Initiative 428's 36% cap shifted the market toward installment products that weigh credit history more.
What Nebraska's Rules Mean for a Bad-Credit Applicant
Nebraska's 2020 Initiative 428 caps advances at 36% APR, $500, and 34 days.
What Actually Gets Checked
Bad-credit applicants can still qualify under the current framework, but credit history carries a bit more weight than the old fee-based structure.
| Factor | Rule |
|---|---|
| Rate cap | 36% APR |
| Underwriting basis | Credit history + income |
