What does a financial service company like American First Finance do?
American First Finance identifies as a consumer financial technology company. This means, they bring their loan solutions online particularly by amortizing payment schedules; allowing lease-to-own setups; and improving customer checkout with cart integrations. The company uses its own underwriting system that allows clients to receive personalized offers within minutes.
What are their products and services?
American First Finance offers the following products and services:
- Retail Installment – is an agreement between the customer and the retailer where goods or services will be provided following the guidelines in your contract. Down payments may or may not be required, but you may choose to make a down payment which will then be deducted from the financed amount. With American First Finance, retail installments are offered with flexible payments; product, service, labor, and sales tax coverage; and zero penalties for early payoffs.
- Lease-to-Own – is when American First Finance buys the product for the customers and leases it to them. The customers may then opt to buy the merchandise through the Early Buyout Option (within 90 to 101 days of the agreement) or Early Purchase Option (will be specified in your agreement).
- Bank Products – American First Finance offers loans and discount programs. FinWise underwrites these loans while American First Finance services your account for the bank. With the Finance U Graduation Program, customers may get lower subsequent loan rates.
- Ecommerce Solutions – cart integrations and cart cash prevent customers from abandoning their online carts by allowing no-credit financing upon checkout.
- Rent Advance – this service helps clients pay their rent or place a deposit for a new place. It can cover full or partial rent or down payment from $300 to $5,000. Clients will pay their rent advance over time through installment loans.

Confusing Contracts
American First Finance claims you can pay as you go and there’s total transparency with their contract rates, terms, and conditions. However, a lot of consumers claim they never saw the complete contract at the store–they simply digitally signed a tablet or at a kiosk. Quick contracts can be very confusing. For example, did you sign a retail installment contract or a lease-to-own contract? Or, do you have a secured or unsecured loan? How about a rent advance (what is that?!)? The confusion does not stop here. What’s the difference between an early buy-out option and an early purchase option? A lot of consumers are also shocked to find out about the first 90 or 101 days triggering events in the contracts.
Poor Customer Service
Customers of American First Finance who have had issues with their products or have had issues with their payments have found that customer service representatives can be difficult to deal with. The complaints largely involve payment issues, phone calls, confusing contracts, and defective products. Unfortunately, these complaints are just the beginning for American First Finance. Between customer service issues, contract issues, and defective products, American First Finance customers are left wondering what options they have regarding their consumer rights.
