Gahanna Branch Guide
Near the Rt. 317 Corner in Gahanna
This branch is at 246 Granville St. in Gahanna, about half a mile west of Rt. 317. Granville Street is straightforward to follow if you use that intersection as your starting point rather than looking for a specific building number, and the branch sits along that stretch heading west from Rt. 317. Gahanna sits northeast of downtown Columbus, and Rt. 317 is one of the main roads through the area, making it a handy reference point for visitors.
Getting There
Call 614-418-0400 to reach the branch directly, or use the Get Directions button above to plan your route. Coming from Rt. 317, follow Granville Street west and the branch will be along that section of the road, making it a straightforward stop for anyone already in the Gahanna area. Granville Street runs through a mostly commercial stretch here, so the drive from Rt. 317 is short and easy to follow even if you don't know the area well.
Hours and Services
The branch is open 9:00 AM–7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 9:00 AM–5:00 PM on Saturday, and closed on Sundays. Services include cash advance (payday) loans, installment loans, bill pay and prepaid cards, plus check cashing. Call ahead to confirm hours and services before visiting, especially if you're planning to stop by later in the week. The Saturday hours match the weekday close, so a Saturday visit works well if a weekday trip doesn't fit your schedule.
Ohio Short-Term Loan Rules
Ohio Short-Term Loan Act / "Ohio Fairness in Lending Act" (House Bill 123, 132nd General Assembly): enacted and effective October 29, 2018; short-term lenders were required to come into compliance by April 27, 2019 (the commonly cited 180-day compliance deadline).
Separately from short-term lending, operating a check-cashing business in Ohio has required a license from the Superintendent of Financial Institutions since January 1, 1993 (ORC 1315.22(A)). An applicant must be financially sound with a net worth of at least $25,000, maintained throughout licensure, and must meet fitness/background requirements (ORC 1315.23(B)). Licenses run through December 31 of the year issued, must be renewed annually, must be conspicuously posted at every location, and are not transferable or assignable (ORC 1315.23(C)). A separate application, investigation fee (up to $250, or up to $1,000 for an out-of-state principal office), and annual license fee (up to $500 per location) apply (ORC 1315.22(D)). The Ohio Department of Commerce's Division of Financial Institutions administers both the check-cashing license and the Short-Term Loan Act license.

What is the maximum amount for a short-term (payday) loan in Ohio?
$1,000. A licensee cannot make a short-term loan for more than that amount under the Ohio Short-Term Loan Act (ORC 1321.39(A)).
What is the maximum interest rate on a payday loan in Ohio?
28% APR. Licensees can also charge a limited monthly maintenance fee and, for loans of $500 or more, a one-time 2% origination charge, but total fees are separately capped (ORC 1321.40).
Is there a cap on the total cost of a short-term loan in Ohio?
Yes. Total fees and charges a licensee collects on a short-term loan cannot exceed 60% of the originally contracted loan amount, not counting the check-collection charge, check-cashing fee, or interest on a refinanced loan (ORC 1321.403).
How long can a payday loan term be in Ohio?
Between 91 days and 1 year. A shorter term is allowed only if the monthly payment stays within a percentage of the borrower's verified income (ORC 1321.39(B)).
Is a cash advance in Ohio repaid in one payment or in installments?
Under Ohio's Short-Term Loan Act, a short-term (payday / cash advance) loan must generally run at least 91 days and no more than one year, so it is typically repaid over several scheduled payments rather than one lump sum. A shorter term is allowed only if each monthly payment stays within 6% of the borrower's verified gross monthly income (or 7% of net income). Source: ORC 1321.39(B).
When did Ohio's current payday lending law take effect?
House Bill 123, the Ohio Fairness in Lending Act, took effect October 29, 2018, and short-term lenders were required to be in compliance by April 27, 2019.
Can a payday lender in Ohio take my car title or other property as collateral?
No. Short-term loan licensees are prohibited from accepting a vehicle title, real property, or other collateral as security for the loan (ORC 1321.41(H)).
