Here is what you can do at our Grand Island store, from pawn loans and gold buying to payday loans, check cashing and money services.

Pawn Loans

Leave an item you own as collateral and borrow cash against its value. You get a hold period to repay and buy the item back. If the loan is not repaid, the item is forfeited. Bring the item in during store hours so we can look it over with you.

Bring in gold jewelry or coins and sell them for cash at fair market prices. We will show you how we reached the offer so you can decide with confidence.

Cash Advance

A cash advance can help you cover an expense between paychecks. Ask our team to show you the repayment terms in writing before you accept any amount.

Payday Loans

Nebraska payday loan rules in plain English

Payday loans in Nebraska are delayed deposit services licensed by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance. Since voters approved Initiative 428 in November 2020, delayed deposit loans in Nebraska are capped at 36% APR. Any loan above that cap is void.

Before you sign, read every term and ask us to walk you through the total repayment. The same cap applies at every licensed store in the state, so you can compare terms with confidence wherever you shop. You can check licensing and consumer information directly with the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance.

What it costs and smarter alternatives

Before you agree to any loan, ask for the total cost in writing and confirm the exact due date. Borrow only what you can repay from your next paycheck, and walk away from any loan that would strain your budget.

A pawn loan works best for something you already own and can afford to repay. Think about how much you can realistically repay in two weeks, then compare the cost of each choice against that number. Before you borrow, compare these options:

  • Call your creditor and ask about a payment plan or a new due date
  • Ask a local credit union about small-dollar loans
  • Look into community assistance programs that help with bills
