Get StartedWhy Texas residents choose allotment loans
Built for federal pay
Allotment loans are structured around federal and military payroll, making them a natural fit for government workers and retirees in Texas.
Accessible approvals
Because repayment is guaranteed by payroll deduction, lenders can often work with credit scores that banks reject.
No collateral required
Allotment loans are unsecured — your car, home, and savings stay untouched.

The federal footprint in Texas is substantial: Fort Cavazos near Killeen — one of the largest military installations in the world — Joint Base San Antonio, Fort Bliss in El Paso, and NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
For the employees, service members, and retirees connected to these installations and agencies — many of them in and around Houston, San Antonio, and Austin — an allotment loan fits the way federal pay already works. Allotments are established through your agency's payroll system, and the same mechanism that covers savings bonds, TRICARE premiums, or insurance premiums can service a loan payment. Nothing changes in how you get paid, except that a fixed amount is routed to your lender on every payday until the loan is complete.
Federal pay makes you eligible — use it.

Can federal retirees and military families in Texas apply?
Yes. Allotment loans are available to federal retirees whose pension is paid through OPM systems, and to active-duty service members and their families where the service member's pay supports a voluntary allotment. Availability of specific offers depends on the lender and your pay system.
What exactly is an allotment loan?
An allotment loan is an installment loan repaid through a payroll allotment: an instruction to the federal payroll system (such as myPay for service members and Department of Defense civilians, or the NFC/OPM systems for other federal employees and retirees) to deduct a fixed amount from every paycheck and send it straight to the lender. Because repayment is automatic, lenders can often approve applicants with lower credit scores.
Do allotment loans require a credit check in Texas?
Requirements vary by lender. Many participating lenders use a soft inquiry or alternative underwriting that looks at your federal employment, pay grade, and allotment capacity instead of a traditional hard credit pull, so checking your offer typically does not affect your credit score.
How is an allotment loan different from a payday loan?
A payday loan is due in full on your next payday, which forces many borrowers into repeat borrowing. An allotment loan is an installment loan spread over multiple pay periods with fixed deductions, so each payment is smaller and the payoff date is defined. There is also no requirement to repay your entire check at once.
