                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                               GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy will first be sent on or about
April 12, 2004, to the stockholders of record of the common stock, par value one
dollar ($1.00) per share, of Blue Valley Ban Corp ("Blue Valley" or the
"Company") as of March 31, 2004 (the "record date"). The Company's Board of
Directors (the "Board") is soliciting proxies to be used at the 2004 Annual
Meeting of its stockholders and any adjournment thereof (the "Annual Meeting"),
which will be held at 5:45 p.m. on May 19, 2004, in the Bank of Blue Valley
office located at 135th & Mission Road, Leawood, Kansas, 66224.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to stockholders of record or their
proxies, beneficial owners of Company common stock having evidence of such
ownership, and guests of the Company.

Proxies are being solicited to give all stockholders of record an opportunity to
vote on matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. In the following pages of
this Proxy Statement, you will find information on matters to be voted upon at
the Annual Meeting.

Only record holders of the Company's common stock at the close of business on
March 31, 2004 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As
of the record date, there were 2,296,911 shares of Company common stock issued
and outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter properly
brought before the meeting. Shares can be voted at the meeting only if the
stockholder is present or represented by a valid proxy.

Your vote is important. Since many stockholders cannot personally attend the
meeting, a large number must be represented by proxy. Any stockholder giving the
accompanying proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised
at the Annual Meeting by (i) written notice to the Corporate Secretary, (ii) a
properly executed, later-dated written or electronic proxy, or (iii) voting by
ballot at the Annual Meeting. The method by which you vote will in no way limit
your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you later decide to attend in
person. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of
record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of
record to be able to vote at the meeting.

All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies
received prior to the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual
Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. If you
sign the proxy but do not specify how you want your shares to be voted, your
shares will be voted in the manner recommended by the board of directors on all
matters subject to vote by proxy. Votes will be counted by the inspectors of the
election appointed by the Chairman at the meeting.

If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual
Meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the
Annual Meeting to another time or place, the persons named in the enclosed form
of proxy will have discretion to vote on those matters according to their best
judgment to the same extent as you would be entitled to vote. The Company does
not anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The Company will pay the cost of this solicitation of proxies. In addition to
the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally, or by telephone by
directors or by employees of the Company. In addition, the Company will
reimburse brokers and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries for their
expenses in forwarding proxy materials to stockholders.

                                       1





REQUIRED VOTES--ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES

The board of directors of the Company is divided into three classes. At each
annual meeting of stockholders, the director(s) constituting one class are
elected for a three-year term.

Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, withheld votes, broker non-votes or
otherwise) have no impact on the election of director(s) except to the extent
that the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual
receiving a larger proportion of the total votes. If you sign the proxy but do
not specify how you want your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted in
favor of the election of each nominee listed on the proxy.

Each nominee must be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares entitled
to vote on the election of the director(s) and represented in person or by proxy
at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

While it is not expected that the nominee will be unable to accept office, if
for any reason he is unable to do so, the proxies will be voted for a substitute
nominee selected by the Board of Directors of the Company.

REQUIRED VOTES--OTHER MATTERS

The approval of any other matter properly presented for a stockholder vote,
including approval of the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, will be determined
by a vote of the majority of the shares of common stock represented at the
Annual Meeting; provided that a quorum is present. Voting on these matters will
be one vote per share. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes have the
same effect as voting against such matters. If you sign the proxy but do not
specify how you want your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted to
approve the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and accordingly to the discretion
of the proxy holders as to any other matters.

           COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MEETING ATTENDANCE

The board of directors had four meetings during the last fiscal year. No
director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the entire board or of the
committees on which he or she served. The Company does not have a policy
covering board member attendance at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However,
four of the Company's five board members attended the 2003 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.

The board of directors has a standing Audit Committee appointed from among its
members. In addition, the board of directors determined that Messrs. Henry and
Alexander qualify as Audit Committee financial experts.

