Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to apply for a 1st Franklin loan?
As part of the process, we will need a few documents to secure your loan. You’ll need valid identification, such as driver’s license, social security card or birth certificate, proof of address such as utility or phone bill, voter registration card or mortgage statement, and verifiable income such as paystub, tax return or bank statement.
What loan amounts do you offer?
1ˢᵗ Franklin Financial offers loans up to $15,000. Our Premier Loans are available up to $10,000.
Minimum loan amounts vary by state.
State: AL – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,000
State: GA – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,250
State: LA – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,000
State: MS – Minimum Loan Amount: $600
State: SC – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,000

Can I qualify for a loan if I have a low credit score?
If you have a low credit score, we can still help. We make loans to fit just about any budget.
How long does it take to get approved?
Approvals are done right at the branch, so you can get your money fast. Sometimes in the same day.
How is a 1ˢᵗ Franklin Financial loan different from a payday loan?
1ˢᵗ Franklin Financial is not a payday lender nor do we offer loans secured against a customer’s next paycheck. We offer customers short and long term installment loans with payment plans that fit each customer’s need.

Customer service is fine but the signing process is terrible. I drove two hours to the dealer to fill out an application because I needed to show them an ID. That's fine. But then, instead of being able to sign electronically from home once I was approved, I had to drive all the way back to the dealer again to apply an electronic signature there. What's the point in electronic signatures if I have to do the same running around as if it was a wet signature. Colossal waste of time and a big pain in the you know what.
