The community bank of choice in Moore County

First Bank is grateful to have been a part of Moore County for more than 30 years. The growth that Moore County has seen continues to be an inspiration for us as an independent community bank. Just as the Town of Aberdeen highlights in their vision statement, “as we grow, we will retain our unique history and character and provide the services and amenities to continuously enhance the quality of life for our citizens”, we strive to do the same for our customers.

What is a community bank?

Our designation as a community bank means that our primary focus is to build banking relationships within the communities where we operate. As a result, your hard earned money stays within your local economy where it can fund small business loans, help your home value grow so you can tap into your home’s equity, and invest in the future of your community. First Bank was founded in Troy, North Carolina during the Great Depression and has since grown to more than 110 locations with over 1,400 employees across North and South Carolina. Everyone from our forward-facing personal bankers to our back-office support associates are your neighbors who care about the success of this community.

Committed to Your Success in Moore County

Our team is deeply rooted in Moore County and are devoted to helping their neighbors succeed. We offer the same services as the national banks, but specialize in personalized service from bankers who know your name and live in your neighborhood. Meet a few members of our Moore County First Bank team:

Making the Difference

“In my 30 years of banking experience I’ve come to understand that people are what make the difference when it comes to being an excellent community bank. I am a banker because I love what I do, not just because I am paid to do it. It is important to me that my customers can be successful and that I earn (and keep) the trust of my community.”

 

Kasey Dixon

Branch Manager | Aberdeen Branch

Building Trusted Relationships

“The most important part of being a banker is building trusted relationships with customers. I provide a unique banking experience to my customers so that it is tailored to their needs and allows them to grow. The most rewarding part of my job is seeing how my community has been able to thrive and knowing that I have been able to provide support for that.”

Stacy Donathan

Branch Manager | Southern Pines Branch

Helping to Realize Your Dreams

“Being a banker to me means treating my customers as I would want to be treated. By keeping a line of communication open and being available when my customers need me, I am able to be there to help them realize their dreams. Moore County is my home and I want to see it succeed.”

Martha Mappin

Branch Manager | Pinecrest Plaza Branch

Remaining True to Her Word

“In my 35 years experience as a Branch Manager, the most important thing to me is remaining true to my word. No matter what situation a customer brings to me, I will follow-through with it to the end and keep my customer informed throughout the process to find a solution that is best for them.”

Power of Good projects, programs, experiences, and relationships are focused on four key impact areas: affordable housing, education, financial education and wellness, and food scarcity and supply.

Image for tile. Go Gastro in Greensboro Greensboro, North Carolina is changing. Known for its contributions to both manufacturing and civil rights, a new area of notoriety is emerging. Cultural diversity is changing the way the city eats, and no one’s complaining. From new concepts to old favorites, First Bank lays out an ideal day of dining. These eateries aren’t the only options, but you won’t regret any of our selections below. Breakfast No one does breakfast like Smith Street Diner. A Greensboro staple that touts being open 8 days a week, the diner offers the classics. One might speculate how they can fit such great portion sizes into such a cozy space, but somehow they manage. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, fresh coffee and hand-squeezed orange juice may sound simple, but you can taste the love in everything they create. Make sure to sample one of their signature cat head biscuits before paying the bill. Be sure to get there early, because lines can go out the door. Lunch Since 1989, Jerusalem Market has been the choice for Middle Eastern eats in Greensboro. Just walk through the door and the scents of exotic spices and savory delicacies invite you to stay. Try the “Best Hummus in the World” and their pistachio baklava. Catch them at their new downtown location for a healthy meal backed by a healthy environment. Midday Snack Looking for a midday snack? Look no further than Yum Yum Better Ice Cream, located in the heart of the UNC-Greensboro campus. This iconic establishment has been family owned and operated since 1906. Serving a selection of homemade ice cream and classic hot dogs, Yum Yum is known for flavor, not flash, and it’s long been a staple for UNCG’s student body. Get “one all the way” hot dog and a “kid’s cone” of ice cream to hold you over. Dinner If you’re looking for a dinner that is a break from the norm, look no further than Crafted Restaurants. There are two Crafted locations in Greensboro with diverse themes. Before you jump the gun and assume Crafted – The Art of the Taco is a Mexican restaurant, take a look at their menu. On it, you’ll find such tacos as the “Fedora,” which is filled with succulent 4 min read
First Bank Celebrates Elizabeth Bostian During Women’s History Month Beginning her career in a male-dominated industry, Elizabeth Bostian, First Bank’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has risen above gender stereotypes to pave a way for generations to come through her perseverance and high-standing achievements. With a major in English Studies and unable to define the purpose of an invoice, Bostian had much to learn about the industry she would soon enter. During college, Elizabeth worked alongside a business manager, where she quickly developed a passion for law. Following her obtainment of a law degree, Bostian spent 5 years at a law firm in Greensboro before she began working for First Bank. During her tenure at the bank, she has worked to develop her capabilities to the fullest by embracing unfamiliar territory in a safe space. “First Bank has allowed me to feel safe enough to say ‘I don’t know’ or to ask questions” stated Bostian. With a determined mindset and secure environment, Elizabeth’s ability to safely fail at times granted her the ability to grow in the most unexpected ways. As the third generation Elizabeth, Bostian always admired her mother and grandmother as they encouraged her to have a growth mindset and embrace the challenges ahead. Elizabeth noted the role her late grandmother played in her life by being a well-educated and traveled woman for her age as well as demonstrating the confidence and courage it takes to shape the life you aspire to have. Being raised by a single mother, Bostian was also aware of the obstacles faced by women and the deterrent effects of unconscious bias against those who wished to obtain a higher degree. Along with the equal expectations set in place for Elizabeth and her siblings, Bostian’s mother and grandmother built the foundation that drives her to advocate for gender equality. Throughout her professional life, Bostian emphasized the importance of every woman that has come before her. Influenced by the women around her, she gained the knowledge of how to navigate male-dominated industries and developed strong relationships with those who valued her abilities and provided wisdom on how to elevate them to make a difference. As a result of her mentorship and self-discovery in the banking industry, she aspires to encourage women of the younger generation 4 min read
