About Us

First State Bank in Loomis, Nebraska.

Our goal is to meet the financial needs of our community, its citizens, and businesses. Our commitment is to the success of our customers.

In 1886 First State Bank opened its doors for business. It started operating in an office located in a hardware store with capital totaling $15,000. In 1938, assets at the First State Bank were the largest of any town in Nebraska with a population of 1,000 or less.

In 1952, the bank was purchased by the Lauritzen family of Omaha, leading to more than 50 years of consistent, dependable ownership.  This beneficial relationship still exists today.

In 2006, First State Bank added a branch location by purchasing the Harlan County Bank in Alma.  This second location compliments the banking services currently being offered to all First State Bank customers.
