First Bank Spotted in Times Square

In celebration of First Bank being chosen as one of North Carolina’s best banks by Forbes for 2019, the bank’s partners at Nasdaq arranged for a congratulatory message to show in New York City’s Times Square.

Everyone at First Bank is truly honored by this recognition. Michael Mayer, First Bank President and CEO also shared his thoughts:

Our selection this year as one of North Carolina’s best banks by Forbes is really gratifying. First Bank has experienced tremendous growth in the last three years, adding more than 20 branches and increasing overall asset size from $3.4 billion to $6.1 billion. But through it all, our commitment to communities throughout the Carolinas has remained central to who we are and what we do. This recognition shows that we’re on the right track—not only in how we serve our customers, but in the financial products and the technology we provide to help them achieve their goals for their families and for their businesses.

Whether you’re looking for a personal bank account, a business loan, a new home, or solid financial advice, we’d be happy to serve you and to help you achieve your dreams.
