Who Clear Air Lending is

Clear Air Lending is operated by Robinson Economic Services, a corporate subdivision of the Robinson Economic Development Corporation, the economic-development arm of the Robinson Rancheria of Pomo Indians in California. It operates under tribal law and applicable federal regulations. (It is unrelated to the separate, now-legacy Clear Creek Lending.)

№ 02

Rates, fees & real cost

Clear Air lends $300 to $2,000 in fixed installments set in your loan agreement, and lets you repay any time without a prepayment penalty. It discloses the APR in the agreement rather than publishing it, so treat the rate as high triple-digit, typical of the sector, and read the disclosure first.

№ 03

Eligibility & where it lends

Approval is income-based with no hard FICO minimum, and funding lands the next business day if you're approved before 4pm PST. Clear Air isn't available in every location, at the tribe's discretion.
