Why should I consider borrowing money from Pawnbroker Financial Services instead of my FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) insured bank?
The FDIC, an understandably conservative federal regulatory agency, imposes certain requirements on banks that can, in many instances, create hardships for pawnbrokers seeking bank financing.

For example, banks commonly protect themselves, from recourse initiated by bank examiners, by substantially over-collateralizing loans. Furthermore, when there is a negative material change in market conditions or in the physical aspects of the collateral perfecting the bank loan, the fine print in your loan agreement often provides the opportunity for the bank to call your loan.

Would Pawnbroker Financial Services consider my loan portfolio as collateral for a loan?
Unlike most bankers and traditional lending institutions, Pawnbroker Financial Services will consider your loan portfolio as collateral to perfect a security interest in the monies advanced to you under PFS extensions of credit.

Has Pawnbroker Financial Services adopted a non-discrimination lending policy?
Pawnbroker Financial Services does not discriminate against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. Any pawnbroker has the right to file a credit application with Pawnbroker Financial Services.

Will Pawnbroker Financial Services conduct an onsite review of my business?
In most cases, Pawnbroker Financial Services will conduct onsite review of pawnshops associated with the extension of PFS credit. A PFS representative will physically review your inventory, loan portfolio, furniture, fixtures, equipment and other aspects of your business deemed necessary in a fair evaluation of your request for credit.
