NebraskaLand National Bank is expanding in Central Nebraska.

Marketing Director, Danielle Nichols, said in a news release that the bank is opening a full-service branch in Kearney on July 15.  The branch will employ seven people, five of which relocated from the North Platte bank headquarters.

Nichols said in 2013, NebraskaLand Bank reached $500 million in total assets.  She said the expansion to Kearney will allow the bank to not only increase it’s asset size, but will also lead to job creation in Central Nebraska.

The bank currently has four locations in North Platte as well as a branch in Mullen.
