FOND DU LAC, Wisc. – NEB Corp. President Eric Stone announced that it has reached an agreement with National Bancshares Waupun, Inc., to purchase NBW Bank.  NEB Corp. is the holding company for National Exchange Bank & Trust, and National Bancshares Waupun, Inc. is the holding company for NBW Bank.

Jerry O’Connor, President and CEO of NBW Bank, commented, “National Exchange Bank & Trust has the capacity and commitment to be a long-term financial services solution for our customers. They present a solid community bank culture that values their employees and supports their customers with a full array of financial services.”

“The addition of NBW Bank will be a great fit with our geographic footprint, and NBW’s history as a community bank that invests in their people and neighborhoods aligns naturally with National Exchange Bank & Trust,” Stone, also CEO of National Exchange Bank & Trust, said.

James Chatterton, President and Chief Operating Officer of National Exchange Bank & Trust, commented: "The leadership teams of the two institutions will be integrally working together to preserve a quality customer experience. We have a strong commitment to support the staff and customers as we make this transition.”
