Read What Our Customers Say About Us

"I would recommend FNBT for its friendly staff, no high pressure tactics, and making the process easy."
- James Q

"I chose First National Bank because it is a local bank and I wanted that "local feel" with my lender. That is exactly what I got. Our lender was truly amazing! As a first-time homebuyer I had no idea what I was doing. He called me and filled out my application with me, explained the process and what would happen every step of the way. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and timely (even after-hours and on weekends)! I seriously could not have done it without him."

- Julie S

"Toni and Kelsey were an A+ mortgage team for me".
- Therese G

"Refinancing with First National Bank was a positive experience. Erica went above and beyond to make sure we could close on time. She was always calling and checking in with us about the process. If I called her, she returned my call quickly. This is our second time using First National for a mortgage loan, because the first time was a positive experience from start to finish. Competitive rates and great customer service at a local bank. Would highly recommend for any banking service."

"If you need a new mortgage or refinance, First National Bank is the most dependable mortgage lender you will find. Thank you for your quick service."
- Barbara S

"I made the mistake of initially going through a large mega bank when initially shopping mortgages. Two months later my refinance was still pending and I couldn't get anyone to pick up the phone. I contacted First National based on a referral from a friend. This was the best thing I could have done. A few weeks later I was sitting at closing with a significantly lower interest rate, reduced closing costs with a loan officer who consistently communicated with me through out the process. This was during covid-19 at its worst and First National never failed to exceed my
expectations."
- Matthew P

"First National went above and beyond in processing our refi. We had some title issues and our lender stayed on top of it and worked with our attorney to resolve it so we had funds to pay subcontractors performing major renovations on our historic home. His personal touch made an otherwise stressful situation manageable."
- Sean L

"Laurie Selvie was truly amazing. Very professional , courteous, timely and friendly."
- Mark R

- Mark W

"I have a MOUNTAIN of student loan debt and was a first-time home buyer with pretty decent credit and a debt-to-income ratio that left much to be desired. With that fun context, I went to an online mortgage lender who promptly said "No." Then I went to a national bank, with whom I had a positive 12 year relationship, and they said "No." Then I met Erica and FNBT, and they said "Yes!" Now my family has a home of our own with a mortgage that we can afford and make real progress paying off. Winning happens here."
- Benjamin S
