About us
Founded in 1996, The First Bank was formed by a group of business leaders who had a vision for creating a bank that would support the communities it served and build sustainable long-term relationships with clients in those communities. Now, that dream has grown to an $8 billion asset, multi-state financial institution with operations spanning Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. As one of the largest certified Community Development Financial Institutions in the nation, The First employs over 1,000 team members in 107 full-service branches throughout the five-state region. Since 2010, the bank has been awarded over $7.2 million in grants for their investments in communities to help support economic growth and job creation. The company’s stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol, FBMS.
