OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE NEBRASKA BANKERS ASSOCIATION

2026 Pub. 20 Issue 4

President’s Message: Collective Support Leads to a Stronger Industry

Supported by banks of all sizes in communities across Nebraska, the Nebraska Bankers Association (NBA) proudly serves as the state’s leading advocate for the banking industry. As the 2026-2027 NBA fiscal year began, NBA membership was reflected across Nebraska institutions, ranging from nearly $17 million in deposits at the smallest member bank to over $17 billion at the largest. Together, NBA member banks operate 1,048 branches in 338 Nebraska communities and employ more than 15,500 hardworking Nebraskans. The following chart highlights NBA membership by institution size and overall employment.

The association also benefits from the strong engagement of its Associate Members, Preferred Vendors and NBA Business Partners. The breadth and strength of the NBA result from members engaging with companies in these groups. More than 100 Associate Members strengthen the NBA through the Service Provider, Financial Affiliate and Emeritus categories. This diverse group includes construction firms, insurance companies, accounting and law firms, compliance companies, technology vendors, credit card processors, retired bankers and other valued partners. They regularly contribute as exhibitors, speakers and content providers, enriching NBA programs and resources. Learn more about associate membership on our website at nebankers.org/membership.

The other groups of NBA supporters are Preferred Vendors and NBA Business Partners designated by the Nebraska Bankers Insurance Services Company (NBISCO) Board of Directors. As the NBA’s for-profit subsidiary, NBISCO selects businesses and organizations that offer distinctive products and services to Nebraska banks. Each NBA Preferred Vendor and Business Partner completes a thorough due diligence and review process, provides positive references from NBA member banks and regional or national banking organizations, and makes at least one formal presentation to the NBISCO Board. These firms further advance the NBA’s work through advertising, sponsorships and royalties.

To help NBA member institutions confidently navigate advances in technology, evolving regulations and strategic opportunities, the NBISCO Board recently approved several new Preferred Vendors and a new NBA Business Partner. The following brief overview introduces each organization and the value it can bring to your institution. We encourage you to connect with these new vendors or partners and explore how their capabilities can support your goals.
