They consider themselves sovereign nations. So yes, they do.

My favorite line is this:Please be aware that not all applicants will qualify for every loan product or the lowest interest rate for a particular loan product.

We can get you a loan Mr. Jones but I am sorry to say you don't qualify for the low 350% rate.... I can get it done for 485% if that will help....
I thought I had better credit than that 
I hear their ads on the radio. They say something like they're "operating within the exterior boundaries of the [...] Reservation".... what the hell does that mean?

It means that they are operating within their reservation, which they view as a sovereign nation independent of the USA, so they don't have to follow the laws of the USA.

Doesn't sound like that to me. Sounds like they are no where near the reservation, but are operating within their rules.
Pauly "Two Knuckles" ain't gonna be happy about these folks muscle'n in on his loan business, capiche?

how can "within the exterior boundaries" be the same as "nowhere near"?
get a piece of paper. draw a big square on it. label the square "exterior boundaries". put something inside it. that thing is now "within the exterior boundaries", yes?

That means that the business operation is contained within the physical property of the reservation, and is therefore part of a sovereign nation, not part of the US.
For that matter, the reason you see so many credit cars out of Wilmington, Delaware? Delaware doesn't have much in the way of laws about loan sharking. States can play those games the same as Indian reservations.
Take that, white man.

I comprende. Why not just say within the boundaries? They are being obtuse.

Actually, it's not that we don't have regulations about loan sharking. It's because our state incorporation laws and tax structure are written to favor business. There is no personal or corporate income tax in this state, even for businesses incorporated here but operating elsewhere. There are a host of other reasons, mostly having to do with corporate management and shareholder voting requirements.

The "external" comes in because it is effectively a foreign country. Even though the reservation is entirely within the USA, the borders are "external boundries".
The boundries of the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation with offices in Timber Lake S.D.
Yes, in fact I just filed my Delaware income taxes. I meant to say we have no corporate income tax or personal sales tax.
dang it .... I was hoping that there was another state that had decided to leave our income alone
