First National Bank & Trust Earns Five Stars

June 26, 2009

The First National Bank & Trust in Atmore has earned BauerFinancial’s four or five star rating for every quarter that the financial services company has rated the bank.

From September, 1989 through the end of  2008, FNB&T received the four or five star financial stability rating. According to Karen L. Dorway, President of BauerFinancial, fewer than six percent of the banks in the United States have earned the “Recommended” rating since the inception of the rating program.

““I have always felt it was difficult to understand the financial industry because there are so many statistics to use to tell the story or stories. And bankers tend to use terms that mean nothing to the people that really matter, the customers. The beauty of the rating system by Bauer Financial is that it boils pages of statistics down to a simple comparison,” said Shep Marsh, president and CEO of FNB&T. “FNB&T has remained conservative in our approach to banking, building on relationships with people we know, and our current 5 Star rating has shown that to be beneficial in difficult times like these.”

    I used to bank at one of those big banks in Pensacola. I got so frustrated trying to deal with them and a fee for everything. I drive to Atmore from Molino just as often as I go to Pensacola. A friend told me about the First National and I moved an acount there. They are always so friendly and some have learned my name. That big bank would have charged a fee for knowing my name. I would recommend that you give them a try. It’s old fashioned banking like I remember when I was young.
