It was 1973 in Detroit, Michigan when National Bankers Supply Corporation opened its doors and started offering money and check handling solutions. A small company with a big name and big ideas, NBSC primarily provided check processing supplies, printer paper rolls, courier bags, locking deposit bags and vinyl zipper wallets to banks, credit unions and processing centers in the Detroit area.

In 1996, NBSC was purchased by its current owners, Roy Shields and Steve Perhacs. Soon after acquiring the company, the new owners moved its base of operations to Belleville, Michigan which continues to be the world headquarters of the company to this day. The new owners also began systematically expanding and refining the company’s product line as technology allowed and the dictates of the marketplace required. For example, they added disposable poly bags and deposit bags made from co-extruded poly film as they became available, and through a painstaking development process, they fine-tuned their production of tamper-evident closures that stay closed during transit, but that are nearly impossible to open without visible signs of tampering.

Their constant eye for product quality and reliability, and their dedication to exemplary customer service has kept the company’s customer base growing even faster than its product line. In 1999, NBSC launched their online catalog at BankSupplies.com, which has been growing steadily ever since. As a result of the web site’s popularity, the company officially changed its name to BankSupplies, Inc. in 2007.

Thanks to the continuing success of catalog and online sales, the company has also expanded its facilities at an astounding rate. From its humble beginnings in a small warehouse back in 1996, BankSupplies has expanded to over 50,000 square feet of office and warehouse space, with separate distribution hubs in five locations around the country.

As it has since the beginning, you can rest assured that BankSupplies will continue to provide quality, reliability and service to its ever-growing clientele, keeping them ahead of the money handling demands of the future.
