2024 Digital Annual Report

Strategic Hiring + Market Growth BUILDING HIGH-PERFORMING TEAMS Strategic hiring is key to our market growth, enabling us to bring in top talent that drives innovation, strengthens our operations, and ensures we remain ahead in a competitive industry. Identifying and attracting individuals who not only align with our values but are also equipped to shape the future of our bank is essential for leading us toward continued success and long-term growth.

Our employees are our most important asset. When it comes to recruitment, we focus on ensuring the right fit for both the individual and the bank. Our goal is to be the organization where employees can build a long-term career—we strive to hire to retire. Monica Anderson SVP - Human Resources Manager - Recruiter

Growing + Strengthening Communities CULTIVATING CONNECTIONS ACROSS MARKETS At First Bank and Trust, our approach to entering new markets is built on finding the right fit for both the community and our team. We don’t enter a market without ensuring the right people are in place to lead and cultivate customer relationships. For us, success is about more than business growth, it’s about building strong, lasting connections in every market we serve.

Joining First Bank and Trust Company has allowed me to make a personal commitment to each one of my clients, ensuring they truly feel ‘FIRST,’ while still offering the full range of products found at larger financial institutions. Heather Mercer VP - Business Development Officer
