While FirstBank & Trust (FDIC Certificate #14778) is a young bank (founded in 1996), its story reads more like a scenario from the early 1900s: a man promises his wife and his friends that he would "start a bank that would become profitable through relationships, hard work, and determination." That’s exactly what Barry Orr (current FirstBank & Trust Chairman and CEO) said and did. As FirstBank & Trust approaches its 20th anniversary, the Bank’s assets have grown to over $797 Million, as its market area as expanded, including the acquisition of three Texas banks.
