Our Editorial Team

Every page on TribalLoans500 is written by a named author, reviewed for accuracy against federal lending law, and re-checked each quarter.

How we work

Each page is drafted by our lead writer, fact-checked and reviewed for compliance with the Truth in Lending Act, Military Lending Act and current tribal-lending case law, and its payment tables are recalculated by our data editor against lender rate sheets. Pages carry a "Last reviewed" date; anything older than 90 days is re-reviewed. Last sitewide review: November 5, 2026.

Editorial standards

  • Every payment example uses standard amortization at the stated APR and term — no rounded guesses.
  • We disclose the full APR range of our lender network on every page.
  • We say when not to borrow and list cheaper alternatives.
  • We never use the phrase "guaranteed approval" as a promise.
  • Corrections: email [email protected] and we will fix verified errors within two business days.
