Nebraska’s banking industry remains a source of strength and stability. They maintain strong capital levels and record levels of loan loss reserves, allowing them to successfully absorb economic shocks. Nebraska bankers take pride in their strong relationships with customers and are invested in the economic growth and prosperity of the state.
 
The recent bank closures in California and New York appear to be outliers and not reflective of the norm for banks across America and Nebraska. The closed banks had significant exposure to volatile sectors including cryptocurrency. Nebraska banks have limited exposure to these types of industries.
 
The recent closures are the first bank closures in nearly three years, which is a testament to the resiliency of banks and their ability to support the economy and the communities they serve.
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures funds in bank deposit accounts up to $250,000. In the 88-year history of the FDIC, no one has ever lost a penny of an insured deposit. Customers are encouraged to contact their Nebraska bank with any questions.

Anyone can be a photo​grapher - you don't have to have a fancy camera or tons of experience with taking photos. If you see something worth capturing - do it! Then send it in for consideration in the 2024 NBA Scenes of Nebraska Calendar.

We are currently accepting photo submissions until March 1, 2023.

The beauty of our Scenes of Nebraska Calendar is that the photos come from our bankers and their families. We'd like to showcase all that Nebraska has to offer - from rolling hills and monuments to country areas and cityscapes.

Have a favorite spot in town? Or perhaps you've made a scenic trip to a state park? Both cities/towns and the surrounding countryside make Nebraska what it is. What does living in Nebraska mean to you? We invite you to show us through your photos.

If you have questions about the calendars or the photo submission process, contact Laurie Johnson at the NBA at laurie.johnson@nebankers.org or 402-474-1555.
