What We Do
Since 1941, 1st Franklin Financial Corporation has had one goal—Serving communities by offering opportunities to individuals and families through financial services. It’s been over 85 years since Founder Ben F. Cheek, Jr. made his first $34 auto loan. While times have changed, our commitment to customers has not. Our customers know us and more importantly, we know them. This commitment is why we’ve been able to help generations of families in times when they have needed us most.
With over 325 loan offices in 8 states, 1st Franklin Financial Corporation continues to provide personal loans, supplying our customers with the cash they need. With offices located primarily in rural locations, we understand the struggles in these areas. We offer loans for auto repairs, home improvements, or debt consolidation. We can help with starter loans, wedding loans, medical expense loans, funeral loans, or a small personal loan to help you meet day to day expenses. We also offer Retail Sales Financing to help our local small businesses grow. Whatever the need, we can answer all of your loan questions and help you find a solution.
