Apply online in a few minutes

You do not have to come in to the West Broadway store. Start your request online at any hour, from your phone or computer.

  1. Fill in the short form. It takes a few minutes and asks about the amount you need, your income and your bank account.
  2. See the terms first. If you get an offer, the amount, the fee, the APR and the due date are shown before you agree. There is no obligation.
  3. Get your money. If you accept, the lender explains how and when the funds are paid, often by direct deposit.

Apply Online

Approval is not guaranteed. The online form is run by a third-party lending network, not by our stores. Its lenders may offer other loan types, such as installment loans, with amounts, costs and terms that differ from our in-store payday loans and depend on your state and the lender.

Payday Express services on West Broadway, Council Bluffs

You will find our store on West Broadway in Council Bluffs, a few minutes from the Missouri River bridges into Omaha. It serves Council Bluffs, Carter Lake and the Iowa side of the Omaha metro. Most of what we do can be started online, and the store is there when you would rather talk to someone in person.

Payday loans and cash advances. Need a small loan until payday? Iowa caps the fee at $15 on the first $100 and $10 on each additional $100 of your check, and your checks can total no more than $500. Every fee and the APR are given to you in writing before you sign, and Iowa law does not allow one payday loan to be paid off with another.

Check cashing. Cash payroll, government and insurance checks and tax refund checks with a valid photo ID. You do not need a bank account, and the check cashing fee is posted at the counter before you agree.

Money transfers, money orders and bill pay. Send money across the country or abroad with MoneyGram or Western Union, buy money orders and prepaid debit cards, and pay utility, car and credit card bills in one stop.

How it works: Iowa sets the fee on the amount of your check, and the fee is included in that check. For example, you write a $300 check due on your payday in two weeks: the fee is at most $35, so you receive $265 and repay $300. Over 14 days that works out to an APR of about 344%. Your checks can total no more than $500, so the most you can receive at one time is $445. Your exact fee, APR and deposit date are shown in writing before you sign.
