 Exhibit 10.6 

REGIONAL MANAGEMENT CORP. 

2015 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 

(As Amended and Restated Effective April 27, 2017) 

STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT 

THIS OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARD AGREEMENT FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, or STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), is made
effective as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto (hereinafter called the “Date of Grant”), between Regional Management Corp., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company”), and the
individual set forth on the signature page hereto (hereinafter called the “Participant”), pursuant to the Regional Management Corp. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective April 27, 2017), as it may be
further amended and/or restated (the “Plan”), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. 
  

	1.	Grant of Award. 

 The Company hereby grants to the Participant an Other Stock-Based Award
in the form of an Award of shares of Common Stock (the “Award”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, for the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) set forth on the signature
page hereto, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Plan. 
  

	2.	Vesting. 

 The Shares subject to the Award shall be vested immediately as of the Date of
Grant; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Award and the Shares shall be subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be provided under the terms of the Plan or this Agreement. 

 

	3.	Rights as a Stockholder; Settlement of Award. 

 (a)    The
Participant shall not have any rights to dividends, voting rights or other rights of a stockholder with respect to Shares subject to an Award unless and until certificates for such Shares have been issued to him (or other written evidence of
ownership in accordance with Applicable Law has been provided). A certificate or certificates for the Shares subject to the Award (or other written evidence of ownership) shall be issued in the name of the Participant as soon as practicable after
the Award has been granted. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement, the Participant shall have all voting, dividend and other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares following issuance of the certificate or
certificates (or other written evidence of ownership) for the Shares. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of
the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, no Shares shall be distributable pursuant to the Award prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the Award or the Shares under any Applicable Law (including, but not limited to, the
requirements of the Securities Act) that the Administrator shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable. 

 (c)    The Company shall not be liable to the Participant for damages
relating to any delays in issuing the certificates to him (subject to any Code Section 409A requirements), any loss of the certificates, or any mistakes or errors in the issuance of the certificates or in the certificates themselves. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the issuance of Shares may, in the Company’s discretion, be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent permitted under the Plan. 

(d)    The Award shall be payable in whole Shares. The total number of Shares that may be acquired pursuant to the Award
(or portion thereof) shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. 
  

	4.	No Right to Continued Employment or Service; No Right to Further Awards. 

 Neither the
Plan nor this Agreement nor any other action related to the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate the
Participant’s employment or service at any time. The grant of the Award does not create any obligation to grant further awards. 
  

	5.	Legend on Certificates. 

 The Shares acquired pursuant to the Award shall be subject to
the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which such Shares are listed and any other Applicable Law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any
certificates for such Shares to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
  

	6.	Transferability. 

 The Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or
otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and
unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate; provided that the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance. No such permitted transfer of the Award to heirs or
legatees of the Participant shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Administrator shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of such evidence as the Administrator may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions hereof. 
  

	7.	Withholding; Tax Consequences. 

 (a)    Prior to the delivery of a
certificate or certificates for the Shares subject to the Award (or other written evidence of ownership), the Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any Affiliate in cash the amount of any tax or other amount required by any
governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company or an Affiliate to such authority for the account of the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold (including
from payroll or any other amounts 

  
 2 

 
payable to the Participant), any applicable withholding taxes in respect of the Award or any payment or transfer under or with respect to the Award and to take such other action as may be
necessary in the opinion of the Administrator to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Administrator, the Participant may satisfy, in whole
or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by delivery of shares of Common Stock held by the Participant (which are fully vested and not subject to any pledge or other security interest) or by having the Company withhold from the number of
Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant hereunder Shares with a Fair Market Value as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined no greater than the aggregate amount of such withholding obligations based on the maximum
statutory withholding rate in the Participant’s applicable jurisdiction for federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax purposes. The Participant further agrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy all
applicable federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company which may arise in connection with the Award. 

(b)    The Participant acknowledges that the Company has made no warranties or representations to the Participant with
respect to the tax consequences (including but not limited to income tax consequences) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Participant is in no manner relying on the Company or its representatives for an
assessment of such tax consequences. The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon the grant of the Award and/or the acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to the Award and that he has been advised that he
should consult with his own attorney, accountant and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to enter into this Agreement and the consequences thereof. The Participant also acknowledges that the Company has no responsibility to take or refrain from
taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax result for the Participant. 
  

	8.	Compliance with Applicable Law. 

 Upon the acquisition of any Shares pursuant to the
Award, the Participant will make or enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Administrator may reasonably request in order to comply with Applicable Law or with the Plan or this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated to issue, deliver or transfer Shares, to make any other distribution of benefits or to take any other action, unless such delivery, distribution or action is
in compliance with Applicable Law (including but not limited to the requirements of the Securities Act). 
  

	9.	Notices. 

 Any notice necessary under this Agreement shall be addressed to the Company in
care of its Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and to the Participant at the address appearing in the personnel or business records of the Company for the Participant or to either party at such other address as either party
hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed effective upon receipt thereof by the addressee. 

  
 3 

	10.	Governing Law. 

 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the state of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws, and in accordance with applicable federal laws of the United States. Any and all disputes between the Participant or any person claiming through him and the Company or any Affiliate
relating to the Plan or this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of Greenville, South Carolina, or the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Greenville division, as appropriate. 

 

	11.	Award Subject to Plan. 

 By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and
acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan and Plan prospectus. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Award is subject to the Plan. The terms and provisions of the Plan, as they may be amended from time to
time, are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In the event of a conflict between any express term or provision contained herein and a term or provision of the Plan, the applicable terms and provisions of the Plan will govern and prevail, unless
the Administrator determines otherwise. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. 
  

