Republic Finance’s customers are hardworking Americans who often do not qualify for prime financing from banks and other lenders due to their subprime, nonprime, or near prime credit profiles. Republic Finance is there to meet their needs with transparent, responsible access to credit. Republic Finance fully underwrites each and every loan and customers are not approved for a loan unless there is sufficient evidence to demonstrate the customer’s ability to repay the loan. We help customers who have been historically left-behind with respect and a deep understanding of their needs. Acting with integrity, transparency and empathy is at the heart of our success, and these ethical values inform our interactions with our customers and with one another.

Goals for employees are established based on previous branch results, an employee’s past performance, and a number of other factors. The goals have proven to be attainable as demonstrated by the number of employees who have reached or exceeded their goals. Collection calls are a requirement for all positions in the branch offices and are a normal part of the lending business. Republic Finance complies with all applicable laws regulating how collection activities are conducted. Republic has systems in place to reward quality work, but the employment experience can vary between locations. A number of methods are used to gather employee feedback, including the failure of a manager to provide adequate praise to employees, for resolution.
