Aspiration Bank Corporate Office

A 1

The former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton,  Andrei Cherny, decided that people had had enough of bad banking policies and how they took advantage of people when they were really down and out.

Cherney decided to create his own online bank that was far different than any other banking system available. Based out of Marina Del Rey, California, Aspiration Bank, sometimes called Aspiration Summit after the name of the checking account, was founded in 2013. Cherny saw the opportunity for a new kind of bank. One that would cater to a customer that is concerned with where their money is being invested by their financial institution and how their financial institution treats its customers as well.

A 2  Calling on Hollywood celebrities and athletes from the Los Angeles community, along with some of the biggest names in finance, Aspiration was able to pull together what might be considered one of the largest Series B in financial technology investment history for an online banking company.

Since its inception, the company states it has more than $350 million in savings and does approximately $2 billion per year in transactions. Clients can earn 1% interest on their accounts (there is only one account, no separate “savings” and “checking” accounts) and there are currently no charges for ATM fees.

The company never invests money in fossil-fuel industries, making it a popular option. 

The company also has a mobile phone app which makes the online banking process even easier. Aspiration is also known for being one of the nation’s most charitable banks, giving away 10% of their profits to non-profit charities that are not fossil fuel driven. A 3  The company makes money by charging a fee set by the customer for the services they use.

Company headquarters remain in Marina Del Rey, California.

First National Bank of Omaha Corporate Office

bank 2

First National Bank of Omaha can trace its roots back to 1856, when a group of settlers crossed the Mississippi river and made camp in Nebraska. One of the group members, Thomas Davis, donated $600 in gold dust to found a new city charter; the city of Omaha. Later, two brothers, Augustus and Herman Kountze opened a bank in Omaha, appropriately named Kountze Brothers Bank. The company originally traded in gold, gold dust, and buffalo hides. bank 4

A second bank opened in 1863 and began doing business under the name of First National Bank of Omaha.

In 1913, the company opened up a separate department for women only so female clients would feel more comfortable in a business setting. Tellers were females who served their clients’ tea in a more home-like atmosphere.

The Great Depression caused more than 750 banks in Nebraska to close. First National not only met their customers demands for cash, they extended their hours and honored every withdrawal request, proving they were solvent. bank 5

In 1953, the company became the 5th bank to offer their own credit card.

In 2002 First National Bank was selected one of “America’s Best Companies for Working Mothers” according to Working Mother magazine, an honor that has been repeated annually due to on-site child development centers.

In 2003, the company was named “One of America’s Most Admired Companies” by peers at Fortune Magazine.

On February 22, 2018, the bank announced it would no longer renew its contract with the National Rifle Association as a result of customer feedback after a recent school shooting in Florida. The bank had offered special branded Visa cards to NRA members to support the group. This has resulted in a quite a bit negative criticism. bank 3

The company operates as a subsidiary of First National of Nebraska. Company headquarters is located in a 45 story skyscraper in downtown Omaha, Nebraska. bank 1
