What a Green Trust Cash loan cost
Green Trust Cash lent $100 to $1,500 at APRs of roughly 400–795% until it stopped on November 30, 2020. The rates were standard for the Island Mountain family — but the ending was not: rather than being sued into closure, it shut down and forgave what borrowers still owed.
The voluntary closure — and what still applies
Green Trust Cash was operated by the Fort Belknap Indian Community's Island Mountain Development Group in Hays, Montana — the same back office behind Bright Lending, Target Cash Now and Cash Advance Now. It closed on November 30, 2020 and voluntarily forgave and discharged its outstanding loans.
That did not end the family's legal exposure. Minnesota's attorney general sued the individuals controlling Green Trust Cash, Bright Lending and Target Cash Now over 400–800% APRs; the February 2024 settlement cut all Island Mountain Minnesota loans to principal-only and barred the brands from lending to Minnesota residents.
