I just lost my job this year andi was struggling to the point of losing everything. I was two payments behind and they worked with me until I got another job. And guess what, y'all were the first persons I paid. I appreciate the empathy. My pride was suffering every time I had to call and say my payment wasn't coming yet. Same response each time: as long as you keep in touch and tell us what's going on and make whatever effort you can, we'll help. I'll keep my business with RF and recommend them to anyone looking for a loan. Thank you guys.

The manager at this location Jessica is the most professional and kind hearted buisness woman that you could ever want to help you with your financial decisions. She knows how exactly how to help someone in a financial struggle with high or low debt giving various options and solutions on how to relieve a person from stress and financial woes. I have dealt with several loan services and by far Republic Finance has given me the best experience with loan service supervisors like Jessica who again is the best. I totally recommend her services at Republic Finance in Alcoa,Tn. Let her help you........you will not regret it.

If you get a call from a guy named Chavis do not believe a word he says. He quoted me on a loan, I drove 45 minutes to get there and nothing he said was true. I don’t see how or why the company keeps him working there as it seems he “does his own thing a lot”. I suggest talking to the manager to get the number before coming in. I would love a call from ownership or corporate about this! I will update everyone. So as you can see they replied by telling me to contact them. If they really cared they would contact me. They have my information!
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