The board of directors does not have a standing Nominating Committee or
Compensation Committee. The full board of directors nominates persons to serve
as directors of the Company. The compensation of the executive officers and
employees of the Company's subsidiary bank (the "Bank") is determined jointly by
the full boards of directors of the Company and the Bank.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Company has an Audit Committee consisting of three "independent" directors,
as defined by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange, as well as
two advisory members who are directors of the


                                       3





Bank. The Audit Committee reports to the full board of directors in performing
its responsibilities relating to our accounting, reporting and financial control
practices. The Audit Committee has general responsibility for oversight of
financial controls, as well as our accounting, regulatory and audit activities,
and annually reviews the qualifications of our independent auditors. The Audit
Committee operates pursuant to a written charter which was last revised and
approved by the board of directors on March 31, 2004. As stated in the charter,
the preparation, integrity, and fair presentation of the Company's financial
statements are the responsibility of management, as are the establishment and
maintenance of an internal control structure over financial reporting, and
safeguarding and management of assets and ensuring compliance with federal and
state laws and regulations. The Company's independent auditors are responsible
for auditing the Company's financial statements and expressing an opinion on
their conformity with accounting standards generally accepted in the United
States of America.

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Audit Committee met five times and
the Audit Committee discussed with management and the independent auditors the
interim financial information prior to public release.

In executing its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit
Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement
describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might
bear on the auditors' independence consistent with Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," and discussed
with the independent auditor the independent auditor's independence, including
but not limited to any relationships that may impact their objectivity and
independence and satisfied itself as to the independent auditors' independence.
The Audit Committee also discussed with management, the internal auditors and
the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of the Company's internal
controls and the internal audit function's organization, responsibilities,
budget and staffing. The Committee reviewed with both the independent and the
internal auditors their audit plans, audit scope, and identification of audit
risks.

The Audit Committee discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all
communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including
those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended,
"Communication with Audit Committees" and discussed and reviewed the results of
the independent auditors' examination of the financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company as
of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, with management and the
independent auditors. Pursuant to this review, the Audit Committee recommended
to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Members of the Audit Committee:
Wayne A. Henry, Jr.
Donald H. Alexander
C. Ted McCarter
Harvey S. Bodker (advisory member)
Suzanne E. Dotson (advisory member)



                              INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors, upon recommendation of its Audit Committee, has
determined to continue the services of BKD, LLP for the current fiscal year
ending December 31, 2004. BKD, LLP has served as independent auditor of the
Company since 1989. Such services will include the audit of the financial
statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending on such date, review of the
Company's quarterly financial statements during that period and other
appropriate services. A member of BKD, LLP will attend


                                       4

stockholders.

(1)    Shares of the Company's common stock are traded on the Over-The-Counter
       Bulletin Board; however, there were no trades on December 31, 2003.
       Management's estimate of the fair value of our common stock at December
       31, 2003 was $25.17 per share based upon the last trade of 2003 which
       occurred on December 16, 2003.


2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

In December 2003, our board of directors approved the Blue Valley Ban Corp 2004
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Company is proposing the Plan for
shareholder approval. The Plan, intended to qualify under Section 423 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, provides for the issuance of 100,000 shares of
the Company's common stock (the "Stock") to be made available for purchase by
eligible employees through payroll deductions.

We believe that employee equity ownership has been and shall continue to be a
key contributing factor to the success of the Company as it provides an
inducement to attract, retain and motivate high-performing employees.

The Plan is administered by our full board of directors and allows for employees
to elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the offering
period, February 1 of each year to the following January 31 (the "Offering
Period"), to purchase Stock of the Company at a price, to be determined by the
Board prior to each Offering Period, of at least 85 percent of the fair market
value of a share of the Stock on the enrollment date or 85 percent of the fair
market value of a share of the Stock on the last day of the offering period, if
lower; but in no event less than the par value of the Stock. Purchases of the
Stock will occur annually on the last day of the Offering Period.


DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We pay each of our non-employee directors a fee of $1,500 for each meeting of
our board of directors, and a fee of $350 for each committee meeting, that they
attend in person. Directors are also eligible to receive stock options,
restricted stock and deferred share unit grants under our 1998 Equity Incentive
Plan. In 2003, each non-employee director of the Company received 600 shares of
our restricted stock. Mr. Regnier received 1,800 shares of restricted stock.

                                       8





COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

All of our executive officers and employees are employed by the Bank and do not
receive separate compensation for positions held with the Company, Blue Valley
Investment Corp. Blue Valley Insurance Services, Inc. or Blue Valley Building
Corp. Executive compensation is determined jointly by the full boards of
directors of the Company and the Bank. During 2003, Robert D. Regnier, who is a
director of the Company and the Bank, and President and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and the Bank, Mark A. Fortino, who is Senior Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer of the Bank and Treasurer of the Company, participated
in the deliberations of the boards of directors of the Company and the Bank
concerning executive compensation for employees other than themselves. There are
no other reportable compensation committee interlocks or insider participation
matters.

    PROPOSAL # 2: APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY'S 2004 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the plan.

                                  OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no matters expected to be presented for
consideration at the Annual Meeting that are not described herein. However, if
other matters properly come before the meeting, persons named in the
accompanying form of proxy may vote thereon in accordance with their best
judgment.

                COMPLIANCE WITH EXCHANGE ACT FILING REQUIREMENTS

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange
Act") requires every director, officer and person owning directly or indirectly
more than 10% of any class of equity security which is registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file reports of ownership and changes in

                                       11





ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the Company's
equity securities are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act,
such beneficial ownership reporting requirements are not applicable.

                                                                      APPENDIX A

                              BLUE VALLEY BAN CORP

                             AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER





I.       ORGANIZATION

         There shall be a committee of the Board of Directors to be known as the
         Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall consist of three or more
         independent directors of Blue Valley Ban Corp (the Company), meaning
         that each director shall not be an officer or employee of the Company,
         but shall be independent of the management of the Company and free of
         any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would
         interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a committee
         member. When a member of the Audit Committee is a party to any
         relationship that might call into question such member's independence,
         as when such member has a short-term consulting contract with a major
         customer, the member should recuse himself from any decisions that
         might be affected by the relationship.

         The following persons are not considered independent:

         (1)  A director who is employed by the Company or any of its affiliates
              for the current year or any of the past three years;

         (2)  A director who accepts compensation from the Company or any of its
              affiliates during the previous fiscal year, other than
              compensation for board service;

         (3)  A director who is a member of the immediate family of an
              individual who is, or has been in any of the past three years,
              employed by the Company or any of its affiliates as an executive
              officer. Immediate family includes a person's spouse, parents,
              children, siblings, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law,
              sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and anyone who resides
              in such person's home;

         (4)  A director who is a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an
              executive officer of, and for profit business organization from
              which the Company or any of its affiliates received payments
              (other than those arising from investments in the Company's
              securities or repayments of borrowings to the Company or any of
              its affiliates) that exceed 5% of the Company's or business
              organization's consolidated gross revenue for that year, or
              $200,000, whichever is more; or

         (5)  A director who is employed as an executive of another entity where
              any of the Company's executives serve on that entity's
              compensation committee.

         (6)  A director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a
              current partner of the company's outside auditor, or was a partner
              or employee of the company's outside auditor who worked on the
              company's audit at any time during any of the past three years.

         The Board of Directors of the Company may also designate members of the
         Board of Directors of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of
         Blue Valley, as nonvoting advisory members of the Audit Committee.






                                                                      APPENDIX A

         All members of the Audit Committee shall be able to read and understand
         fundamental financial statements, including a financial institution's
         balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement or will become
         able to do so within a reasonable time after their appointment to the
         Audit Committee, and at least one member of the Audit Committee shall
         have past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite
         professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable
         experience or background which results in the individual's financial
         sophistication, including having been a chief executive officer, chief
         financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight
         responsibilities.

