NBA Robbery Reward Program
The NBA manages a statewide robbery reward program designed to solicit information that leads to the apprehension of any person believed to be responsible for the robbery of an FDIC-insured commercial bank or savings institution located in Nebraska. All rewards to informants are paid through Crime Stoppers or the FBI. No rewards shall be paid directly from the NBA to an informant.

Thumbprint Signature Program
The NBA offers the Thumbprint Signature Program to provide a simple, effective, and inexpensive method for preventing and deterring check fraud. Individuals wanting to cash a check are asked to place an impression of their thumbprint on the face of the check using a small inkless touch pad that leaves no stain or residue on users or clothing.

Thumbprint Signature products include:
  • Touch Pads – The pads have a shelf life of 18 months or a minimum of 500 impressions. Be sure to order enough for all tellers.
  • Decals – Post decals at all entrances to let people know you are participating in the program and to warn potential criminals that their crimes will not go undetected.
  • Window Displays – Post these tent-style display signs at your teller windows as an additional reminder that you participate in the program.
  • Statement Stuffers - Brochures that explain the mechanics of the program, great for sending as a public service announcement or giving to those who have questions about the program.

Concealed Handgun Signs
Although Nebraska residents are authorized to lawfully carry a concealed handgun in certain public places, state law prohibits concealed handguns in specified public facilities, including financial institutions.  The NBA offers cling signs (pictured at left) to remind your customers of the law. Use of these signs is strictly voluntary.
