Castle Payday: What Happened

Castle Payday is now Big Picture Loans — the same Lac Vieux Desert tribal lending operation, rebranded.

Castle Payday is now Big Picture Loans

Castle Payday was part of the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians' lending program in Michigan. The lineage Red Rock Tribal Lending → Castle Payday → Big Picture Loans is well documented, and the official Big Picture site now hosts a Castle Payday landing page confirming the consolidation.
