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, LA, MS, SC, TN – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,000
State: GA – Minimum Loan Amount: $1,250
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?
