Committed to you. 

With the word “first” in our name, we better have something to show for it. We’re genuine community bankers, independently owned for decades, and we’re still here, going strong, thanks to you. As a community bank committed to helping our neighbors, we promise you’ll enjoy convenience without unnecessary obstacles. That’s why we’ll never stop working to simplify banking and why we’ll always be the first to lend our expertise whenever you need it.  

When our community does better, we all do better.
