Albuquerque, N.M. –March 9, 2016 –Los Alamos National Bank (LANB) emphasizes their commitment to Albuquerque by investing in the purchase of a highly visible office building located at 7445 Pan American Freeway, NE.   The 26,000 square foot building will become LANB's new financial center in the Duke City, and will offer a modern venue for expanded banking products and services, including a Wealth Strategies Department specialized in trust, investments and private client services.
LANB is partnering with FBT Architects, a leading local design and architectural firm, to create a modern banking environment that will provide enhanced customer experiences.
