* A Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) is a loan secured by your tax refund and is offered by Republic Bank & Trust Company to qualifying applicants, and is available to Electronic Refund Check or Deposit (ERC or ERD) customers. If approved for a RAL, a Finance Charge and Credit Investigation Fee will apply. RAL proceeds are available within 24 hours of IRS acceptance. A Tax Refund Administration Fee and other fees may apply for the ERC or ERD, and will be deducted from the customer’s tax refund. Visit your tax preparer to learn about all filing and product options, including obtaining your refund without a loan and at no additional cost. **Special expires 5/2/12.
