Our mission

White Pine Lending exists to make short-term borrowing clearer. Too many people sign loan agreements without understanding the APR, the payment schedule or the total cost. We built WhitePineLendingUSA.com so that every borrower can request $200 to $5,000 online and see exactly what a loan will cost before committing.

What we do

  • Offer one secure, online request for installment loans from $200 to $5,000
  • Pass your request to lenders that may be able to help, at no cost to you
  • Publish plain-English guides, calculators and cost examples
  • Promote responsible borrowing and lower-cost alternatives where they exist

Who we are not

WhitePineLendingUSA.com is independently owned. We are not Sokaogon Finance, Inc., which does business as “White Pine Lending”, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Sokaogon Chippewa Community. We explain this clearly because borrowers deserve to know exactly who they are dealing with.