         The members of the Audit Committee shall be elected by the Board of
         Directors at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors to serve a
         term of 1year or until their successors shall be duly elected and
         qualified. The Board of Directors will appoint a Chair to preside at
         the Audit Committee meetings and schedule meetings as appropriate. The
         Chairman shall be responsible for Committee leadership, including
         scheduling and presiding over meetings and making regular reports to
         the Board of Directors. In the event the chairman is unable to attend a
         meeting, he may appoint an alternate to assume his responsibilities.

         A simple majority, in person or conference, constitutes a quorum.

         The committee is empowered to investigate any matter relating to the
         Company's accounting, auditing, internal control or financial reporting
         practices with full access to all Company books, records, facilities
         and personnel.

         The Committee may engage independent counsel or other advisors, as it
         determines necessary to carry out its duties.



I.       PURPOSE

         The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of
         Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the
         financial reports and other financial information provided by the
         Company to any governmental body or the public; the Company's systems
         of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance
         and ethics that management and the Board of Directors has established;
         and the Company's auditing, accounting and financial reporting
         processes. Consistent with this function, the Audit Committee should
         encourage continuous improvement of, and should foster compliance with,
         the Company's policies, procedures and practices at all levels. The
         Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are as follows:

         -    To serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the
              Company's financial reporting process and internal control system.

         -    To review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company's
              independent auditors and internal auditing functions.

         -    To provide an open avenue of communication among the independent
              auditors, financial and senior management, the Internal Auditing
              Department, and the Board of Directors.

         -    To report committee actions and make appropriate recommendations
              to the full Board of Directors.

         -    To do whatever else the law, the Company's charter or bylaws or
              the Board of Directors requires.





                                                                      APPENDIX A



         The Audit Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by
         carrying out the activities enumerated in Section IV of this Charter.



III.     MEETINGS

         The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times a year and at such
         times as requested by the Chair. The Chair of the Audit Committee shall
         prepare or approve an agenda in advance of each meeting. The Company's
         chief executive officer, chief financial officer, supervisor of the
         internal audit function, outside legal counsel, and representatives
         from the independent auditors may be invited to any meetings. Other
         management may be invited as necessary. Non-committee members may be
         excused from attendance at any meeting or portion of any meeting by the
         Chair. No member of the Audit Committee shall vote on any matter as to
         which his or her independence may be in question.

         As part of its job to foster open communication, the Audit Committee
         should meet at least annually with management, the director of Internal
         Audit and the independent auditors in separate executive sessions to
         discuss any matter that the Audit Committee or each of these groups
         believes should be discussed privately. In addition, the Audit
         Committee or its Chair should meet with the independent auditors and
         management quarterly to review the Company's financial statements and
         significant findings based upon the auditor's limited review
         procedures.



IV.      RESPONSIBILITIES

         To fulfill its duties and responsibilities the Audit Committee shall:

         1.   Review the Company's audited financial statements prior to the
              filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         2.   Review the Company's quarterly financial results prior to the
              filing of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

              submitted to any governmental or public body, including any
              certification, report, opinion, or review rendered by the
              independent auditors but not including any tax returns.

         4.   In connection with the Company's year-end financials, discuss with
              financial management and the independent auditors significant
              issues regarding accounting principals, practices and judgments
              and any items required to be communicated by the independent
              auditors in accordance with Statement on Accounting Standards No.
              61.

         5.   In connection with the Company's interim financials, discuss with

              accordance with Statement on Accounting Standards No. 71. The
              Chair of the Audit Committee may represent the entire Audit
              Committee for purposes of the quarterly review and communication.

         6.   Consider and approve, if appropriate, significant changes to the
              Company's auditing and accounting principles and practices as
              suggested by the independent auditors, management, or the director
              of Internal Auditing.




                                                                      APPENDIX A




         7.   Review and cause action to be taken, as appropriate, for (1)
              complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal

              submissions by employees regarding questionable accounting or
              auditing methods.

