The "Super Community Bank"

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Bank of Nevada is structured as a 'super community bank' providing a broader product array and larger credit capacity than a traditional community bank and a staff of experienced relationship managers who serve as a single point of contact for Bank clients. Through a dedicated single relationship manager, clients have direct access to senior level banking professionals and concierge-style personal service for business and personal banking needs.

At Bank of Nevada, we have the capacity to meet the lending needs of virtually any size business. We also assist businesses with a full array of cash management services including Nevada's only locally-based lock box service, a central cash vault, and electronic banking, as well as merchant services and a host of other banking products. For added time-saving convenience, business clients also benefit from our courier service, as well as our new remote deposit service, 'e-Deposit'. Bank of Nevada's commitment to personal service began when the Bank was founded in 1994. Just 13 years later, Bank of Nevada now has assets of approximately $3 billion.
