Background
First BankAmericano opened as a newly chartered bank in Elizabeth, New Jersey in January 1997. The bank was established by a group of multi-cultural business people whose primary focus is and remains � to serve the banking needs of businesses, professionals and individuals in ways that will contribute to their growth and economic development of the community.
First BankAmericano�s markets contain an attractive mixture of residential and commercial development with stable household bases and substantial levels of commercial activity.
Bank Mission
Today�s mergers and acquisitions have led to a highly consolidated, big-bank dominated market. As a result, our local communities are now being served by branches of larger out-of-state banks rather than by banks like FBA - a locally owned and operated independent community bank with �grass root� ties to the community by its employees and a community oriented board of directors.
The sole interest of First BankAmericano is to provide the very best in personalized financial services to individuals and businesses and to provide our shareholders with outstanding growth in their investment.
The key to excellent earnings is that our people are well motivated and work harder (and try to work smarter) than our big-bank competition. FBA strives to be the �best� (not the �biggest�) every single day, with quality in everything we do. This approach takes advantage of First BankAmericano�s strengths, enhances its profitability, and is consistent with our objective of offering a broad rage of financial services within our communites.
