AFIC Gives Back to the Texas Community
American Finance & Investment Co., Inc (AFIC) and its subsidiaries have been operating in Texas since the 1940s, providing financial services, and more recently, property tax loans to countless individuals and companies and giving back to our community. Learn about the history of AFIC and its philanthropic and charitable ventures to give back and support the Texas community and future generations.
History of AFIC
Texas has a long history of property tax lending, dating back to the Great Depression when lawmakers began tightening tax policies. AFIC is a multi-generational, family-run company, previously led by former Chairman of the Board Jack Eisenberg, son Cliff Eisenberg, and now by grandson Ernest Eisenberg. Founded in 1946, American Finance & Investment Co., Inc. (AFIC) started by serving the financial needs of El Paso and has since grown to become one of the top property tax lenders in the state of Texas, with a complaint-free track record for over 65 years with the Better Business Bureau.
As a member of the Texas Property Tax Lienholders Association (TPTLA), AFIC has played a strong leadership role in the property tax industry here in Texas. The TPTLA was founded to raise awareness for the property tax loan industry and promote high standards of behavior for its members.
How AFIC Gives Back to the Texas Community
AFIC not only aims to be a leader in the Texas property tax loan industry but takes great pride in giving back to the greater Texas community, serving in a leadership capacity in numerous philanthropic and local religious institutions.
Furthering the education of El Paso students pursuing business education, AFIC is privileged to have established the Jack Eisenberg/Coca-Cola Endowed Scholarship Fund at the University of Texas at El Paso and the Interstate Capital Scholarship at the University of Texas at Austin, McCombs School of Business.”My grandfather was very invested in providing educational opportunities to local, hardworking students. He thought it important to give students the opportunity to further their business education, and it’s something we delight in and will continue to support,” explains Ernest Eisenberg.
