Your Community Bank in North Carolina
Ready to talk to an expert?
Well, don’t believe that community banks versus big banks comparisons are always infallible. First Bank debunks many of these proposed theories. Let’s first take a look at the pros of big banks and how First Bank, despite being a local bank, fits right in:
- Plenty of ATMs and branches. There’s this notion that local banks don’t have enough branches to meet the convenience level of their national competitors. But First Bank has more than 90 locations throughout North Carolina, from Kill Devil Hills in the east to Asheville in the west.
- Deep menu of financial services. The other misconception about your community banks is that they only offer very basic services. But in addition to checking and savings accounts, First Bank proudly offers personal and business loans, mortgages, investment options, credit cards and more.
- Cutting-edge tech tools. Where did this idea that only big banks can offer the latest in technology come from? First Bank customers enjoy digital banking from their home computers or wireless devices, remote and mobile check deposit, text message account alerts, and more.
