1st Commerce Bank’s staff and clients celebrated the bank’s first anniversary in October 2007. With our dedication to building long-term client relationships, we are establishing a reputation as the premier community bank in North Las Vegas. Along with the staff’s community involvement, we are personifying our motto, “1st Class Service, 1st Class Commitment.”
Through the expertise and dedication of our highly skilled staff, the bank’s products and services were expanded in 2007 to better serve our clients. Simultaneously, we diversified our staff with the addition of an investment executive and mortgage loan officer.

Client satisfaction is generating new business referrals. A prime example is Madison Grace Construction Services, a new client that was referred to the bank last year. In addition to establishing a loan relationship, we were able to help with the company’s ownership transition and improve its operations by providing products and services essential to its continued success. Now that the company is poised for growth and further success, this valued client has become a terrific referral source for the bank.
In 2007, I was honored to be recognized as one of the “40 under 40” named by In Business Las Vegas magazine and also named a “Mover and Shaker” by Vegas Young Professionals. While these honors are flattering, they have, more importantly, generated essential publicity for our young bank.
Likewise, our top officers are active in more than two dozen organizations that provide professional development as well as numerous networking opportunities. Our involvement with various community organizations puts us in touch with small and mid-size businesses that belong to our niche market.
As a committed community bank, we support local schools that are developing southern Nevada’s future leaders. We also took part in food, clothing and toy drives to help our less fortunate neighbors.
1st Commerce Bank is becoming well known in the business communities of North Las Vegas and southern Nevada. We believe our 1st class service and commitment to our community helps us reach our goal of becoming a high performing bank.
