BRYAN | COLLEGE STATION | FRANKLIN
A Note on 2023 Regional Performance:
Our region experienced growth in many areas in 2023 and made several pivotal moves to enable us to accomplish future goals.
We opened our new offices on Harvey Mitchell Parkway South in College Station, where we moved trust, mortgage, commercial lending, and retail services. With this move, we had the strongest new account growth we have seen, surpassing our best year by 116% as a region, with 26% of this growth coming from our new Harvey Mitchell location.
We recruited the premier mortgage team in the Bryan/College Station area to ensure we have the resources and expertise to serve our growing communities. Since joining, they have brought new customer referrals, contributing to our annual growth.
We converted our Robertson County loan production office into a full-service branch on the square in downtown Franklin, adding a strong retail team and the two best lenders in the Robertson County area. This location quickly brought in deposits and new accounts.
First Financial Bank of Bryan/College Station was proud to receive The Eagle Reader’s Choice awards for Best Bank/Credit Union and Best Place to Work.
The stability and strength of our company’s balance sheet and our treasury management resources have positioned us well for future growth. I am excited about 2024 in Bryan/College Station. We have the right front-line lenders and retail teams behind us to be successful.
