Why Installment Loans?

Installment loans are a great alternative to payday loans because they allow you to pay a portion due each month instead of paying the entire balance on your next payday.

Northern Star Lending complies with federal laws and regulations as well as the laws of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. This gives borrowers who may have a hard time finding loans through traditional channels the opportunity to qualify for an unsecured loan with us.

Get Started

Northern Star Lending has certain requirements. You must be at least 18 years of age, a US Citizen, and have an open checking account that currently receives income by direct deposits.

When you apply for an installment loan from Northern Star Lending, you may qualify up to $1,500.00 as a first-time borrower. Returning customers with a good payment history may qualify for larger amounts of up to $5,000 with lower rates.
