Sovereign lender
Owned by the Chippewa Cree Tribe
Overview
Plain Green is a tribal lender owned by the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation. Loans are structured as fixed installments, but APRs (200%–400%) are payday-tier. The key legal nuance: tribal sovereignty can place these loans outside the consumer-protection rules of your home state, so the safety net is thinner.
