The ACCESSbank Timeline

Pat Corrigan, found of ACCESSbank in 2007

A Vision Takes Shape

In 2007, Pat Corrigan founded a locally owned bank with a clear purpose: to build something better for Omaha. Inspired by his experience during a major bank acquisition, he imagined a place where clients would be known by name, employees could thrive, and every decision would serve the greater good of the community.

With a team of just 12, ACCESSbank opened its doors on a promise of personalized service, strong relationships, and local leadership. What began as a single location quickly evolved into something larger - a bank designed to grow alongside its city.

A Milestone of Momentum

In 2010, the bank crossed a significant milestone by surpassing $100 million in assets, a strong sign of trust from the community and proof that local banking could thrive through relationships.

By 2012, this momentum had fueled the launch of a full-service mortgage division and the opening of a second West Omaha location. With every step forward, the mission remained the same: to grow with intention and stay grounded in service.

Expanding our Reach

As the bank continued to gain traction, assets climbed past the $250 million mark, and another location opened on 180th St., just south of Dodge. Designed with a modern feel and neighborhood warmth, the new location reflected the evolving needs of clients while keeping the ACCESSbank experience front and center.

deepening our roots

Growth took another leap forward with the acquisition of a fellow locally owned bank. The move doubled our team, expanded our reach, and strengthened our role as a community banking leader in Omaha.

Through board service, volunteer time, and long-standing partnerships, our team has continued to show up for the causes that matter most. Giving back is a core part of who we are.

a culture of kindness

Fifteen years in, and we celebrated not only longevity but also impact. We launched Be Kind, a pay-it-forward program that empowers employees to support the community in personal, meaningful ways. It’s an extension of the culture that’s always guided us, one rooted in service, generosity, and local pride.

The opening of our Aksarben location brought us into one of Omaha’s most vibrant neighborhoods, surrounded by small businesses, innovation, and opportunity. It’s the perfect backdrop for a bank that believes in progress with heart.
