Nevada State Bank History
Nevada State Bank first opened its doors for business on December 9, 1959, making it the oldest state-chartered community bank in Nevada. The bank was organized by a group of 12 business owners, with Charles Lee Horsey Jr. serving as President. The organizing group sold 24,000 shares of stock to local people at $31.25 per share. This gave them $600,000 to put into capital and $150,000 for surplus and reserves. The bank received its official state charter on January 5, 1960.
Nevada State Bank is a full-service bank offering a complete range of consumer, small business, real estate and corporate banking services. It operates more than 100 ATMS and 52 branches serving 20 communities across Nevada. Nevada State Bank employs more than 850 people and is the fourth largest bank in Nevada with total assets in excess of $4.1 billion.
