Republic Bank Recognized as a Best Online Lender by Newsweek
Louisville, Ky. (October 25, 2023) -- Republic Bank & Trust Company ("Republic" or the "Bank") has been named to Newsweek’s Best Online Lenders in America 2024 list in multiple categories. The rankings, a collaboration between Newsweek and Lending Tree, named Republic in five different loan types across two categories. The Bank received recognition for three different loan types in the Best Customer Satisfaction category and for two different loan types in the Overall category.
The rankings assessed more than 2,500 financial institutions based on various criteria, including best rates offered to customers, customer satisfaction and availability.
"Republic Bank is pleased to be recognized as a top online lender by Newsweek and LendingTree,” said Logan Pichel, President and CEO of Republic Bank. "Our mortgage lending team is committed to providing exceptional service to our customers. I’m so proud of their efforts to make banking easy for our clients. This recognition would not have been possible without the daily dedication they show our customers.”
LendingTree analyzed lenders who offered loans on their platform in the first half of 2023 across home, auto and personal loans from subprime to super-prime borrowers. The ranking compares the rates across three credit ranges, reviews from customers, closed applications and the availability of loans.
"We’re proud of our lending services and the trust our customers have placed in us,” said Juan Montano, Chief Mortgage Banking Officer. “We’re pleased to continually provide our customers with applications and services that make doing business with us as easy as possible. Our online lending capabilities are a great example of our technological leadership and customer-first approach.”
