Loan Details
Understanding the key features of tribal installment loans:
Loan Amounts
Tribal installment loans typically range from $500 to $2,500 for first-time borrowers. Returning customers with good repayment history may qualify for higher amounts, sometimes up to $5,000 or more, depending on the lender and state regulations.
Repayment Terms
Unlike payday loans that require full repayment on your next payday, tribal installment loans offer extended repayment periods, typically ranging from a few months to several years. This allows for smaller, more manageable payments over time.
Costs and Fees
Tribal loans typically have higher interest rates than traditional bank loans, with APRs ranging from 200% to 700% or higher. The exact rate depends on factors such as loan amount, term length, your credit profile, and the specific tribal lender's policies.
Funding Speed
If approved, funds are typically deposited directly into your bank account by the next business day. Some lenders offer same-day funding for applications approved early in the day, subject to your bank's policies on electronic transfers.
Common Questions
Answers to frequently asked questions about the loan process:
The online application typically takes just 5-10 minutes to complete. Once submitted, you'll usually receive a decision within minutes. If approved, funds can be deposited in your account as soon as the next business day.
Many tribal lenders consider factors beyond just credit scores. While having good credit can help you secure better terms, tribal lenders often work with borrowers who have less-than-perfect credit histories. They typically focus more on your current income and ability to repay.
Some lenders may consider applications from borrowers with past bankruptcies, especially if the bankruptcy has been discharged. However, policies vary by lender, and a recent or ongoing bankruptcy may affect your eligibility.
Repayment methods vary by lender, but most tribal installment loans are repaid through automatic withdrawals from the same bank account where you received the funds. Payments are typically scheduled to align with your pay dates. Many lenders also offer online payment options and customer portals to manage your loan.
