Our Story
Who We Are
GBank Financial Holdings Inc. was formed with the purpose of expanding beyond the umbrella of community banking in Nevada.
We wanted to present ourselves on a national platform with appropriate Board leadership to achieve the goals in our Bank’s Gaming Fintech Division with national Gaming clients; in our capital raise and sub-debt offerings; in our national SBA lending programs in over 39 states; and, in our undertaking for our shares to become publicly traded on the OTCQX (GBFH).
We Care About People, Progress, and Perpetual Growth
Since its inception, GBank Financial has been on a positive growth trajectory and we’re constantly finding new ways and avenues to serve our investors and shareholders. GBank Financial is a public holding company with approximately half a billion in assets and it conducts business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, GBank. Based in Nevada, the company caters to businesses and small businesses across the country.
We’re venturing into Gaming, FinTech, and Payments Solutions for the largest Gaming Companies in the US – thus the requisite for strong leadership and oversight.
