About First National Bank


First for You Since 1876

First National Bank is proud to be locally owned and community managed. Since we opened our doors in 1876, The First has worked hard to support the financial needs of our communities by staying true to our core values. Not only are these values behind every decision we make for our individual customers, but our leadership and policies continue to be a source for strengthening other banks throughout Kansas. The network of banks doing business with us continues to grow and strengthen with each year, adding to the value of the communities we are so proud to serve.

Community Focused

Our community is at the heart of everything we do. We strongly believe that when we work together we can achieve more, faster. We dedicate ourselves to the support of local non-profits and help individuals reach their financial goals, not just through financial contributions but by rolling up our sleeves and doing the work ourselves. We put down roots here over 100 years ago. Since then, we’ve worked hard and continue to work every day to make a positive impact on our customers, our neighbors and our communities as a whole.
