West Gate Bank® Receives Lender Honors From USDA Rural Development

West Gate Bank® (www.westgatebank.com) in Lincoln was recognized by USDA Rural Development Nebraska State Director Maxine Moul as a Top Ten Lender (Ranking eighth) for the Fiscal Year 2015 USDA Rural Development’s Guaranteed Rural Housing (GRH) loan program. West Gate Bank® delivered nearly $2.7 million in home loans to allow 34 rural Nebraska families to “build a better future together.”

In Fiscal Year 2015, 75 approved lenders participated in the GRH program and provided more than $103 million to assist 1,030 rural Nebraska households in achieving homeownership. The program assists first time homebuyers and those who are seeking a different home because of changing family needs. GRH loans have been processed in 76 out of the 93 counties throughout Nebraska.

Moul said, “We appreciate the Nebraska approved lenders, our partners, who make this program such a success.  We anticipate another active year and we look forward to helping more rural Nebraskans to achieve the dream of homeownership.  I wish to thank West Gate Bank® for their dedication in using the program.”
