Easy loan process and website is user friendly. I forgot to make my payment and they called with a friendly reminder not the typical collection call. Friendly people.

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?
If you qualify for electronic funding, the funds will be deposited in your bank account within 1-2
business days. When closing a loan in a physical Republic Finance office location, you will receive your
funds the same day in the form of a paper check.
How much can you borrow from Republic Finance?
The size of your loan approval depends on many factors, such as state of residence and income.
However, the largest loan amount you can pre-qualify for online with Republic Finance is $10,000.

If you do not make your payments on time, you may be charged a late charge. You can call your local
