Important Disclosures

Big Star Credit is a tribal lender of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe operating within the boundaries of the Rosebud Indian Reservation of South Dakota, a sovereign nation located within the United States of America. Loans from Big Star Credit are governed by the laws of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, not the laws of your resident state. The laws of your resident state may have interest rate limits and other consumer protection provisions that are more favorable. If you wish to have your resident state laws apply, you should consider taking a loan from a licensed lender in your state. This is an expensive form of credit. Alternative forms of credit, such as a credit card cash advance, personal loan, home equity line of credit, existing savings or borrowing from a friend or relative, may be less expensive and more suitable for your financial needs. Before borrowing, please consider whether you will be able to repay any amount you borrow along with the interest charges disclosed to you in your loan agreement. Customers with continued credit difficulties should seek credit counseling. Late fees and non-sufficient funds/returned item fees may apply as described in your Loan Agreement. We will never charge you any "hidden fees" that are not fully disclosed in the Loan Agreement or the Loan Cost & Terms. If you don't make a payment on time we will attempt to contact you via one or more authorized methods. We adhere to the principles of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). Because we may report your payment history to one or more credit bureaus, late or non-payment of your loan may negatively impact your credit rating. If you fail to repay your loan in accordance with its terms, we may place your loan with or sell your loan to a third-party collection agency or other company that acquires and/or collects delinquent consumer debt. We currently prohibit lending in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. This may be subject to change. (1) In most cases, applications that are received and can be verified prior to 5 p.m. Central Time (Monday through Friday) will be funded the next business banking day (excluding weekends and bank holidays). Applications received after 5 p.m. Central Time (Monday through Friday) may require an additional business banking day to fund. In some cases, we may not be able to verify your application information and may ask you to provide certain, additional documents.

RATES

As a general rule, you should request the lowest amount that you need immediately and make every attempt to pay back your loan as quickly as possible. Both the speed at which online loans are processed and the chance that lenders take by approving "risky" borrowers tend to add up to higher than average finance fees charged. 

Annual Percentage Rate 

The annual percentage rate or APR is a calculation of the fees of a loan in relation to the amount of money being borrowed. It is intended to allow consumers to more easily compare the costs of borrowing when comparing different loan types, amounts, and terms. The number reflects the cost of obtaining a loan on a yearly or annual basis. 

The annual percentage rate or APR varies depending on the terms of your loan as well as your payment history. It is important to note that these loans are not intended to be used as a long-term financial solution or to supplement limited income. These loans can offer emergency relief if you are short on money and need funds to cover an urgent expense until you receive your next paycheck.  

APR will always be disclosed before the loan is finalized so that customers can make an informed decision.

KEEP IN MIND

 Paying back quickly gives you the best rate. Any loan can be costly if you let the balance roll over without paying it off as soon as possible. Request a dollar loan amount that you will be able to pay back quickly.

Helpful Tips

How to Improve Your Credit Score:







Check your credit history: It's important to know your credit history because it gives you an indication of how attractive you are as a potential borrower. Get your credit report and check that it doesn't contain any errors. Mistakes could be negatively affecting your rating, and fixing them is a step towards credit improvement.
Pay down your credit cards: While it's true that servicing student loans, mortgages and other debt can improve your credit score, the highest improvement comes from repaying opened-end loans like credit cards or lines of credit.
Get payment reminders: Do you find that you forget to pay bills by their due dates? Opt for payment reminders in order to avoid this in the future. It may seem trivial, but late payments can have a huge effect on your credit score. Another way to combat forgetfulness is to set up automatic payments, which will ensure that your payments are consistently made on time.
Have a few credit options: It may seem counter intuitive, but using a few different types of credit - a mix of revolving credit and installment loans can actually increase your credit score, as long as they are managed responsibly.
