Find Your Next Hire on the NBA Banking Careers Job Board

Since its launch in 2021, the NBA Banking Careers Job Board has provided a free and accessible option for NBA member banks and associate members to post their job openings. Over the past year, NBA members have used this platform to post nearly 400 positions.


Employers have the choice to accept applications through the job board or direct candidates to apply on through the company’s website. Prospective employees can easily share their information with potential employers through the resume bank. Additionally, the NBA leverages this resource during college visits to connect prospective employees with opportunities in Nebraska’s banking industry. 


Details on how to post your open positions are available here. To access the job board, log in with your NBA website credentials. If you need help accessing your credentials or need to set up an account, you can find more information here.


The job board is a part of our ongoing effort to attract and retain top talent for the Nebraska banking industry. It's a straightforward and cost-free way for NBA members and associate members to advertise their job openings.


For more information or for assistance with posting a job, contact Laurie Johnson at the NBA at laurie.johnson@nebankers.org or 402-474-1555.

In letters sent to Governor Jim Pillen, Attorney General Mike Hilgers, Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance Director Kelly Lammers, Nebraska Legislature’s Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee and the Nebraska State Patrol, the NBA shared how the banking industry is working to combat phishing schemes through the #BanksNeverAskThat campaign.

Biden Administration Unveils Measures to Combat ‘Junk Fees,’ Promote Competition

The Biden Administration, in conjunction with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), has announced new efforts designed to address so-called “junk fees” and promote competition. Included in the action is a new CFPB advisory opinion related to Section 1034(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act. This section mandates that financial institutions with more than $10 billion in assets must promptly fulfill consumer requests for information regarding their financial products or services accounts, including supporting documentation. The CFPB intends to interpret it in a way that restricts "unreasonable obstacles" for consumers, specifically targeting excessive fees for obtaining basic information about their accounts. The CFPB also plans to release a proposal to require financial institutions to allow customers to send banking transaction data to other companies. The Administration says the proposal would “make it easier for people to break up with their bank, switch to banks with better offerings, and to manage accounts from multiple providers.” The FTC issued a proposed rule that would require businesses to show the full price upfront to ensure an informed decision regarding a product or service. The agency said the proposal would “ban businesses from running up the bills with hidden and bogus fees.”

Meet A Banker

Mirta Delgado had ambitious dreams as a child. At the age of nine, she immigrated to the U.S. with her parents and found her Hispanic heritage a powerful motivator to strive for making a positive impact in her community.

 

Her first job out of high school as a part-time, bilingual teller led her to more opportunities within the banking industry. She progressed from teller to personal banker, to loan offer and eventually a mortgage loan translator. Mirta also earned a bachelor’s degree in business management and leadership just two years ago. Now, as an assistant vice president, branch manager and loan officer at Five Points Bank in Grand Island, she is honored to have the privilege of supporting her community.
