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.
Pros
- Available in some states that prohibit traditional payday lending
- Larger amounts than a typical payday loan
- Fixed installment repayment
Cons
- Tribal lenders operate under tribal law; state consumer protections may not apply
- APRs are high
- Credit-reporting practices vary
Eligibility & requirements
- Verifiable income
- Active checking account
- Government-issued ID
