Our Story

 

Established in 1964 in Omaha, Nebraska, our founder, Clarence "Mickey" Landen, Jr., laid the foundation for a financial institution guided by core values:

Customized, personal service

Financial strength & stability

Holistic, full-circle approach

Commitment to community

Upholding Values

Upholding Mickey's values, we've embedded his principles into our identity. Since inception, we have remained committed to being privately held and family-owned and operated, spanning three generations of the Landen family.

Rooted in community engagement and customer-centricity, we have carried these standards alongside our growth. Our mission is to empower individuals, families, and businesses to envision, safeguard, and flourish with us as their trusted financial ally. Community stewardship is central to our role as a community bank. It's the heart of the business that Clarence "Mickey" Landen, Jr. and the Landen family began in 1964, and it's been our touchstone ever since.

Today, Mickey's sons Jim and C.L., along with third-generation James Landen, Jr., and Jim Huerter, breathe life into this belief through our day-to-day operations. Although we originated in Omaha, NE, our footprint extends across local communities and into the Iowa and Texas markets.

Expanding Horizons

After decades of serving Iowans, our deep understanding of their needs led us to expand our Iowa presence from Council Bluffs to Des Moines. In March 2020, we opened our branch doors in Des Moines, solidifying our commitment to the area. Further growth followed, with the inauguration of a Deposit and Loan Production Office in December 2023. Located in Iowa's vibrant and growing communities, our locations are an integral part of their neighborhoods.

In Texas, a similar commitment drove our expansion efforts, and as long-time residents of the state, we made a strategic decision to expand our footprint. James Landen, Jr. joined us in 2019 to spearhead our Texas market, launching our first Texas location in March 2020. The resilience of our team exceeded expectations, propelling us to surpass our five-year goals for the Texas market.

Our Texas team has since emerged as the bank's hub for Small Business Administration (SBA) lending, achieving SBA Preferred Lender Status and ranking as a Top 10 SBA Lender in Dallas. In early 2023, we opened a Loan Production Office in Addison, Texas, to accommodate our growing lending program. As our team expanded, so did our ability to efficiently meet and exceed our client's expectations.