	12.	Signature in Counterparts. 

 This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
  

	13.	Amendment; Waiver; Superseding Effect. 

 This Agreement may be modified or amended as
provided in the Plan. The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. The Agreement supersedes any statements,
representations or agreements of the Company with respect to the grant of the Award or any related rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any such statements, representations or agreements. 

 

	14.	Recoupment and Forfeiture. 

 As a condition to receiving the Award, the Participant
agrees that he shall abide by the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy and Stock Ownership and Retention Policy (including but not limited to such policy’s stock retention requirements) and/or other policies adopted by the Company or
an Affiliate, each as in effect from time to time and to the extent applicable to the Participant. Further, the Participant shall be subject to such compensation recovery, recoupment, forfeiture or other similar provisions as may apply under
Applicable Law. 
  

	15.	Administration. 

 The authority to construe and interpret this Agreement and the Plan,
and to administer all aspects of the Plan, shall be vested in the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have all powers with respect to this Agreement as are provided in the Plan. Any interpretation of this Agreement by the Administrator and
any decision made by it with respect to this Agreement is final and binding. 

  
 4 

	16.	Severability. 

 The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more
provisions shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Agreement, and the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been
included. 
  

	17.	Right of Offset. 

 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the
Company may at any time (subject to any Code Section 409A considerations) reduce the amount of any payment or benefit otherwise payable to or on behalf of the Participant by the amount of any obligation of the Participant to the Company or an
Affiliate that is or becomes due and payable, and, by entering into this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have consented to such reduction.

 Exhibit A

Terms and Conditions of Restricted Cash Award

This Agreement shall not become effective, and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award or the Cash, unless and until the Participant has fully executed this Agreement by accepting the Award online as described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant does not otherwise reject this Award in a writing to the Company’s Compensation Department within 90 days of the Date of Grant or such other manner as the Company may specify from time to time in its sole discretion, the Participant shall be deemed to have accepted the Award, and the terms and conditions hereof, as of the Date of Grant.

Subject in each case to the Participant’s Continuous Service (as defined in the Plan) on each applicable vesting date, the Cash awarded under this Agreement shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth below unless, prior to any vesting date set forth, the applicable Award is forfeited or has become subject to accelerated vesting under the terms and conditions of the Plan:

Prior to actual settlement of any Award that has vested, the Award will represent an unfunded, unsecured obligation of the Company in accordance with Section 17.13 of the Plan.

3.    Termination of Continuous Service.  If the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates due to death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), then all Awards that have not vested shall become immediately vested in full upon such termination.  If the Participant’s Continuous Service terminates for any other reason, then all Awards that are not vested at the time such termination shall be automatically and immediately forfeited for no consideration.
4.    No Right to Continued Employment. The granting of the Cash Award evidenced hereby and this Agreement shall impose no obligation on the Company or any Affiliate to continue the employment of the Participant and shall not lessen or affect the Company’s or its Affiliate’s right to terminate the employment of such Participant.
5.    Change in Control.  If a Change in Control occurs, all Awards that remain unvested and have not been previously forfeited shall become immediately vested in full, effective immediately prior to such Change in Control.

The Participant shall not directly or indirectly sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber the non-vested Awards or any interest in and unvested Award, or make any commitment or agreement to do any of the foregoing, except to the extent permitted by Section 11.3 of the Plan.  
7.    Settlement.  The Company shall, as soon as practicable upon the vesting of any Award (but in no event later than two and a half (2 1⁄2) months following the end of the fiscal year in which vesting occurs), effect delivery of the Cash to fully settle such vested Award to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Beneficiary). No Cash will be issued pursuant to this Award unless and until all legal requirements applicable to such issuance have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee. 
8.    Section 409A.  This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code or an exemption thereunder and shall be construed and interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for avoiding additional taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code and in no event shall the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant on account of non-compliance with Section 409A of the Code.
9.    Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  The Company may in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Award granted under the Plan and participation in the Plan, or future Award that may be granted under the Plan, by electronic means or to request the Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  The Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to participate in the Plan through an on-line (and/or voice activated) system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.
10.    Data Privacy.

names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Company’s Compensation Department.  The Participant authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Cash acquired upon settlement of this Award.

For more information on the consequences of a refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact the Company’s Compensation Department.
11.    Government and Other Regulations.  The grant of the Cash Award is subject to all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority which may be applicable thereto and, notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof, the Participant acknowledges that the Company will not be obligated to issue any Cash hereunder if the grant or vesting thereof or the issuance of such Cash, as the case may be, would constitute a violation by the Participant or the Company of any such law, regulation or order or any provision thereof.  The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the vesting of the Cash pursuant hereto to comply with any such law, regulation, order or provision.
12.    Miscellaneous Provisions.
(a)    The Award is granted under and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein and made part hereof by this reference.  In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan, as interpreted by the Board or the Committee, shall govern. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, the terms of the Plan, as interpreted by the Board or the Committee, shall govern and all decisions under and interpretations of the Plan or this Agreement by the Committee or the Board shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participant and his heirs and legal representatives.   The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a true copy of the Plan and that the Participant has read the Plan carefully and fully understands its content.  
(b)    This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement and the Plan supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.  
(c)    If the Participant has received this Agreement or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

        

(d)    The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
(e)    This Agreement may be executed or deemed executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.    
(f)    Defined terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Plan.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this grant of Award to be executed, as of the Date of Grant.
