Never in my life, have I ever experienced a business that (I believe) actually enjoyed being rude, nasty and disrespectful to their customers. Webster’s dictionary defines the word EMPATHY has: : the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another. I reference this because Republic Finance doesn’t care about their customers at all. They only care about the money; literally they don’t give a crap if you happen to have a major life event. Most of us are literally living paycheck to paycheck…but they don’t care… they are very condescending, rude and lack empathy. Most other loan companies have empathetic employees who actually care about their customers to the point where they actually have programs and actually work with you. When it comes to choosing to make a payment or to keep a roof over your head, they don’t care about your roof or your house they want their money. All of the employees are extremely condescending and so disrespectful. There are so many other loan companies in Greenville that care about their customers and are willing to work with you. If you are looking to be treated like an actual human being, or treated with respect, look into ANY/ALL other loan companies!

Got a small loan and went through a rough spell husband lost his job. I still ended up paying them and have been paying them for 2 years and remember I said I got a SMALL loan. So I’m in the process of buying a house now and come to find out they haven’t been reporting any of my payments. They still have the same amount showing up as it was 2 years ago. Can’t wait til they call me this month for a payment. DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE!!!
At Republic Finance we have been helping our customers meet their financial needs and life goals
since 1952. We offer personal loans from bill consolidations, home improvements, vacations, car
purchases, car repairs, and other unplanned expenses, we're here to help you!
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
