"This is a bank that sees you, hears you, and wants you to prosper. They make you feel like an individual, not another account number. During the process of applying for PPP funds, my banker John Whitehead made himself available at all hours, even responding to my questions at midnight. The process was convoluted, required a lot of revisions, but he never faltered and was able to guide us to the much-needed funds for our company to keep people employed."

"During the PPP, our banker was essentially at our side, keeping us informed about all the steps and requirements of the application process and helping us in every way. She was invaluable and we could not have completed the process without her. If our PPP loan application had not been approved, our ability to conduct business would have been severely impacted, and the ongoing operation of our Artown organization would be uncertain. We’re very thankful to have NSB on our side."

"Everyone I dealt with at NSB has been fantastic! I have a lot of business contacts, and they all say the same thing – they were bumped off by a big bank. I told them to go get it taken care of with NSB. Here’s what the PPP loan meant to me: My companies have a chance to make it through these crazy times, and my workers can feed their families. It’s been stellar – I can’t say enough."

"Nevada State Bank cares about people. I was not even a client, and my NEW banker, Jeanette Perez, got it done. As a business guy, I really appreciated her reaching out and helping with my PPP loan, making calls into the evening. I was able to give full payroll to my employees without worrying. We’re back open—the plant is making ice cream, and we are serving it up at Meadows Mall and Palms Plaza, with more to come.”

"NSB Business Banker Cesar Quintanilla contacted us to inform us of the PPP Loan Program the first week it opened; he wanted to know if we were interested in applying. There were hiccups, but Cesar worked with us through the weekend, processing our application three times Sunday night until finally, he emailed us late that night that the SBA accepted our application. The PPP loan gave us time to review our options and come up with a plan. We were able to keep our entire team employed, keep the business running, and most importantly, we have been able to pay it forward to a few of our clients who were struggling."

Advanced Prosthetics & Orthotics

"When COVID 19 hit, everyone was so scared. Overnight, people stopped going to their doctor’s office. When patient flow is low, minimal services are provided, resulting in reduced billing which equates to reduced revenue. But it was critical that APO never shut down. There is nowhere else for some patients to go for their orthotic and prosthetic services. The PPP loan was not only critical to my business, but the bank was actually ensuring an essential medical service--allowing us to still serve our patients.”

"When COVID19 hit our economy, and PPP was announced, our banker John Whitehead was very proactive and, together with our CFO, worked long days to make sure that we got the PPP documents needed for approval. We've been fortunate to be able to keep all 160 employees on board  so that everyone can provide for their families. Some drivers with high-risk family members have chosen to stay on the road for the past two months, isolating themselves from their families while doing an important service to this country."

"My private banker, Sherilyn, was reaching out to me about the PPP loan opportunity for my business before the bank with my business accounts did. In fact, after I reached out to them via email, as directed online, I never heard back. Nevada State Bank got it done. My other dentist friends started reaching out “Did you get approved?” Their banks had not responded. I told them you are just a number to them; at Nevada State Bank, you get personalized service and they take care of you."

"The care and guidance we received from Nevada State Bank’s SBA department, Jeremy particularly, was seamless. They prepared us to have our application complete and ready the moment when the program was to be launched. We were made to feel that our business was a priority--in stark contrast to fellow small business owners' stories that have been relayed to us."
