Sanford Contractor’s First Bank experience.

Barbara Angell, CFO, reflected on how the relationship with First Bank —which spans more than 20 years—has been beneficial for Sanford Contractors.

What has been the best part about working with First Bank for so long?

Our relationship with our local banker. And the Treasury Services team is just super. They are all easy to reach and ready to help whenever we have a question or need support with a new project. They ensure we get everything we need, when we need it. This level of service is so unlike the bigger banks.

Describe an instance where First Bank stepped up.

We love remote deposit capture; it’s been a life saver for us. At one point though, we spotted some fraudulent checks. The First Bank team was there to help and got us set up and protected with Positive Pay for both that type of transaction and for ACH as well. It is an extra level of security that helps everything run more smoothly.

First Bank provides quick, local decisions, and helpful, knowledgeable advice. Sometimes it’s not always what we want to hear, but it’s what we need to hear and it’s what’s good for our business.

– Barbara Angell, Chief Financial Officer
