What Are The Loan Terms?

OkAT, ABLE Tech, and BancFirst, together, are able to provide a variety of lending products to meet consumers' needs. This program is an 8% interest rate loan with flexible lending criteria that can be repaid up to 36-60 months depending on the item purchased. 

Based on funding availability, the loan will either be processed directly with the nonprofit or through the banking partner, BancFirst of Stillwater. Funding priority at the nonprofit will be given to applicants with low income. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be 8% for a loan directly through the nonprofit and will vary through the BancFirst loan due to loan documentation fees.

Loan requests denied by BancFirst will be reviewed by the nonprofit for eligibility for a loan guaranty by the nonprofit.

Financial Loan Success Story

There is an accessible shower with a grab bar on all 3 walls. Sitting on the floor of the shower is a blue and silver shower chair.

Dennis of Cordell had been searching for assistive technology to help him independently complete daily living activities and travel due to his multiple sclerosis. While visiting one of ABLE Tech’s partners, United Access, and receiving a demonstration of adaptive equipment, he learned about ABLE Tech services.  Dennis later utilized the financial loan program to purchase a lift seat for a pickup and a new walk-in shower in his home. The lift seat allows Dennis to get in the family vehicle to go to doctor appointments and physical therapy. The home accessibility modification allows Dennis safe access to a shower and one more opportunity to remain independent.
