**Sokaogon Finance dba White Pine Lending is a sovereign enterprise, an economic development arm and instrumentality of, and wholly-owned and controlled by the Sokaogon Chippewa Community of Mole Lake, a federally-recognized sovereign Indian Tribe (the “Tribe”). This means that white Pine's loan products are provided by a sovereign government and the proceeds of our business fund governmental services for Tribal citizens. This also means that Sokaogon Finance is not subject to State suit or service of process. Rather, Sokaogon Finance is regulated by the Tribe. It is the express intention of the Sokaogon Chippewa Community to fully preserve, and not waive, either in whole or in part, exclusive jurisdiction, sovereign immunity, and any other rights, titles, privileges, and immunities to which the Tribe is entitled. If you do business with Sokaogon Finance, your potential forums for dispute resolution will be limited to those available under Tribal law and your loan agreement. As more specifically set forth in the white Pine loan agreement, these forums include an informal but affordable and efficient Tribal dispute resolution, or individual arbitration before a neutral arbitrator. You may opt out of arbitration by following the instructions in your loan agreement. If you do not opt out of arbitration pursuant to the loan agreement, you agree that you have chosen to have any dispute arising out of or relating to the loan agreement or your relationship with the Sokaogon Chippewa Community resolved by binding arbitration. If you are not comfortable doing business with a sovereign entity that is immune from a lawsuit in State court, you should discontinue use of this website. Applications processed and approved before 5:30 p.m. ET are typically funded the next business day. In some cases, we may not be able to verify your application information and may ask you to provide certain documents. Maximum loan amount for initial loan is $950.00. Refer to Loan Cost & Terms for additional details. Complete disclosures of APR, fees and payment terms are provided within the Loan Agreement.
