Our Statement on Soundness and Stability
Although recent events surrounding Silicon Valley Bank and Signature bank may have caused concerns regarding the safety of your funds, we are confident in our ability to meet your needs today and well into the future. As a privately held institution with a history as a trusted and reliable partner for more than 165 years, ANB is and has a long and demonstrated track record of being a stable, safe, and preferred place to bank.
Doing more, together, in the midwest for over 167 years.
At American National Bank, we believe in doing. Because doing is what starts a business, a profession or a farmstead—then grows it. What saves for a new home and provides for a family? Doing is what allows us to give back and help those in need. It’s what makes our communities thrive. Makes your life, and the lives of your loved ones, better. And we’re here to help you do even more. To help our clients accomplish their goals, then set new ones. To help businesses start, scale and go national. To find solutions and solve problems. To stand by your side and guide you through the good times and the bad. We start by listening—to understand your motivations, your needs, your goals and your options. We get to know our clients so we can help guide them on the best path possible. And we work side by side to deliver on our promises, achieve your goals and exceed your expectations.
Our Mission
Be the preferred financial services provider to businesses and individuals, while providing rewarding challenges and opportunities to our employees and investing in the communities where we live.

Our Focus
-
Community Involvement
-
Establishing deep, long-term client relationships.
Since the bank’s humble beginnings, we’ve always operated and succeeded by putting our clients first. Focusing on relationships, more than just transactions. Partnering with our business and personal clients to achieve their long-term financial goals, instead of being focused on our own quarterly earnings quotas like other large banks. At American National Bank, we work hard for our clients, and always have. Because together, we can do more.
-
164 years of more.
Our beginnings date back to the frontier days along the Missouri River in 1856. Since that time, the bank has grown to become one of the largest banks in the region with major operations in Nebraska, Iowa and the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Our continued strength and stability is the result of fiscal responsibility, local leadership and considered, conservative banking practices—as well as our commitment to delivering highly personalized service and innovative products to the people and businesses in the communities we serve.
