Exhibit 14

                                                         Date: February 26, 2004

                               TIERONE CORPORATION

                           CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

                                  INTRODUCTION

In order to assure the proper and ethical performance of our business and to
maintain the confidence of the public, our customers and our shareholders in
TierOne Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, all Directors,
Officers and Employees of the Company are expected to act in accordance with the
highest standards of personal and professional integrity in all aspects of their
activities, to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations and to avoid
misconduct and conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of
interest.

To promote these standards and values, the Board of Directors of the Company has
established and adopted this Code of Conduct and Ethics to provide guidance
concerning the standards of ethical conduct by, and responsibilities of, persons
employed by the Company or its subsidiaries and Directors of the Company and its
subsidiaries. This Code applies to the Company and all of its subsidiaries.

This Code outlines the broad principles of legal and ethical business conduct
embraced by the Company. To assist you, certain sections of this Code describe
clarifying examples or hypothetical situations that might arise within the
context of the particular section. These are illustrative only and are not
intended to limit the scope of the section. However, a written code cannot
answer all questions raised in the context of business relationships. Therefore,
this Code must be applied using common sense and good judgment. Issues with
respect to conflicts, legality or ethics may not always be clear cut and
Officers and Employees should consult with higher levels of management, the
Human Resources Department or the Internal Auditor/Compliance Officer and
Directors should discuss the matter with the Internal Auditor/Compliance Officer
or outside counsel.

                   II. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND CORPORATE VALUES

The nature of the business of the Company requires careful observance of
applicable laws and regulations. High standards of conduct and personal
integrity are essential for the Company to maintain the confidence of its
shareholders, customers, Employees, and the general public. To ensure that the
Company and all Persons embrace and promote sound ethical business practices,
the Company requires that all Persons agree that they will:

o     Act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of
      interest in personal and professional relationships;

o     Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments,
      and other appropriate regulatory agencies;

o     Act in good faith, responsibly, and with due care, competence and
      diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing one's
      independent judgment to be impaired;

o     Provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant,
      timely and understandable to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and
      understandable disclosure in reports and documents; and

o     Promptly report any conduct that the individual believes to be a violation
      of law or business ethics or of any provision of the Code, including any
      transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise
      to a conflict of interest.


                                       2
<PAGE>

                           III. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A conflict of interest exists whenever a Person (or a member of his or her
Immediate Family) has a personal interest in any entity or matter that may
influence a decision or cloud that Person's judgment in the discharge of his or
her responsibilities to the Company. It is the duty of every Person to avoid
situations from which he or she (or an Immediate Family member) might benefit
personally, directly or indirectly, or that give the perception that the Person
(or an Immediate Family member) is benefiting personally, from business
decisions, use of Company facilities or from relationships with Company
customers, vendors or contacts.

If a business opportunity relating to the Company's lines of business becomes
available to or is made known to a Person, subject to pre-existing continual
agreements with the Company and such Person, it must first be made available to
the Company before being acted upon by that Person, by his or her Immediate
Family or by any other Person.

Employees are prohibited from underwriting, approving or granting Bank loans to
companies in which the Employee has a substantial interest as an owner,
director, officer, or partner, or to companies in which a member of his or her
Immediate Family has such an interest; or to a member of his or her Immediate
Family. Such loans must be directed to another loan officer. When that is not
possible, the application may be taken and processed, but must be reviewed and
approved by another loan officer.

Employees should avoid any relationship that would cause a conflict of interest
with their duties and responsibilities at the Company. Employees are expected to
disclose any situations that may involve inappropriate or improper conflicts of
interests affecting them personally or affecting other employees or those with
whom the Company does business. Waivers of conflicts of interest involving
executive officers require the approval of the Board of Directors or an
appropriate committee.

To avoid conflicts of interest, Directors are expected to disclose to their
fellow Directors any personal interest they may have in a transaction upon which
the Board passes and to recuse themselves from participation in any decision in
which there is a conflict between their personal interests and the interests of
the Company.

