AFIC Receives the BBB Legacy of Integrity Award
Some awards are about a single achievement. The BBB Legacy of Integrity Award is about something harder to earn: a long, consistent record of doing right by the people you serve. AFIC is proud to have received this recognition from the Better Business Bureau of El Paso in 2026. For expert advice and a fast quote and closing, contact American Finance and Investment Co., Inc.

What the BBB Legacy of Integrity Award Recognizes
The Better Business Bureau’s Legacy of Integrity Award honors businesses that have demonstrated an exceptional, sustained commitment to ethical business practices. It’s not given for a single transaction, a great quarter, or a spike in customer reviews. It’s awarded to companies that have built — and maintained — a culture of honesty, transparency, and accountability over time.
For a company in the financial services space, where trust is the product, that kind of recognition matters.
Why This Means Something in El Paso
AFIC has called El Paso home since July 15, 1946. Over 80 years, we’ve grown across the Southwest — serving the same neighborhoods, working with the same kinds of families and businesses, and building the kind of reputation that only comes from decades of showing up and doing the right thing.
We’re not a national lender trying to earn local trust. We are local. And in hundreds of counties, where people know their neighbors and word travels fast, your reputation is everything.
The BBB El Paso chapter’s decision to recognize AFIC with this award reflects the relationships we’ve built — with customers, with the community, and with the standards we hold ourselves to every day.
What Integrity Looks Like in Practice
In the property tax lending business, integrity shows up in the details:
- Explaining loan terms clearly, before anyone signs anything
- Never pushing a loan on someone who doesn’t need one
- Treating every customer — first-time borrower or longtime client — with the same respect
- Being reachable, responsive, and honest when things get complicated
- Standing behind the work, long after the paperwork is done
That’s not marketing language. It’s how we’ve operated for eight decades, and it’s why an award for integrity feels like the right kind of recognition.
A Thank You to El Paso
This award belongs as much to our customers and community as it does to us. Eighty years of integrity isn’t built in a boardroom — it’s built in every conversation, every loan, and every relationship with the people across Texas.
We’re grateful for the trust. And we don’t take it for granted.
If you’re a Texas property owner dealing with property taxes, we’d be honored to earn your trust too.
