The First National Bank in Sioux Falls began its long-term commitment to the Sioux Falls area in 1885. The oldest bank chartered in Sioux Falls owes its longevity to a combination of service, stability, innovation, and family involvement. Over the past 138 years, First National Bank has worked diligently to promote the growth and vitality of this city and the surrounding area. The Bank strives to continually be recognized as a community leader by reinvesting in the communities it serves.
We have always believed there is a fundamental difference between community banks and giant regional banks anchored on the coasts. Last week, we witnessed what happens when a bank takes unnecessary risks, values short-term profits, worries about today’s stock price, and ignores long-term stability. The banks that failed invested all of their eggs into a niche and concentrated basket. At The First National Bank in Sioux Falls, we have proudly taken a conservative approach, focusing on values that we hold dearly. We will never be a flashy California bank, and we prefer it that way — it’s not by accident, it’s by purpose.
