FBT named a top community bank in the nation!

So, what does it mean to be a community bank?

For us, it’s about a commitment to our neighbors—the individuals, families, business owners, nonprofit organizations and groups who enrich our communities and make them great places to live. It’s about our people being ready to help in every way possible.

This spirit of community is at the heart of who we are and everything we do. It’s what motivates us all to put our skills to work for you. We don’t need recognition for it, but it’s certainly nice to hear!

In that respect, we’re excited to share news about winning our latest Banky™ Award from The Institute for Extraordinary Banking™. We were honored and thrilled to be part of the celebration that recognizes top community banks throughout the country. The award reflects the work we do and our commitment to strengthening our community.

“Any bank can meet a customer’s financial needs, but First Bank Texas meets our customers’ personal needs,” said Zan Prince, First Bank Texas Chairman of the Board. “Our emphasis on banking relationships has allowed us to become a household name in the communities we serve.”

We consider ourselves part of the community in a personal way. We’re interested in relationships, not just transactions. We offer accountability, not just accounts.

Roxanne Emmerich, Chair and Founder of The Institute for Extraordinary Banking™️ touched on this theme during awards night: “The heart and soul of an extraordinary community bank is the visionary blueprint for the community's success and ability to enact that plan. Those banks, Top 5 Percenters™ in the industry, were chosen to receive this year’s Banky awards.”

We couldn’t win this award without you and your belief in us. That’s what makes it so special. It’s a community honor that shows how special and strong our bonds are as we’re working together.

Thank YOU for helping us earn this recognition!
