Jo Lewis Joins NBC

“Starting a business can be very stressful but working with NBC for our business loan to open the practice was supportive and comforting. We knew these were people we could trust, and they’ve proven that true over all the years we’ve been banking with them. We stay with NBC for the great relationships and service.”

Owner & Veterinarian, Ehlers Animal Clinic

“It’s the people at a bank that make the difference. The folks at NBC go out of their way to help you resolve an issue, whatever is needed. They’ve been very flexible with us, even with the non-standard things we need as a nonprofit. We can always get ahold of someone if we have an issue and knowing we can count on them is really reassuring.”

Dawn Rockey

Executive Director, CASA for Lancaster County

“We’ve done our personal banking with NBC for generations – my parents banked with NBC for years, and we trust them. When COVID hit, I asked them for advice, and even though they didn’t have my business account, they did everything they could to help me. They’re like a small-town bank where people know you, but with the convenience and options of a bigger bank.”
