From the Beginning

Picture
In September 1889, a group of 47 Nebraska bankers traveled to Kansas City to attend a convention of the American Bankers Association. While there, the Nebraskans decided to form a state association to represent Nebraska’s fledgling banking industry. Four months later, the Nebraska Bankers Association became a reality with the organization’s first convention held on January 22, 1890, with a total of 232 banks represented.

Nebraska’s banking industry continues to be united under the banner of the statewide trade association that was formed on that winter day in 1890 by those forward-looking pioneer bankers.
