Lendmark Financial Services, founded in 1996, is a community-oriented consumer finance company dedicated to providing personalized lending solutions. Headquartered in Lawrenceville, Georgia, the company has established a significant presence across the United States, operating over 500 branches in 22 states. Lendmark specializes in serving customers who may be underserved by traditional banking institutions, offering a range of financial products including direct personal loans, automobile loans, debt consolidation, and retail merchant sales financing. The company's approach is rooted in building trusted, one-on-one relationships with its clients. Unlike online-only lenders, Lendmark emphasizes a high-touch service model, with trained professionals who assess individual needs to provide safe and responsible credit solutions. This personalized approach ensures that each customer receives a financial plan tailored to their specific circumstances, with fixed rates, terms, and payments designed to be manageable and transparent.
The company's mission extends beyond lending; it is deeply committed to community involvement and corporate philanthropy. A cornerstone of its community efforts is the 'Lendmark Climb to Cure' initiative, which supports pediatric cancer research and has raised millions of dollars since its inception. This commitment to giving back is ingrained in the company's DNA, with employees actively participating in local causes through volunteerism and donations. Lendmark's growth from a small subsidiary of First Liberty Bank to a major player in the consumer finance industry is a testament to its consistent and reliable service. The company's success is driven by the quality of its employees and a core set of values: Loyalty, Engaging, Nurturing, and Decisiveness (LEND). By focusing on these principles, Lendmark continues to expand its footprint, aiming to be the lender, employer, and partner of choice in the communities it serves, thereby empowering household wealth and providing stability for thousands of Americans.
