New Faces, New Roles, and Exciting Opportunities
July 28, 2025
We’re thrilled to introduce two new team members and celebrate a familiar face transitioning to a new location.
Welcome, Darby Smith!
Mortgage Loan Originator, North Platte
NMLS #1813041
Darby Smith is bringing her passion for helping clients achieve their homeownership dreams to our North Platte mortgage team. With a career in banking that began in 2018, Darby has worked in different areas of the banking field, from teller to loan clerk and now to Mortgage Loan Originator. Her love for mortgage lending blossomed as she discovered the joy of helping clients through the home-buying process.
When asked what inspired her to join the North Platte team, Darby shared, “The commitment to client, community, and employee success. During conversations with others on the team, I quickly learned this is a great place to be, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it!”
Darby is already loving the welcoming North Platte community and is excited to build lasting relationships with her clients. She’s driven by a genuine passion for making homeownership dreams come true—and don’t be surprised if she asks to see pictures of your pets!
Welcome, Angie Kreutzer!
Assistant Vice President/Mortgage Loan Officer, Kearney
NMLS #1721524
We’re excited to welcome Angie Kreutzer to our Kearney mortgage department! With 13 years of experience in the mortgage industry, Angie brings a wealth of knowledge to NebraskaLand Bank. From processing and closing to assisting first-time homebuyers with programs like NIFA and grants, Angie has done it all.
When asked what drew her to the Kearney team, Angie said, “I love the community bank feel, the culture, and the people. It felt like home.”
Angie is no stranger to the Kearney community. She’s a board member of the Kearney Area United Way, a Leadership Kearney alum, and a past Junior Achievement teacher. She’s excited to continue serving the community she loves and helping clients achieve their homeownership goals.
Welcome to North Platte, Alex McGinley!
Mortgage Loan Officer, North Platte
NMLS #1756676
After nearly nine years with NebraskaLand Bank, Alex McGinley is making the move from our Kearney market to our North Platte main location. Her extensive experience in the mortgage industry and deep understanding of the home-buying process make her a valuable addition to the North Platte team.
Alex is excited to step into her new role and looks forward to experiencing all that North Platte has to offer, including NebraskaLand Days and finding her next favorite coffee shop. Her advice to first-time homebuyers? “Always look at getting pre-approved first. This will help you know what you can afford before house shopping, making you prepared to make that offer confidently on your new home.”
Say Hello!
We’re so excited to have Darby and Angie join the NebraskaLand Bank family and to see Alex thrive in North Platte. Be sure to stop by and say hello next time you’re in the branch—they’d love to meet you!
At NebraskaLand Bank, we’re proud to have a team that’s as committed to our clients and communities as we are. Here’s to new beginnings and continued success!
