“We’re humbled to be recognized by Coloradans as a bank they not only like, but trust,” said Jim Reuter, CEO of FirstBank. “Delivering best in class customer service, ensuring we have the latest technology and always being reachable through our 24-hour call center and expansive branch network, are all extremely important to us. We want to make banking here – no matter if you’re a business or a personal customer – easy and convenient.”
In addition to being voted “Best Bank,” FirstBank was recently named a Top Workplace by the Denver Post and Workplace Dynamics, a leading employee survey provider, for the sixth year in a row.
The bank is also recognized as one of Colorado’s top philanthropists, donating over $4 million to local charities in 2016. FirstBank even helped launch and continues to be a corporate sponsor of Colorado Gives Day and Arizona Gives Day, which have raised more than $155 million for nonprofits since their inceptions ($145 million was raised in Colorado; $10 million in Arizona).
The company recently kicked-off a brand campaign titled “banking for good” that reflects its longstanding philosophy to always do what’s right for its employees, customers and the community.
