We always prefer for you to visit many convenient locations during regular business hours so we have the pleasure of meeting you in person. However, we understand that schedules can be busy. You can also start an application by phone by calling your local branch.
Once we have all the necessary information, it typically only takes a few minutes to process your application.
Once you sign your loan documents in the office, you will walk out with cash!
Not at this time. All our loan closings are done at your servicing branch location.
You will need to bring your most-recent pay stub, state-issued ID, proof of residence, recent bank history and social security card. You will also need to provide us with the names and phone numbers of personal references. Finally, to sign-up for electronic payments, you will need to bring a bank-issued document that includes your name, account, and routing numbers – typically a direct deposit form will do!
We understand that your time is valuable. Typically we are able to process all the necessary paperwork and verifications in 30 minutes or less and have you out the door with cash-in-hand!
We help people with poor or no credit every day. Just give your information to one of our team members and they will do everything they can to get your loan approved.
Most of our branches do require recent bank history. However, we do accept recent bank history from most of the online and non-traditional banks as well.
No, we will not run a credit report. We do not base our loan approval on a credit score or your credit report, which is different than many of our competitors.
Minimum income requirements vary. At Kinsmith Finance, we do not want to burden you with a payment you cannot afford to make. Our goal is to be part of your solution, not another problem.
We consider ourselves experts in helping individuals with past credit issues. Our Kinsmith Finance team members will get to know your situation and do everything they can to help you, regardless of past credit issues.
We try to help as many people as we can, but there are certain instances where we are not able to approve an application. If you application was turned down, you will receive a letter by mail explaining the reasons behind the decision. You can also contact the branch location that processed your application for an explanation.

Our office hours vary slightly by location. Generally, we are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We encourage you to visit the Location Page, search for the office closest to you, and check their business hours.

Yes, you may pay your loan off at any time without a prepayment penalty. In fact, we encourage you to make larger than minimum payments or to pay your loan off early to save interest or fees. Our goal is a happy customer because we want you to tell your friends and family about your wonderful experience with us!
Our loans are paid back in easy and affordable bi-weekly or monthly installments (based on how often you get paid). You can make your payment in the office or by phone. Most of our customers prefer the convenience of paying by ACH. Call one of our offices for more details.
We understand financial circumstances can change, sometimes in an instant, and we want to help. We are successful when you are successful and strive to come up with arrangements we can both feel good about. Call your servicing branch to discuss your situation with a representative.
