Description

The California Superior Court denies a high-cost installment loan creditor's (Opportunity Financial) attempt to dismiss a cross-complaint brought by the state alleging that the creditor was not the true lender in a rent-a-bank scheme with Finwise. The case is notable for a discussion of other cases dealing with whether a bank in a rent-a-bank scheme is the  true lender.