A.    Compensation and Gifts.

The Bank Bribery Act prohibits any Person or agent of the Company or attorney
representing the Company from offering or receiving anything of value where the
item of value is offered with the intent of influencing the Person, agent or
attorney or a business transaction. This law is broad and carries civil and
criminal penalties, including fines and/or imprisonment. Gifts or awards given
in recognition of a Person's service or accomplishment in civic, charitable,
educational, or religious organizations are not prohibited by this Code.
Generally, there is no threat of a violation of the Bank Bribery Act if
acceptance of a gift or benefit is based on an Immediate Family (or other
familial relationship) or personal relationship, which exists independent of any
business with the Company or if the gift or benefit is made available to the
general public under the same conditions on which it is made available to a
Person.


                                       3
<PAGE>

1.    General Prohibitions: Except as provided below, Persons are prohibited
      from soliciting or receiving anything of value in any amount in connection
      with the business of the Company, including but not limited to money,
      goods, or services. This prohibition applies whether such was obtained as
      a gratuity/gift or as a "quid pro quo" exchange (something received or
      given as a reward for preferential action or service rendered by a
      Director or Employee). Additionally, this prohibition includes receiving
      compensation of any kind from any source for rendering services of a type
      that are performed or offered by the Company. A Director or Employee may
      not do indirectly what he or she is prohibited from doing directly; for
      example, arrange to have a prohibited gift made to a member of his or her
      Immediate Family. Similarly, a Person may not give gifts, meals, or
      entertainment (including a quid pro quo exchange) which are intended to
      influence, or that might give the appearance of influencing, another
      Person or a business contact in a business decision. Any action by a
      Person perceived to compromise another's judgment is prohibited.

      Example: An Employee may not solicit any sort of personal compensation in
      return for making a loan to a customer.

      Example: A Director who is in a position, whether directly or indirectly,
      to sell goods or services to the Company may not give gifts to the
      department responsible for making such purchasing decisions.

2.    Permissible Gifts: Any Person may accept anything of value from customers
      but only if it:

      a.    Is valued at $100 or less;

      b.    Is not intended to influence any decision by the Person;

      c.    Is unsolicited;

      d.    Is infrequent; and

      e.    Is not a quid pro quo.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances shall any person
      accept money as a gift from any customer.

      Examples of Permissible Gifts: Gifts which are likely to meet these
      guidelines are: advertising or promotional materials such as tickets to
      sporting events, pens, pencils, key rings, calendars and similar items
      valued at $100 or less.

      Additionally, a Person may accept gifts from individuals who have both a
      personal relationship with that Person and a business relationship with
      the Company, for such commonly recognized events or occasions as a
      promotion, wedding, retirement, or religious observance, if valued at $100
      or less.


                                       4
<PAGE>

If a Person is offered or receives something of value in excess of the
above-stated amounts which he or she believes may be impermissible under this
Code, that Person must disclose the matter to the Human Resources Department or
the Internal Auditor/Compliance Officer and seek a determination that the item
of value may be accepted or must be returned. The reviewer will give due
consideration to the criteria for permissible gifts and whether receipt poses a
threat to the integrity of the Company.

B.    Business Gratuities.

Payments for travel, lodging, meals and entertainment are normally permissible
if they (i) are reasonable in amount; (ii) are expended in the course of a
legitimate business meeting or an event intended to foster better business
relations; (iii) would be paid by the Company as a business expense if not paid
for by the outside source; and (iv) are unsolicited.

If a Person is offered payments of the type which he or she believes may be
impermissible, that Person must disclose the matter to the Human Resources
Department or the Internal Auditor/Compliance Officer and seek a determination
that the offer may be accepted or must be rejected. The reviewer will give due
consideration to the criteria for permissible payments and whether receipt poses
a threat to the integrity of the Company.

Example: Activities with existing or potential customers or vendors that are
paid for by them (including meals, sporting events and other entertainment, as
well as trips to customer and vendor sites, exhibits and other activities) may
be accepted only if the activity is a customary, accepted and lawful business
practice and is of sufficiently limited value that no possible inference can be
drawn that participating in the activity could influence you in the performance
of your duties for the Company.

