor Pricing Need Different Reading
OnDeck publishes historical average APRs; Credibly’s reviewed direct products use factor pricing. A historical average is not your rate, and Credibly’s conflicting qualification disclosures do not establish an approval advantage.
Reviewed 2026-10-01. Published requirements can change.
OnDeck
Use OnDeck’s average APR only as dated context. Check actual fees, payment frequency and interest remaining on early payoff.
Credibly
Convert Credibly’s quoted factor and fees using the actual payment schedule. Check which fee and discount rules apply to the specific product.

Before You Apply
The financing terms matter, but so does who receives your application and what contact consent you accept.

Third-Party Sharing
OnDeck's privacy policy says personal information may be shared with its parent/affiliates, third-party lenders, loan brokers, lead-generation partners, other business partners, service vendors, advertising vendors, and in specified legal or corporate transactions.

California sale/share requests can be made through OnDeck's privacy-request path or toll-free privacy number.
