FirstCash Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCFS) is a Fort Worth, Texas-based consumer finance company that operates retail pawn stores across the United States, Mexico, the rest of Latin America, and the United Kingdom, organized into four segments: U.S. Pawn, Latin America Pawn, U.K. Pawn, and Retail POS Payment Solutions. The company serves cash and credit-constrained consumers through a dual-revenue pawn model that lends money against pledged personal property such as jewelry, electronics, tools, appliances, sporting goods, and musical instruments, and then resells merchandise acquired through collateral forfeitures. FirstCash was incorporated in 1988 and has traded on the NASDAQ since 1991, adopting its current holding-company name in December 2021.
Beyond its core pawn operations, FirstCash provides retail point-of-sale payment solutions, including lease-to-own (LTO) products and other retail financing options distributed through traditional and e-commerce merchant partners. Pawn lending is a form of non-recourse, small-dollar short-term credit in which the pledged item itself serves as collateral, allowing lenders like FirstCash to mitigate default risk through resale of the collateral rather than collection actions, which distinguishes the segment from most other consumer finance subsectors.
