For the second year in a row, the Kansas City Business Journal has named Nodaway Valley Bank one of Kansas City’s Top Five Strongest Large Banks of 2024. The study which included every bank with assets of $1 billion or more noted that NVB had only 0.03% in problem loans in a $936.5 million portfolio, backed by equity capital of $104.8 million with a core capital ratio of 11.2%.
In January, the Business Journal recognized NVB as one of the fastest growing commercial lenders during 2024 n the eight counties comprising the Kansas City metropolitan market. As of March 31, 2025, the bank had $280 million in loans in the Kansas City market. As Business Journal Staff Writer James Dornbrook noted, “Kansas City is blessed to have a wide selection of large banks that can handle any size transaction, but being large and having a well-known brand doesn’t automatically equate to strength.” Nodaway Valley Bank is a relative newcomer, having entered the market five years ago.
