You Belong Here.

It’s the feeling you get when you enter one of our banks. A natural, comfortable sense of belonging. Yes, it’s a bank, offering everything any other bank does. But it’s a local bank that provides these services with a warm, helpful type of personality. It’s a personal approach that is a direct reflection of our senior management.

For nearly forty years, Union Bank & Trust has been operated by a longtime Nebraska banking family—the Dunlaps. Through this family’s progressive, customer-focused management style, the institution has grown into a thriving, financially diverse organization serving Nebraskans across the state.

What Sets us Apart

Most banks offer similar services. It’s how those services are delivered and how the bank treats you as an individual that sets it apart. Here are a few examples of what makes Union Bank different:

  • Stability—We have had the same ownership for almost forty years. Half of our senior managers have been with the bank for over twenty years, and one hundred-fifty of our employees have worked here ten years or longer. This allows us to build long-term relationships with our customers and set a consistent direction for the bank.
  • Relationships—We are a relationship driven organization with the ability and desire to get to know our customers. We do not have multiple layers of decision-makers spread out over several states. This is a major advantage over large national banking chains.
  • Flexibility—Because we are not a national banking chain we can be flexible. We can create solutions for customers that do not fit a “cookie cutter” approach. Large banking chains cannot be so flexible due to their sheer size and bureaucratic makeup.
  • Local Ownership—Because we are locally owned and operated, we’re more accessible. This close proximity to customers enables us to meet the needs of the community and avoid the 1-800 number or unanswered voice mail problem so prevalent with larger financial institutions.
  • Timeliness—Our size and streamlined organizational structure enable us to react quickly to the needs of our customers. Such reaction includes providing timely answers.
  • Community Involvement—We all live and work here. We understand the role a financial institution should play in their community. Union Bank’s financial commitment to the community is substantial, and our employees give generously of their time and talent.
Community Belonging

The feeling of belonging extends well beyond the walls of our banks. It spreads out into the community that has given us so much. We are proud of the many employees who generously donate so much of their time in support of charitable, civic, and professional organizations.

Our board of directors has established an annual share of earnings for contributions back into the community in the areas of education, the arts, and community betterment. In the past five years, the bank and its holding company have contributed over five million dollars back into the community to these, and many other groups and organizations:
