LEXINGTON, Tenn. — Nashville-based fintech company Advance Financial recently cut the ribbon at the company’s newest store in Tennessee, located in Lexington. To mark the occasion, the Advance Financial Foundation donated $1,000 to Henderson County 4-H.

“It’s a mission of ours to be a valuable part of every community where we offer our services,” said Shantrelle Johnson, vice president of corporate citizenship for Advance Financial. “Through the Advance Financial Foundation, we are able to assist local organizations who are also working to make a difference. It is an honor to support the exceptional programs they offer.”

The new Lexington location, located at 11 West Church Street, is now open for business 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering a range of services including FLEX loans, prepaid cards, electronic wire services to anywhere in the world, check cashing, free bill-payment services and free money orders.

“Opening another store is always exciting for us because it means we have a whole new community to interact with and get to know,” said Jessica Jackson, Advance Financial regional director. “We look forward to helping customers regain their financial independence right here in their neighborhood.”
