Exodus Lending is the only nonprofit dedicated solely to helping Minnesotans get out of predatory lending debt.

What We Do

We get Minnesotans out of predatory loan debt and back on track financially by enrolling and supporting them in a 0% interest refinance program, lending up to $1,500 to qualified participants.

Why We Do It

We envision a world where all people are free from the cycle of debt caused by predatory lenders. We seek lasting change for the individuals and families, for financial institutions, and for our society.
