First American is Athens' oldest locally owned and managed community bank, serving Northeast Georgia since 1928. We employ mo ... re than 100 talented and energetic employees who are trained to assist our customers in managing their financial resources. We still have bankers and lenders and real people answering the telephone and making decisions with the full support of computers behind them, not in front of them. We have redefined what banking should offer. Our mission is to energize our employees, engage our customers and improve our community. First American Bank separates itself from the competition by nurturing its client base and offering greater flexibility in product design and lending structures. We offer a full range of personal and commercial banking products. By using the latest in technology and product expansion - including internet banking with bill pay features, cash management and debit cards - First American is able to provide the same product choices as larger financial institutions with hometown service. We are constantly working to provide the latest in financial technology and partner with our customers in helping them meet their financial goals and objectives.
