List of Banks Headquartered in North Carolina The fact that North Carolina is home to a large number of banks might surprise you. Over the years, the Tar Heel state has become a hub for banks of all sizes. Many community banks, like First Bank,* are headquartered in North Carolina and are making a case for being a better choice. There’s no denying that huge corporate banks manage billions more than your local bank, but data indicates that community banks hold over $5 trillion in assets in the United States. This is because community banks have maintained an important place in the nation’s business and economic sector, especially for small business and agricultural lending. Why First Bank is the Bank for You First Bank opened its first branch in Troy, NC, in 1935, and since then has been committed to helping individuals, families, and small businesses achieve their short-term and long-term goals. To this day, we continuously strive to evolve and improve our services to meet the wide-ranging needs of our customers across the states of North Carolina and South Carolina.** With nearly 100 locations in NC, First Bank can be found in every major city, from the coast to the mountains. We have a range of mobile personal and business banking services*** available to you, as well as mortgage, loan, and credit options.
