About NBKC

Andy Adkins is incredible
“My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Andy on our most recent home purchase. He communicated frequently, answered our calls and texts every time we had a question, took the time to explain things, looked for the best rate and fought for us to close earlier than the closing attorney was saying we could close. He saved us close to $2000 in moving expenses by getting us an earlier closing. I cannot say enough great things about Andy and our experience with him! ”
—Lisa Astin from Atlanta, GA
Smooth process!
“Andy is very knowledgeable, tentative, helpful and made closing a breeze!! I would trust NBKC over other banks and would definitely use NBKC/Andy for my lending needs again!”
—Leanne Martin from Frisco, TX
Stellar Service
“Loved working with Andy. I can't think of anything he could've done better. He was quick to explain everything, quick to answer every text, email or call, and he let me know when he was taking a vacation. He handed me off to a competent colleague while he was away and followed up as soon as he was back. I'm sure he's working with a bunch of folks at all times but I felt like I was the only customer, such was his attentiveness.”
—Dave from Birmingham, AL
Andy did a great job on my mortgage loan!
“Andy approached me in the last minutes of my mortgage loan application, but he got the work done quickly and professionally. We were able to get the best mortgage rate on the market and to close our house purchasing in time!! I would highly recommend Andy if you are seeking competitive mortgage loan for home purchase.”
—Bo Wang from Saint Paul, MN

Held my hand all throughout the process
“buying a home was such a scary daunting process for me. fortunately for me, Andy was by my side the whole time. he has been a tremendous help in this whole process and keeping my anxiety at bay. 10/10 would recommend to everyone I know.”
—Pablo G from Chicago, IL
Very thorough AND Patient!
“First time homebuyer with many, many questions. Andy was patient and encouraging and never made us feel like our questions were stupid or a bother. He ran a ton of different scenarios for us, answered things for us multiple times (in multiple ways when it just didn't click for us), and let me check in probably a little too often! He was very knowledgeable, and we would absolutely recommend. He was trustworthy and when it's time for us to go through that process again, we want him again! ”
—Ashely B from Mckinney, TX
You can trust Andy!
“My husband and I are first-time home buyers and were overwhelmed by the process of obtaining a loan for a home. At least we were until we got in touch with Andy Adkins. Andy is one of the most helpful, professional, and pleasant people we have ever worked with. In any capacity. Ever. For nearly 4 months, Andy helped us to understand and navigate one of, if not the worst, housing markets in American history. Throughout the entire process, Andy answered every one of our questions in regard to loans, interest rates, and contracts. His timeliness and knowledge proved to be an invaluable asset during our search. In our selection process, we compared multiple lenders and loan officers, none of which came close to the service we received from Andy and his team. While due diligence is key to any potential buyer, our advice is to save yourself some time (and potentially some money) and work with Andy.”
—Nina Lacks from Ruckersville, VA
Andy Aces it Again -- AAA service!
“What if I told you that my loan officer would reach out and tell me that he could save me hundreds of dollars by refinancing my mortgage to lower rate? What if I told you he made it easier than getting out of bed in the morning? Well, that's exactly what Andy did . . . again. Andy was my original loan officer when I bought my home. After making that utterly effortless, I didn't hesitate to let him work my refinance with even LESS effort. It literally takes my mid 40s beat up body more effort to get out of bed every morning than it took for me to refinance my home with Andy. The result was more money in my pocket and a much deeper respect for Andy. When Andy calls, I answer. Why? Because there's always good news at the end of an effortless road. If you're buying or refinancing a home, choose Andy Adkins and NBKC Bank. You won't find a more genuine, experienced person - I'd put my house on it . . . again!”
—Kevin Hemme from Pleasant Hill, MO
Get to know Andy
What is your motto or personal mantra?
What you focus on grows, so focus daily on the positive outcomes you desire in your life and they will absolutely come true.
What is something that people would be surprised if they knew about you?
I make an award-winning cherry pie from scratch. As a kid, my grandmother Helen always made me one every time I went to the farm to visit. She never had a recipe written down so when she lost her memory, I lost the best pie ever made. Store pies are awful, so I researched and tried tons of recipes before finally finding one that was close. After a few tweaks I had it and won 2 pie contests with it! I use her old rolling pin when I make the crust. Thanks Grandma!!
