BELOIT — First National Bank and Trust has again been awarded the highest (5-Star) rating for financial strength and stability from the Nation’s Premier Bank Rating Firm, BauerFinancial, Inc. In order to earn the 5-Star rating, FNBT underwent an independent analysis of its financial condition. 

First National Bank and Trust has the strength to support its community as it consistently excels in areas such as capital strength, profitability, asset quality and much more. This is the 78th consecutive quarter that First National Bank and Trust has earned a recommended rating (5-Stars or 4-Stars) from Bauer.

“One thing that has been made clear in the past year and a half is that a bank is neither a building nor technology. While both are good and necessary, it’s the people behind the walls and technology that make a bank what it is. They are also what has made First National Bank and Trust such an invaluable resource for the community. First National Bank and Trust’s employees have shown tremendous dedication and commitment to both customers and the community,” said Karen Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “Community banks, like First National Bank and Trust, help their neighbors through the good times and the bad. And First National Bank and Trust’s employees have done an admirable job, maintaining an unblemished balance sheet all the while.”

FNBT was established in 1882 and has been a source of strength for neighbors and friends throughout the community for 139 years. Find them at the branch, by phone or online at bankatfirstnational.com.
