Services at 514 North 16th Street

These are the services our 16th Street team offers, from same-day check cashing to short-term loans and money transfers.

Payday Loans

Nebraska payday loans carry a 36% APR cap under Initiative 428. Approval is not guaranteed, and each request is reviewed carefully before any funds are offered.

Cash Advance

Use a cash advance to cover a brief gap before your next paycheck. Ask our team how repayment works and what the due date will be before you agree to the advance.

Check Cashing

Downtown, we handle payroll, personal, government, insurance, and tax refund checks. We do not hold your check for days, and when your bank is closed we can still cash it for you.

Paycheck Advance

A paycheck advance gives you access to part of your earnings early. Bring your most recent pay stub so the team can review your details and explain how the advance would be repaid.

Wire Transfers, Money Orders & Bill Pay

Wire transfers, money orders, and bill payments are all handled at our counter. Ask about the cost of each service before you complete it, and keep the receipt.

Why downtown Omaha customers choose Payday Express

Our 16th Street store is built for busy schedules. Downtown workers can stop in on a lunch break, and our weekday hours run later than many banks, so an evening visit is possible too.

We know a short break can disappear quickly. That is why our team keeps the paperwork focused and gives you a clear picture of what happens at each step, from the first question to the moment you walk out with your cash or your check.

  • Monday to Friday until 7 PM, and Saturday until 4 PM
  • Check cashing when your bank has already closed for the day
  • Your checks are not held for a set number of days
  • Staff who treat every customer with respect and a smile
  • Your information is not shared without your knowledge and consent

Nebraska payday loan rules in plain English

Nebraska regulates payday loans as delayed deposit services, and the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance is the licensing agency. Learn more directly from the regulator at ndbf.nebraska.gov.

Initiative 428 passed in November 2020, and it set a 36% APR cap on delayed deposit loans in Nebraska. Loans charged above that cap are void, so check the rate on any offer before you accept it.

Because the loan is repaid on a set date, read the repayment schedule closely. If a term is unclear, ask our team to explain it before you sign.

Serving downtown Omaha and nearby neighborhoods

Our 16th Street store serves Downtown Omaha, North Downtown, which locals call NoDo, and the Old Market. If you live or work in one of these neighborhoods, you can plan a visit around your day, whether that means a quick stop before a meeting or a longer conversation after work.

People searching for a cash advance near the Old Market usually want a clear answer quickly. Start a short request online to see your options, then stop in to finish any paperwork with our team.

Residents of North Downtown can use the same counter for check cashing, money orders, and bill pay, so you can take care of several errands in one stop. Many downtown customers pick a time that fits between meetings, and our team keeps each visit organized so you can get back to work. If you are not sure which service you need, describe your situation at the counter and our staff will suggest the simplest option that fits.

What it costs and smarter alternatives

Before you borrow, request the full repayment amount and the due date. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay from your next paycheck, and mark the due date on your calendar as soon as you sign.

It also helps to think ahead about what happens if your pay arrives later than expected. Ask our staff how the timing works so you are not caught off guard, and keep a copy of your agreement somewhere easy to find.

  • Ask your current creditor whether a payment plan is available
  • Compare offers from a local credit union that offers small-dollar loans
  • Contact community organizations for help with emergency needs