C.    Transactions with Insiders.

The Company from time to time may purchase or lease real or personal property or
goods or services from a Person, a member of a Person's Immediate Family, or
from business entities in which a Person or in which a member of that Person's
Immediate Family is an officer, director and/or controlling shareholder.

It is the policy of the Company that any transaction involving insiders, also
known as related party transactions, must be conducted at arm's length and that
any consideration paid or received by the Company in connection with such a
transaction shall be on terms no less favorable than terms available to an
unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances. In accordance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Director's or Officer's interest in any
such transactions, excluding loans, requiring the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors action, shall be disclosed to the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors prior to any action being taken. Any such transactions involving loans
to certain officers defined in annual Board of Director resolutions which are
restricted by Regulation O, shall be reported to the Board of Directors.

                          IV. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

A.    Confidential Information Regarding Customers and Others.

Persons must take all reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of
non-public information about the Company or its subsidiaries and their
customers, shareholders and suppliers obtained or created in connection with
such persons' activities and to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of such
information unless required by applicable law or regulation or legal or
regulatory process.

B.    Permissible Dissemination of Confidential Information.

Dissemination of confidential customer information among Company subsidiaries is
permissible with the exception of those customers who have given written
notification to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all queries of a
legal nature that involve confidential information relating to a subsidiary's
customers must initially be directed to the Company's Corporate Secretary who
may refer such matter to the Compliance Officer and or outside counsel if deemed
necessary and appropriate.

C.    Confidential Information Regarding Current or Former Directors and
      Employees.

All requests for information regarding current or former Directors or Employees
must be referred to the Human Resources Department. The amount of information
the Human Resources Department may provide is limited by the Company's internal
procedures and applicable laws.

D.    Company Resources; Proprietary Information.

Persons are prohibited from selling, disclosing, or otherwise using the
Company's physical resources or proprietary information for personal benefit or
for the benefit of any other party. The definition of the Company's "physical
resources or proprietary information" includes all the Company's intellectual
property, including but not limited to any written materials, any computer or
network-based information, data, any other types of information or data
developed for the Company by an Employee or a vendor, supplier or other
contractor of the Company.

Example: Employees are prohibited from using the Company's marketing research
for a personal venture or disclosing proprietary information to a competitor.

                      V. PERSONAL INVESTMENTS AND FINANCES

A.    Trading in Company Securities.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved a policy to prevent insider
trading. A copy of the Company's insider trading policy is available upon
request from the Stock Compliance Officer.


                                       6
<PAGE>

B.    Personal Investments.

Directors must disclose to the Chairman of the Board and Employees must disclose
to their direct supervisor when they know of any ownership or beneficial
interest which they or members of their Immediate Families have with customers
or suppliers of the Company if they have responsibility for the account
relationship. Persons and their Immediate Families are prohibited from investing
in securities of customers or suppliers if they hold or share any responsibility
for the account relationship, unless the securities are listed on an equities
market and the purchase or sale is based upon information available to the
general public, or unless approval is granted by a majority vote of the Board of
Directors. In those instances where a personal investment in a given customer
has been approved, Persons must avoid participation in any Company decisions
concerning that customer.

Example: An Employee who is the account officer for or deals with the loan
account of ABC Company (a customer) may not invest personally in ABC Company
without receiving prior approval of the Board of Directors. (See also Section V.
D. "Loans" below).

C.    Purchase of Company Owned Property.

Purchase of Company owned or subsidiary owned property (real or personal) by
Persons or members of their Immediate Families is strictly prohibited unless
such purchase is on terms no more favorable than would be offered to an
unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances. For example,
the Company may allow Persons to purchase Company owned vehicles at fair market
value. Such related party transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Directors.

D.    Loans.

Loans by subsidiaries of the Company are available to Directors and designated
Regulation O Officers (except as more restricted from time to time by the
provisions of the Bank's Lending Policy Guide) on the same terms and conditions,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing for comparable
loans with other customers. Such loans must not involve more than the normal
risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, makes it unlawful for the
Company, directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, to extend or
maintain credit, arrange for the extension of credit or renew the extension of
credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any of its Directors or
executive officers except Regulation O loans are exempt from this prohibition
under a specific provision of the Securities Exchange Act. The Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 contains similar prohibitions and exemptions for certain Regulation
O loans.

