About Waypoint Bank: Your Community Bank!
Let Waypoint Bank be your guide to financial success.
History
Waypoint Bank, a group of family-owned, community-oriented banks in Nebraska and Colorado, has been offering vital financial services since it was initially chartered in Cozad, Neb., in 1883. While we have undergone several iterations and name changes, our commitment to providing genuinely personal and professional service has never wavered. We have been part of Cozad since 1917; in Colorado Springs, where members of the ownership group have lived since 1979, we started serving the community in 2002. The bank currently offers six locations in Nebraska and two in Colorado.
Community
Our goal is to make your community banking experience easy. We care about you, your family, and your business. We provide everything that the big chain banks offer but with a personal touch. We invite you to experience the difference at your nearest Waypoint Bank location.
