Founded in 1968, West Gate Bank remains a family-owned Nebraska institution. With ten branches across Lincoln and Omaha, West Gate Bank proves that personal service and local investment remain powerful business drivers.
Invested in the Community
What truly defines the “West Gate Bank Difference” is the institution’s commitment to its local economy. West Gate Bank reinvests customer deposits directly into Nebraska. These funds power local commercial ventures, fund first-time home purchases, and fuel the small businesses populating the streets of Lincoln and Omaha.
Represented on over 100 local non-profit boards, charities and other philanthropic activities, the commitment to leadership and giving back to the community has earned West Gate Bank a number of awards, including “Outstanding Local Business” at the Association of Fundraising Professionals National Philanthropy Day in 2024.
A Culture Guided by Excellence
Behind the bank’s client-focused success is a strong internal culture. Built around a nine-point employee-crafted “Code of Excellence”, West Gate Bank’s 250+ employees emphasize integrity, direct problem-solving, and continuous community involvement.
By pairing modern financial products with a deep obligation to its surrounding communities, West Gate Bank proves that focusing on neighbors rather than numbers is a winning formula for long-term economic growth.
High-Tech Capabilities, Hometown Values
As a full-service institution, West Gate Bank delivers the comprehensive financial tools expected of a major regional entity, from high-performance deposit products and mobile app access to tailored commercial loans and treasury management solutions. Yet, it delivers these services with a distinctly human touch.
Customers calling the bank connect directly with a knowledgeable, local staff member rather than navigating complex automated phone loops. For home buyers, West Gate Bank retains the servicing on its originated mortgages. Homeowners avoid the headache of their loans being sold off to third-party national servicers, ensuring an ongoing relationship with a community bank that understands the Nebraska housing market.
Introducing New Rewards Checking Accounts
West Gate Bank is excited to introduce its new lineup of personal Rewards Checking Accounts. Designed to help customers get more from their everyday banking, these new accounts offer rewarding benefits based on how customers already manage their finances.
