Get to know the pawnbrokers who serve the people of Illinois.
The Frank Ingram Memorial Scholarship program is named in honor of one of the founding members of IPA and modeled after the Neighborhood Scholarship program he launched as a picnic for neighborhood children twenty years ago. We’re proud to continue this leagacy and invite students to apply. See last year’s winners.

What We Do
What is a pawn?
Most consumers have never done business in a pawnshop, so pawnbroking is frequently misunderstood.

Serving Illinois Consumers
Just Say Pawn.
A pawnshop offers a transaction that is entirely unique from anything else.
For that reason, we must work to educate legislators, consumers, and others about our industry.
