The online route in Flint
A parallel market lends entirely online — application, decision and funding on a website, no storefront. Lenders licensed in Michigan follow the state schedule anywhere in the state, but bank-partner and tribal loans are structured outside state rate limits, and regulators dispute that model.
From the online lenders directory — terms each lender publishes about itself, checked September 2026. Directory only: we are not affiliated and make no availability promises — verify with the lender and the Michigan regulator.
