Like the historic city of New Orleans, First NBC Bank was born on the Mississippi River and bred on commerce with the belief that providing real customer service and relationship banking is what customers are looking for in today’s financial market. From its inception only six years ago, First NBC Bank has become one of the areas primary lending institutions with assets of $2.3 billion.

Less than a year after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ravaged the Gulf Coast, First NBC Bank received its charter to begin operation from the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions. Through overwhelming support from the local community, the Bank’s initial capital footings exceeded $60 million, which set a record for the largest initial capital raised by a Louisiana chartered institution.
