№ 01

What we could verify

Big Eye Lending's own site describes it as connecting consumers with lending partners ('not a direct lender'), while its BBB profile lists it as a lender — these conflict. A claimed 'Tunica-Biloxi Tribe, 2020' attribution on affiliate sites is not supported by primary sources (the Tunica-Biloxi tribe's known lender is Mobiloans), and the BBB lists a Finley, CA address. We don't assert a tribe we can't verify.

What to verify before borrowing

Identify exactly who is lending to you, get the written disclosure with the APR, and confirm any tribal charter and your state before agreeing.
