DO NOT REFINANCE A VEHICLE THRU THIS COMPANY!! I made my payments every month, explained that my credit was suffering due to serious medical issues and COVID again. Medical bills we piling up and credit cards were late. Then I was hit by another driver on my way to work, the other driver was at fault. I totally kept this worthless company up to date the entire time BUT what did they do?? They lolligag about getting paper work to insurance company, delaying the check and causing me more car rental because once GA Farm Bureau and I agreed on the amount they would pay, the car rental was stopped by the insurance company and was totally paid out of my pocket at $66 a day...for 10 days!! GA Farm Bureau stated they had to call them twice to get the final paperwork. FINALLY!! Republic Finance calls that they get their check for $10,000 on my totaled car...BUT guess what? They WON"T even lend me the money for a down payment to replace my car because I have late payments on my credit score!!! COLD HEARTED, TERRIBLE COMPANY! I want to stop as many innocent people from falling into the mess I am in due to this company. Silver tongued lying company that has absolutely no feelings. I am 67 years old, with heart problems and diabetes. I haven't been able to pay for my diabetes meds since the wreck! Remember if they will do this to the elderly who kept them up to date....they will do it to their own mother or grandmother! Do not listen to the lies of how they care for their customers.

since 1952. We offer personal loans from bill consolidations, home improvements, vacations, car

What is the difference between pre-qualifying for a loan and applying for a loan?
Pre-qualification gives you an estimate of loan terms you may qualify for based on your credit and the
information you provide. Final approval and loan terms are contingent on completion of a full loan
application.
I received a loan check in the mail, is it real?
Yes, it is a real loan check! A loan check is a pre-approved loan offer. Click here for more information
about our loan checks.
What is the difference between interest rate vs APR?
The interest rate deals with the costs you will pay to borrow money. The interest rate only includes
the interest percentage you will be charged for borrowing the money and does not include any other
fees you might be required to pay on the loan.
The Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) is not the same as the interest rate. The APR is the interest rate
plus the fees you may be required to pay on the loan (i.e., origination fees, closing fees, documentation
fees, and other finance charges) and is expressed in terms of a percentage rate. The APR will typically be
higher than your interest rate.
What does it mean to refinance my loan?
Refinancing a loan replaces your existing loan with a new loan that potentially has a new interest rate,
revised terms, and/or revised repayment timeline. The remaining balance of your former loan will be
included in the loan amount of your refinanced loan along with any loan origination fees and voluntary
insurance products you agree to purchase, if allowed by state law.
How long does it take to get money from Republic Finance?
