Dundee Bank, which bills itself as a bank that attempts to appeal especially to women, has opened at 5015 Underwood Ave. and plans a grand-opening ceremony for 11 a.m. Friday.
The bank in the former Buffett & Son grocery is a branch of Ansley (Neb.) State Bank and the brainchild of Ansley banker and former Omahan William Brush.
Jeff Royal, president of the branch, said the boutique-style office has a “stylish, almost hip banking environment” designed to appeal especially to women because they do most of the buying, handle most checking accounts and own most of the businesses in the country.
Last spring Omaha financier Warren Buffett and his longtime partner, Charlie Munger, visited the building, where they had both worked for Buffett’s grandfather in their youths.
The building housed other offices for several years and was vacant when the Architectural Offices bought and restored it, occupying the eastern portion of the building while the bank installed its office on the western end.
It’s the first full-service bank near 50th Street and Underwood Avenue since 1998, when the former Packers National Bank closed its office at 5005 Underwood.
