About Us | Arrowhead Advance - Trusted Tribal Lender Since 2017

Our Story

Who We Are

Arrowhead Advance is an online installment loan provider owned and operated by the Wakpamni Lake Community Corporation (WLCC), a tribal corporation that is wholly owned by the Oglala Sioux Tribe — a federally recognized sovereign Indian nation.

Our operations are based on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, one of the largest reservations in the United States. As a tribal enterprise, we operate under the sovereignty of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.

Since launching in 2017, Arrowhead Advance has been committed to providing accessible financial solutions to Americans who need emergency cash but may face challenges obtaining loans from traditional banks.

Our Mission

Why We Exist

We believe that everyone deserves access to emergency funds when they need them most — regardless of their credit history.

Traditional banks often turn away people with less-than-perfect credit, leaving them with few options when unexpected expenses arise. Arrowhead Advance was created to fill this gap.

Our mission is to provide:

Fast, accessible lending to underserved Americans
Transparent terms with no hidden fees
Flexible repayment options that fit your budget
Respectful, professional customer service
Economic opportunity for our tribal community

Tribal Heritage

The Oglala Sioux Tribe

The Oglala Sioux Tribe (Oglala Lakota Oyate) is one of the seven sub-tribes of the Lakota people and one of the largest tribes in North America. The tribe is headquartered in Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

The Oglala Sioux are a federally recognized sovereign nation with the right to self-governance. Tribal enterprises like Arrowhead Advance provide economic opportunities and employment for tribal members while offering valuable services to customers across America.

As a tribal lending entity, Arrowhead Advance operates under tribal law and the inherent sovereignty of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Transparency

We believe you have the right to know exactly what you're paying. All rates, fees, and terms are disclosed upfront — no hidden surprises.

Accessibility

We serve customers that traditional banks often overlook. Bad credit, no credit — we look at your overall ability to repay, not just your credit score.

Integrity

We do what we say we'll do. When we promise fast funding and transparent terms, we deliver. Our 4.4-star rating reflects our commitment.

Respect

We treat every customer with dignity and respect. Our USA-based support team is here to help, not judge. We're on your side.

Security

Your personal information is protected with the same 256-bit SSL encryption used by major banks. We never sell your data to third parties.

Responsibility

We encourage responsible borrowing. Our loans are for short-term needs, and we provide resources to help you make informed decisions.
