New buyer emerges for troubled Summit National Bank in Wyoming

A new buyer has emerged for Summit National Bank in Hulett, Wyo.

Greg Jacobson, who initially came in third place in a bankruptcy auction to buy the bank, now has a deal after the two higher bidders were unable to gain regulatory approval, according to court documents.

Victor Remsha initially won the auction last summer with a bid of about $5.5 million.

Mode Eleven, the bank’s holding company, tried to recapitalize in late 2024 after it shut down its Banking-as-a-Service platform. That deal fell through in April 2025.

In a separate filing, Mode Eleven’s CEO asked the bankruptcy the court to approve the sale quickly to avoid having the bank seized and closed by regulators.
