About FSBT
Ever since The First National Bank of Norton opened for business in the Spring of 1887, our bank’s combination of sound principles, ethical standards, and a business approach focusing on our unique experience have been the foundation for our success. They continue to guide us in our third century of business.
The First Security Philosophy is a combination of our mission statement and core values. As a company and individually, the First Security Philosophy guides us to:
- Build long-term relationships with each other, our customers, our shareholders, and our communities, we focus on relationships not transactions
- Provide top quality service by delivering more value than customers expect and making a conscious effort to continually improve our service
- Maintain high ethical standards wherein we do what we think is right rather than merely doing what the policies and procedures require and we apply this standard to all our relationships: with each other, our customers, our shareholders, and our communities
- Invest in safe sound assets by assessing character first, setting risk standards higher than those of other financial institutions, conservatively managing operating, credit and market risk, and we take a long-term view, emphasizing asset quality
- Treat each other with dignity and respect by keeping our word, resolving conflicts early, maintaining an ‘open door’ policy, sharing our experiences and mentor each other, and constantly improve our performance through continuous learning
- Serve our customers with dignity and respect
by doing what is right, keeping our word, avoiding conflicts of interest, rigorously protecting customer confidentiality, keeping channels of communication open, remaining committed to a relationship when customers face difficulty, delivering outstanding value, exceeding expectations through extraordinary customer service, relating to customers as part of our team, keeping assets safe, helping customers find new resources if they outgrow us
- Reward shareholder trust by commitment to our principles, applying conservative accounting policies, being open with internal and external auditors, living a deliberately conservative corporate lifestyle, protecting the value of shareholder investment, seeking secure long-term gain, communicating openly, and delivering sustained superior financial performance
- Serve our communities by focusing on social and civic service, providing consistent, long-term support, and encouraging employee volunteerism
Our company has changed and grown, especially over this last decade, and is poised for increasingly dramatic change and growth. What has not changed, and will not change, are the values at the heart of your bank.
Using this philosophy, we build for the future of First Security Bank and Trust to ensure our combined success.
Sincerely,
Karl S. Kohfeld Joe Herman
President CEO/Executive Vice President
