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.
