About Us
American First Financial Services was founded more than 35 years ago by Charles Bradley Jr., who began his career in banking with American Bank. After years on the cutting edge of auto financing, he saw a need that larger banks often overlooked — customers with not-so-perfect credit who still deserved honest, affordable options.
Built on that belief, we’ve continued helping people in Baton Rouge and across Louisiana find fair financing solutions. We take time to listen, understand each customer’s situation, and work together toward a deal that makes sense. It doesn’t always go perfectly, but fairness, integrity, and second chances remain at the heart of everything we do.