Persons are prohibited from lending personal funds to persons known to them as
Company customers, except if the customer is an Immediate Family member or other
relative including the Person's siblings, grandchildren or the mother, father
and siblings of the Person's spouse. Persons may not borrow from a customer
unless the customer is a recognized lending institution.

                              VI. BUSINESS CONDUCT

A.    Business and Accounting Practices.

1.    No funds or assets of the Company shall be used for unlawful purposes.

2.    No unrecorded fund or asset of the Company shall be established or
      maintained for any purpose.

3.    No false or misleading entries shall be made in the books and records of
      the Company for any purpose. All items of income or expense shall be
      appropriately recorded.

4.    No payment by the Company shall be made with the intent or understanding
      that all or any part of such payment be used for any purpose other than
      that described in the books and records of the Company.

5.    No payment on behalf of the Company shall be approved without adequate
      supporting documentation or with the intention or understanding that all
      or any part of such payment is to be used for any purpose other than that
      described by the documents supporting the payment.

6.    Compliance is required with generally accepted accounting principles and
      procedures and with established internal accounting controls and
      procedures.

7.    The Company may require submission by Directors and Employees of reports
      or statements in compliance with this section, at such time or from time
      to time and in such form as the Company may specify.

B.    Political Contributions; Expenditures for Political Purposes.

1.    No funds or assets of the Company are to be used to make any unlawful
      political contribution. For purposes of this section, the term "political
      contribution" shall be deemed to include not only the direct or indirect
      delivery of cash or property of the Company to a political party,
      candidate, committee or organization but also includes: (a) the
      reimbursement by the Company to any Person or any other person, for a
      political contribution made or to be made by such Person or other person;
      or (b) the provision of services or the use of property or the making of a
      loan, to a political party, candidate, committee or organization by the
      Company, except in the ordinary course of Company business and on
      customary commercial terms. Purchases of tickets to political dinners or
      other similar events or of advertisements in political publications are
      considered to be political contributions and are not reimbursable.

2.    Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf shall establish
      any program to solicit, collect or distribute political contributions from
      a Person.


                                       8
<PAGE>

3.    No Person shall be under any obligation of any kind to the Company or to
      any other Person, to utilize any of his or her compensation to make
      political contributions and no Person or any other person acting on the
      Company's behalf, shall seek to create or enforce any such obligation.

You are encouraged to participate in political activities on your own time and
in accordance with your individual desires and political preferences. However,
it must be clear at all times that your participation is done as an individual
and not as a representative of the Company. Before you become a candidate or
appointee to a public office you must notify your supervisor and obtain the
Company's approval.

C.    Outside Business Interests.

Prior approval must be obtained in situations where a Person or his or her
Immediate Family members may profit from a relationship with a company or other
entity with which that Person deals with in the course of his or her Company
duties.

D.    Management Interlocks.

Persons should be aware of the various statutes and regulations either
prohibiting or restricting dual service by them in the following areas:

1.    Service as a director, officer or employee of any other commercial bank,
      banking association, trust company, savings bank, savings and loan
      association, or credit union;

2.    Service in an organization primarily engaged in the issue, underwriting,
      public sale or distribution of stocks, bonds or other securities;

3.    Service as an officer or director of a public utility or a registered
      public utility holding company or subsidiary; or

4.    Service as a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or
      representative of any obligor of securities for which the Company
      subsidiary with which he or she is affiliated is the indenture (corporate)
      trustee.

          VII. SPECIAL ETHICS OBLIGATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES WITH FINANCIAL
                           REPORTING RESPONSIBILITIES

  (This section is only applicable to certain executives specified immediately
                                    below.)

As a public company, it is critical that the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission be accurate and timely. Depending on their
position with the Company, Persons may be called upon to provide information to
assure that the Company's public reports are complete, fair and understandable.
The Company expects all Persons to take this responsibility seriously and to
provide prompt and accurate answers to inquiries related to the Company's public
disclosure requirements.


