Department Overview
The Menominee Loan Department is responsible for loaning money to eligible enrolled Menominee’s. To be eligible for a loan you must be 18 years or older, an enrolled Menominee and must be in good standing with the Menominee Loan Department. If you fit the criteria, to establish credit with us your first loan you will be eligible for is $200.00 or less. If you have already established credit with us you may be eligible for a $300.00 loan. All loans for $300.00 or less, applications must be submitted to our office by 4:30 on Thursdays. All small loans will then be processed on Fridays. If you have already established credit with the Menominee Loan Department for at least 6 months after your first initial loan you may apply to our Loan Fund Committee which meets once a month. To be eligible for anything over $300.00 and not exceeding $1,000.00 you would need to have that application in by the first Monday of the month with the meeting on the following Monday. You as the borrower would need to call us Tuesday following the meeting to set up an appointment to pick up your loan. And if you haven’t been working for 6 months regular full time for one of the following: Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, Menominee Casino Bingo Hotel, Menominee Tribal Enterprise, Menominee School District, Menominee County, or College of Menominee Nation you will need a co-signer. And they would need to be working at one of the before mentioned and must be in good standing with all of our programs.
