Insurer Closes On Bank

Mutual of Omaha says it does not expect to make any changes in Nebraska State Bank’s management or personnel.

Midlands Financial is the third banking company Omaha Financial has acquired in the past few months.

Mutual of Omaha has been buying banks to start a network of community banks, open an Omaha-based bank on the Mutual of Omaha campus, and launch a full-service Internet bank, the company says.

Mutual of Omaha reports that its main office, at 33rd and Farnam streets, is a “destination bank” that features a Starbucks coffee shop, a deli and an Internet caf? as well as the usual banking services.
