What Nebraska Bank of Commerce does

Nebraska Bank of Commerce (NBC Bank) is a privately held, state-chartered community bank headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, operating two branches (Main Bank at 6000 Village Drive and Downtown Branch at 250 N 14th Street) under holding company NBC Bancshares, LLC. Originally chartered in 2007 as Community Bank of Lincoln and rebranded in 2010, the bank serves retail consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, agricultural operators, nonprofits, and home buyers across the Lincoln and Omaha markets through a relationship-based community banking model.

The bank's core technology is a Fiserv core banking system extended with online and mobile banking platforms, SSL-secured (128-bit) authentication, mobile deposit, remote deposit capture for business customers, ACH origination, and a 24/7 cash management platform. Products span personal banking (checking, savings, money market, CDs, IRAs, HSAs), business banking (checking, SBA preferred-lender loans, commercial real estate, construction, agricultural, and working capital loans), and mortgage lending (purchase, refinance, FHA, VA, construction, bridge, and lot loans). Distribution combines physical branches with drive-thru and a free digital channel suite including Quicken/QuickBooks export, POPmoney P2P, and e-statements.

Revenue is generated primarily through net interest spread on the lending portfolio (commercial real estate, business, SBA, agricultural, consumer, mortgage, home equity, and credit card loans) supplemented by transaction-based fee income (ACH origination at $0.12/item, wire fees $10-$50, remote deposit at $100 setup plus $75/month plus $0.07/item, cashier's checks, NSF fees, and online cash management at $15/month). Customer acquisition is driven by community involvement, referral networks, social media (Facebook, Twitter), and an email newsletter rather than paid acquisition. The bank reports assets above $144 million with approximately 40 employees, though revenue is not publicly disclosed.
