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

The size of your loan approval depends on many factors, such as state of residence and income.