Independent Auditors

         8.   The independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the Audit
              Committee and the Board of Directors, as representatives of the
              Company's stockholders. The Audit Committee and the Board of
              Directors have the ultimate authority and responsibility to
              select, evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the independent
              auditors (or to nominate the independent auditors to be proposed
              for stockholder approval in any proxy statement).

         9.   Ensure annual receipt from the independent auditors of a formal
              written statement delineating all relationships between the
              auditor and the Company, consistent with Independence Standards
              Board Standard No. 1.

         10.  Ensure receipt of written confirmation from the independent
              auditors that they are registered with the Public Company
              Accounting Oversight Board ("Public Oversight Board") and are in
              compliance and in good standing with the Public Oversight Board.

         11.  Actively engage in dialogue with the independent auditors and
              legal counsel with respect to any disclosed relationships or
              services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the
              independent auditors.

         12.  Take, or recommend that the full Board of Directors take,
              appropriate action to oversee the independence of the independent
              auditors.

         13.  Meet with the independent auditors to review the scope of the
              proposed audit for the current year, the audit procedures to be
              utilized, the location, reliance on management, and staffing for
              the audit.

         14.  Approve, in advance, engagement of the independent auditors to
              perform audit services. In addition, approve, in advance, any
              non-audit service, including tax services, unless the aggregate
              amount of all such non-audit services provided to the issuer
              constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of
              revenues paid by the issuer to its auditor during the fiscal year
              in which the nonaudit services are provided.

              (1)  The audit committee of an issuer may delegate to 1 or more
                   designated members of the audit committee who are independent
                   directors of the board of directors, the authority to grant
                   preapprovals required by this section. The decisions of any
                   member to whom authority is delegated under this paragraph to
                   preapprove an activity under this subsection shall be
                   presented to the full audit committee at each of its
                   scheduled meetings.

         15.  Following each audit by the independent auditors, obtain from the
              independent auditors assurance that Section 10A of the Private
              Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 has not been implicated.

         16.  Supervise the coordination of the internal and external audits in
              a manner designed to produce completeness of coverage, reduce
              redundancy and use audit resources effectively.

Internal Controls

         17.  Review, as appropriate, with the independent accountant and the
              director of Internal Audit, the adequacy of the Company's internal
              controls, including computerized information system controls and
              security, and any significant findings and recommendations made by
              the




                                                                      APPENDIX A


              independent accountant or director of Internal Audit, together
              with management's responses to them.

         18.  Meet periodically with management, the director of Internal
              Auditing and the independent auditor regarding significant risks
              and exposures and assess management's steps to minimize them.

         19.  Meet periodically with management, the primary independent
              auditor, and the director of Internal Audit if any thinks there
              might be a need to engage additional auditors. The Audit Committee
              will determine whether to engage an additional firm and, if so,
              which one.


Internal Audit

         20.  The Audit Committee will review and have veto power over the
              appointment, replacement, reassignment or dismissal of the
              director of Internal Audit.

         21.  Review the regular Internal Audit reports with management's
              response.

         22.  Review, as appropriate, with the director of Internal Audit, the
              Internal Auditing Department's charter, organization, activities,
              independence, budget and staffing, and whether the Internal
              Auditing Department has complied with the Institute of Internal
              Auditing's Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal
              Auditing.

         23.  Review, as appropriate, any difficulties the Internal Auditors
              encountered while conducting audits, including any restrictions on
              the scope of their work or access to required information, and any
              changes to the planned scope of management's Internal Audit plan
              that the Audit Committee thinks advisable.

Compliance

         24.  Review the effectiveness of the system for monitoring compliance
              with laws and regulations, management responses, and follow-up of
              any instances of noncompliance.

         25.  Review the findings of any examinations by regulatory agencies and
              any auditor observations.

         26.  Obtain regular updates from management, internal audit,
              compliance, independent auditors, and company legal counsel
              regarding compliance matters.

         32.  Advise the Board of Directors on the Company's policies and
