How is Bank of Las Vegas reaching out to the community?
Bank of Las Vegas, a true community bank, has a proud heritage of supporting local
charities with donations of time through employee volunteerism. These charities
provide essential support to our neighbors who are facing numerous financial and
personal challenges. Giving back to the community has always been a top priority
at Bank of Las Vegas, and over the past year it has been especially important to
our team. During 2008, Bank of Las Vegas assisted the following community-based
organizations:
- United Way of Southern Nevada
- Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
- Operation Warm Heart at Nellis Air Force Base
- Salvation Army
- Child Haven
- Court Appointed Special Advocates of Clark County
In addition to charitable endeavors, the bank has expanded its residential mortgage
products to offer Federal Housing Administration loans. This has allowed the bank
to help numerous borrowers refinance their higher interestrate home mortgages while
also providing mortgages for a number of first-time homebuyers. It has been quite
gratifying to assist so many individuals with their residential financing needs
this past year.
As a business bank, rooted deep in the community, we work hard to understand the
challenges that our customers are experiencing and work together to help them through
these difficult economic times.
