Overview
Elastic, a product of Republic Bank, is a revolving line of credit aimed at non-prime borrowers. Instead of a posted APR, you pay a 5%–10% cash-advance fee per draw plus a carried-balance fee each billing cycle. The flexibility is real — but the all-in effective APR typically lands in the 65%–99.99% range, so use it for short bridges rather than long-running debt.
