Services at 1921 O Street

Here is what this downtown Lincoln location offers, from payday loans and cash advances to check cashing, money services, pawn loans, and gold buying.

Payday Loans

Payday loans at this office are delayed deposit services licensed in Nebraska, and under Initiative 428, approved by voters in November 2020, they are capped at 36% APR. Approval is not guaranteed, so we review every request before a decision is made.

Cash Advance

A cash advance can help cover a short gap between paychecks. Ask our team for the full cost before you agree to anything, so the numbers are clear from the start.

Check Cashing

We cash payroll, personal, government, insurance, and tax refund checks. We do not hold your check for a set number of days, and we can cash a check when your bank is closed.

Paycheck Advance

A paycheck advance lets you borrow against your next paycheck and repay it when that check arrives. Bring your most recent check stub so we can review your situation with you.

Wire Transfers, Money Orders & Bill Pay

Wire transfers, money orders, and bill pay are available here too, so you can take care of several errands in one stop.

Pawn Loans

Express Pawn offers pawn loans at this address. You leave an item as collateral, receive cash, and repay the loan to take the item back. We also make loans with checks as collateral, and if a pawned item is not repaid, it is forfeited.

Cash for Gold

Bring in gold jewelry and coins for a cash offer based on fair market prices. We keep an appropriate hold time on pawned goods, so you can buy an item back if you change your mind.

Nebraska payday loan rules in plain English

In Nebraska, payday loans are delayed deposit services licensed by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance. Since voters approved Initiative 428 in November 2020, these loans have been capped at 36% APR, and any loan above that cap is void. If you have questions about licensing or your rights as a borrower, the regulator can help.

Serving downtown Lincoln and nearby neighborhoods

Our 1921 O Street office is a convenient stop for customers from Downtown Lincoln, Haymarket, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln area, and Near South. If you are coming from one of those neighborhoods on your lunch break or after class, you can start a request online first and finish the rest in person. Call the store before you drive over to confirm today's hours.

What it costs and smarter alternatives

Before you sign, ask our team for the total cost of the loan and the date it is due. Borrow only what you can repay on your next payday, and make sure that date fits the rest of your bills. If a short-term loan does not fit your budget, these options may help.

  • Ask a creditor about a payment plan or a new due date
  • Look into a small-dollar loan from a credit union
  • Check with local assistance programs that help with everyday expenses

Taking a few minutes to compare your options before you visit can help you avoid borrowing more than you need. Write down your next paycheck date, your bill due dates, and the amount you need, then bring that list with you so we can talk through it together.
