The Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance is committed to the financial well-being of Nebraskans. The mission of NDBF is to protect and maintain the public confidence through fair, efficient, and experienced supervision of the state-regulated financial services industry. As part of that mission, NDBF assists the public in their dealings with those industries.
The financial well-being of Nebraskans is a priority of NDBF. Financial fitness is about is empowering families and individuals – whether it’s buying a car or home, paying for education, or retiring. Saving and investing money allows for future financial freedom.
Not having enough financial knowledge can derail you from your financial goals, and lead to overspending, unsustainable debt, poor credit, bankruptcy, or foreclosure.
NDBF developed the "Make Cents Make Sense" initiative to provide helpful and easy-to-find information for your financial journey and to help you protect yourself from financial fraud. Here you will also find useful resources including how to check a license, get important news from NDBF, and to file a complaint.
When it comes to financial wellness, knowledge is power. Learning about your finances can help you have a good relationship with money and can set you up for a stronger future. It is never too late to start.

To develop the Make Cents Make Sense financial wellness initiative, NDBF engaged the services of Jacht, a student-run ad agency at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Jacht’s activities included conducting market research, developing key messaging strategies, and creating website design and other creative content.
Jacht received the Paper Anvil Award of Merit from the Nebraska’s Public Relations Society of America chapter for its efforts on the Make Cents Make Sense initiative.