                                       9
<PAGE>

All Persons bear a responsibility for promoting integrity throughout the
Company. The Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the
Treasurer, the Controller, the Investor Relations Officer, the principal
accounting officer and all those Persons acting in a similar capacity have a
special role both to adhere to these principles and also to ensure that the
Company's corporate culture ensures the fair and timely reporting of the
Company's financial results and condition.

Because of this special role, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, Treasurer, Controller, Investor Relations Officer, principal
accounting officer and all those Persons acting in a similar capacity of the
Company are bound by the following Financial Officer Code of Ethics, and by
signing the Certificate of Compliance attached to this Code as Exhibit A, each
agrees that he or she will:

o     Act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of
      interest in personal and professional relationships;

o     Provide information that is accurate, complete, objective, relevant,
      timely and understandable to ensure full, fair, accurate, timely, and
      understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files
      with, or submits to, government agencies and in other public
      communications;

o     Comply with rules and regulations of federal, state and local governments,
      and other appropriate regulatory agencies;

o     Act in good faith, responsibly, and with due care, competence and
      diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing one's
      independent judgment to be impaired; and

o     Promptly report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
      Officer, or a member of the Company's Audit Committee of the Company's
      Board of Directors any conduct that the individual believes to be a
      violation of law or business ethics or of any provision of the Code of
      Conduct, including any transaction or relationship that reasonably could
      be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

Violations of this Financial Officer Code of Ethics, including failures to
report potential violations by others, is a serious matter that may result in
disciplinary action, including termination of employment. If any Person believes
that a violation of the Financial Officer Code of Ethics has occurred, he or she
should promptly contact the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer or a member of the Company's Audit Committee.

                           VIII. REPORTING VIOLATIONS

The procedures for handling concerns and complaints regarding questionable
accounting or auditing matters as adopted by the Audit Committee from time to
time are attached to this Code as Exhibit B.


                                       10
<PAGE>

Anyone who seeks advice, raises a concern or reports misconduct or a violation
of this Code is following the requirements of this Code and the desires of our
Board of Directors. We encourage such action. The procedures for handling
reports of illegal or unethical behavior are also set forth in Exhibit B.
Retaliation against anyone who makes a good faith report of misconduct is
illegal and will not be tolerated.

                                 IX. CONCLUSION

The Company conducts itself and its business dealings so as to comply with all
applicable laws and regulations. Where the requirements of such laws and
regulations are unclear, the advice of the Internal Auditor/Compliance Officer
or outside counsel must be sought to secure interpretation and to ensure
compliance. Every Person must understand the Company's internal policies and
procedures and the legal and regulatory framework within which the Company
operates and must take those steps necessary to ensure that any Persons working
with or under their supervision understand them. Persons are urged to reread the
Code from time to time to refresh their recollection of the statutory and
regulatory matters and the policies outlined herein.

This Code may be amended or modified by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Waivers of this Code may only be granted by the Board of Directors or a

A.    Reporting Illegal or Unethical Behavior

If you suspect or know of violations of this Code or illegal or unethical
business or workplace conduct by employees, officers or Directors then you have
an obligation to contact your supervisor or divisional manager. If the
individuals to whom such information is conveyed are not responsive, or if there
is a reason to believe that reporting to such individuals is inappropriate in
particular cases, then you may contact the Chief Executive Officer. Such
communications will be kept confidential to the extent feasible. If you are
still not satisfied with the response, then you may address your concerns to:
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, TierOne Corporation, P O Box 83009,

confidentiality will be protected to the extent feasible, subject to applicable
law.

regulations. If any Director, Officer or Employee has unresolved concerns or
complaints regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters, then you are
encouraged to submit those concerns or complaints (anonymously, confidentially
or otherwise) to the Audit Committee. Subject to its legal duties, the Audit
Committee and the Board will treat such submissions confidentially. Such
submissions may be directed to the attention of the Audit Committee of the Board
of Directors, TierOne Corporation, P O Box 83009, Lincoln, NE 68501.
