Now Open – New Cornhusker Bank Center!
The new Cornhusker Bank Center at 8310 O St. is now open! This center is the bank’s seventh full service facility, and houses the bank’s corporate offices. Mr. Dittman noted, “Cornhusker Bank is excited to be investing in growing and expanding our facilities to meet the needs of our customer’s and the growth of our community.”
The new building houses a complete suite of services, including retail banking, commercial lending, small business services, private banking, wealth management and insurance, as well as corporate offices, and operations and information technology departments. A community room for use by bank associates and community groups is an important feature of the new center. Synergies created by bringing together different departments of the bank will facilitate an enhanced experience for customers and associates. President/CEO, Barry Lockard noted the location at 11th and Cornhusker will remain open and be a full service, fully staffed location for the continued convenience of customers.
