This week’s episode is certainly a special one! Today, we are joined by Executive Vice Presidents of NebraskaLand Bank, Kimberly Schroll and Krista Heiss. In all our time on the podcast, we’ve never dedicated an episode to our own journey as a bank, so we are so excited to have them on to share more about our business’ history, culture, and passion for the North Platte community.

What began as a small team of five has grown into a community-centered bank with over 100 employees and nearly a billion dollars in assets. Through it all, we’ve stayed committed to fostering a supportive, vibrant culture that extends beyond our walls and into every relationship we build. In this episode, Kimberly and Krista dive into what makes NebraskaLand unique, what lies ahead for our team, and even share a few financial planning insights along the way!

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

• The early days of NebraskaLand Bank and its growth over the years
• Key moments that have helped establish NebraskaLand’s position in the market
• The culture statements that have guided NebraskaLand’s success
• The bank’s community involvement and volunteer programs
• Asking For a Friend Segment: Effective college saving strategies + graduating with no debt
