FirstBank Voted “Best Bank” in Colorado for Second Consecutive Year

Lakewood, Colorado, May 24, 2017 -- FirstBank, Colorado’s second-largest bank and one of the nation’s largest privately-held banks, was voted “Best Bank” during ColoradoBiz’s Best of Colorado Business Choice Awards. The online voting program runs for several months and allows participants to select companies they trust most to take care of their family and friends across several different categories, including finance, real estate and professional services. This is the second consecutive year FirstBank was named “Best Bank.”

“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.

FirstBank offers a variety of checking and savings accounts, mortgages, home equity loans and a full range of commercial loans and business accounts and services. For more information, visit efirstbank.com.
