Springleaf Holdings Inc

A consumer finance company that made personal installment loans — fixed-rate, fixed-term loans for debt consolidation, home improvements, and everyday needs — serving borrowers who had limited access to traditional bank credit through a nationwide network of local branches. Its roots trace to 1920, when it was founded in Evansville, Indiana as Interstate Finance Corporation, later becoming American General Finance before rebranding as Springleaf in 2011. The name "Springleaf" was a fresh identity adopted after private-equity owners took over, and in 2015 the company acquired rival OneMain Financial and eventually took on that name.
