Shady Practices
Shady. Pre-approved offer but it's bogus since it has a range for the amount. Enter the prided code on the site and they don't show you options, rates or terms. They want to call you. Avoid, likely a scam or predatory lender.
While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

I’ll start with the icing on the cake. Republic First Funding claims on their website to be “rated ‘Great’ on TrustPilot.” This is an obvious lie, since (until mine) they had zero reviews on TrustPilot and had the standard average 3.5 rating assigned by TrustPiilot as a baseline score. Received a “pre approved personal loan” letter in the mail. Info in the letter featured “too good to be true” rates, which contradicted themselves within the letter and also contradicted info on their website. Very difficult to find any info about the company online such as even a single review anywhere. Interestingly, there was quite a bit of info on a couple of other financial institutions with similar names. Perhaps they hoped we’d see the great rating on TrustPilot for First Republic Bank (A completely separate entity.) and believe mistakenly, that to be connected to Republic First Funding?
