How it works — streamlined process

1. Pre-qualification: Use the bank’s quick pre-qualification tools or speak with a lending specialist to get an initial sense of eligibility and potential loan amounts based on basic criteria.
2. Application: Complete the application with required personal or business information. Applications are designed to be concise while collecting the data needed for a timely credit decision.
3. Documentation: Submit any requested supporting documents, such as proof of income, identification, and, for business customers, basic financial statements. The bank aims to limit documentation to what is necessary for the specific credit assessment.
4. Decision: Underwriting teams perform an expedited review. Applicants receive a timely decision, often within hours on the day of submission during business hours.
5. Funding: Upon approval, borrowers can receive funds the same business day, subject to cut-off times and account verification. Funds may be disbursed to a First Citizens account or via an approved transfer method.
6. Repayment: Manage repayment through online banking, automatic transfers, in-branch payments, or other arrangements agreed upon at loan initiation.

Eligibility and documentation

Eligibility criteria are based on a combination of factors including credit history, income or business cash flow, account relationship with First Citizens BancShares, and collateral when applicable. Typical documentation may include:

• Valid government-issued identification.
• Proof of income or business revenue (pay stubs, bank statements, or tax documents).
• Recent account statements to verify deposit history.
• Documentation supporting the intended use of funds for certain business loans.

Specific documentation requirements are communicated during the application process. The bank’s goal is to make requirements as straightforward as possible while maintaining prudent credit standards.

Rates, fees and terms

The Same Day Loan offers competitive pricing that varies depending on the borrower’s credit profile, loan size, term length, and collateral considerations. All applicable interest rates, origination fees, and any other charges are disclosed before final approval so borrowers can make an informed decision. Financing is subject to credit approval and may include variable or fixed-rate options depending on product specifics.

Borrowers are encouraged to review the disclosure documents carefully, which outline annual percentage rate (APR), repayment schedule, prepayment policies, and any late payment or returned item fees. Transparent terms and clear communication are central to First Citizens BancShares’ approach to lending.

Repayment flexibility

Repayment options are designed to fit the varied needs of individuals and businesses. Borrowers can select from several repayment schedules, such as short-term weekly or monthly payments, or set up automated withdrawals for convenience. Early repayment is typically permitted without penalty, though specific terms are detailed in the loan agreement. For business customers, tailored cash flow arrangements may be available to align repayments with revenue cycles.

First Citizens BancShares follows stringent security practices to safeguard customer information throughout the application and servicing lifecycle. Personal and financial data are handled under established privacy policies and protected using industry-standard encryption and access controls.

Common questions

Can I receive funds the same day?

Same-day funding is available for approved applications submitted within the bank’s funding cut-off times. Final funding timing depends on the completeness of required documents, verification steps, and regulatory checks.

What determines approval?

Approval is based on creditworthiness, income or business cash flow, account history, and other underwriting criteria. Existing customers may benefit from streamlined verifications.

Are there penalties for early repayment?

Terms regarding early repayment, if any, are disclosed in the loan agreement. In many cases, borrowers may repay early without incurring a penalty, but borrowers should confirm before finalizing the loan.
