OUR COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

At State Nebraska Bank & Trust, we believe community investment is a priority.  That’s what makes us unique in our approach to hometown banking.

Watch Our Employees Share Why They Give Back and Invest

Without the business from our customers in Wayne and the surrounding area, we realize we could not be the successful bank we are today for more than one hundred years.  We give back to show our appreciation, but also because we believe it is the right thing to do to.  Local investment creates a healthy, strong place to work, live, raise a family and more.

Volunteering

We support all of our employees with their volunteer efforts in the community, whether during banking hours or after. Our employees have volunteered with community organizations like TeamMates, Rotary, Wayne Community Chest, WAED/Chamber of Commerce, Wayne Elementary Boosters, Kiwanis, and more.

At SNB, we give where we live. That’s why we donate to local non-profit organizations and causes like Haven House, Wayne Community Chest, Wayne State College, Wayne Community Schools, the Majestic Theatre and more. We also match our employees’ donations to Wayne Community Chest 100%, making SNB the largest local contributor to the Wayne Community Chest campaign each year. In 2023, our combined donation with employees to the Wayne Community Chest came to nearly $5,500.
