Real Life Real Hope

We’re Here For You.

Starting down the path to a healthy financial lifestyle can be intimidating and sometimes seem out of reach. However, we're here to tell you that you can achieve financial success and we'll be with you every step of the way.

At Ascentra, we understand that people need someone to give them a chance. Whether that be funds to purchase a reliable car, a loan to start building your credit, or to get out of the cycle of using payday lenders, we're here to help. Our team will sit down with you, assess your needs and meet you where you are.

We'll be the first to say that your approval for a loan does not only rely on your credit score alone. To most financials, that's their deciding factor, but to us, that's just a number. We value you as a member and see you for more than just those 3 digits.

We know real life happens, and we're here to give you hope.

I Just Needed...

Someone to give me a chance

“This place is amazing. Staff here is very friendly. I had horrible credit and they still worked with me to get a credit card, then gave me a car loan, then a personal loan. Soon I'll get a house loan through them. Every time I go there I am not disappointed. I truly believe the staff is there to help you out. If you go to the Bettendorf location I highly recommend going through Kally she is amazing and responds very quickly.”

A reliable car

“We have been with Ascentra for about 10 years now. Went in after being there for a few years, knew we had no chance with our credit to be able to get a car loan and we sat down and spoke with Carrie the Branch Manager on Division & 3rd St Davenport. She believed in us. She gave us a chance and has been with us through our growth and helped rebuild our credit. It’s been 6 years now since we sat in her office for the 1st time ever and Carrie along with all of Ascentra has been by our side and is trying to make something out of this American dream every one is trying to build. Thank you guys so much for everything. Will never go anywhere else.”

Someone to give me a loan

“My wallet was stolen a few weeks before Christmas and I had a lot of cash in my wallet. It put me in a terrible position for providing for my three kid’s so I decided to try to get a loan. With my credit I didn’t qualify for as much as I was wanting but they worked with me and I got what I needed. Everything went smoothly for getting the loan and it was very easy to make extra payments and easy to pay off. I’d do this again if I needed it and recommend this company to everyone!”
