Personal Loans in Nebraska
A free matching service that connects Nebraska residents with third-party lenders. SET Financial is not a lender.
Get StartedSET Financial is a lead-connection service for new loan requests, not the lender. Not everyone who applies will be matched or approved.
Connecting Nebraska Residents with Lenders
SET Financial is a loan matching service, not a lender. We connect Nebraska residents with a network of third-party lenders who review each request and make all credit decisions. People with bad, thin, or limited credit are welcome to apply, though approval, rates, and terms are set entirely by the lender.
An installment loan gives you a set amount of money that you repay in fixed, scheduled payments over time, so you know the payment and payoff date up front. Nebraskans commonly use installment and personal loans for car repairs, medical or dental bills, home fixes, moving costs, debt consolidation, or bridging an unexpected gap between paychecks.

Who the Network Works With in Nebraska
Bad credit
A past-due history does not automatically disqualify you. Lenders in our network consider more than a single score, though every credit decision, rate, and term is theirs to set.
Thin or no credit
If you have little or no credit history, you can still submit a request. Some lenders weigh income and banking activity, but approval is never guaranteed.
Self-employed or 1099 income
Freelancers, gig workers, and contractors can apply. Be ready to document income, such as bank statements or tax records, if a lender asks for verification.
Fixed income
Borrowers on Social Security, disability, retirement, or other steady fixed income may be matched with lenders who accept those sources. The lender sets all terms.
Nebraska Rates and Your Protections
Consumer lending in Nebraska is overseen by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance, which licenses lenders under the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act (which merged the state's Installment Loan Act and Installment Sales Act). Nebraska voters also approved Initiative 428 in 2020, capping payday (delayed deposit) loans at a 36 percent annual rate. SET Financial does not lend and does not set rates. Your actual APR, fees, and terms are disclosed by the lender you are matched with and vary by lender, loan type, amount, and your qualifications.
Before you sign, confirm the lender is licensed with the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance and review the APR, fees, and total repayment amount stated in your loan agreement.
Regulator: Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance.

Common questions
Quick answers. For more, see our full FAQ page.
Is SET Financial a lender in Nebraska?
No. SET Financial is a loan matching service, not a lender. We connect Nebraska residents with third-party lenders who make all credit decisions and set all rates and terms. We do not lend money and are not licensed as a lender in Nebraska.
Who regulates consumer loans in Nebraska?
The Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance oversees consumer lending and licenses lenders under the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act. You can confirm a lender's license with that agency before you sign.
What is Nebraska's rate cap?
Nebraska voters approved a 36 percent annual rate cap on payday (delayed deposit) loans through Initiative 428 in 2020. Rates on other loan types are governed by the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act and are set by each licensed lender, so your APR will be disclosed in your agreement.
Can I get matched with a loan if I have bad credit?
Possibly. Some lenders in our network work with borrowers who have bad, thin, or limited credit. However, approval is never guaranteed, and the lender alone decides whether to approve you and on what terms.
How do I verify my loan terms?
Read your loan agreement in full before signing. Confirm the lender is licensed with the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance, and check the APR, all fees, the payment schedule, and the total amount you will repay.
