The mission of Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance (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 saving for retirement. Saving and investing money wisely allows for future financial freedom.
A lack of financial knowledge can derail you from your financial goals due to overspending, unsustainable debt, poor credit, bankruptcy, or foreclosure.
NDBF developed the "Make Cents Make Sense" initiative to provide trusted, easy-to-find information to help you with your financial journey and guard against financial fraud. On this site, you will find many useful resources, including insights on how to check the license of a financial services professional or file a complaint.

When it comes to financial wellness, knowledge is power. It's never too early – or too late – to improve your relationship with money and enhance your financial future.
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.
