Testimonials

Why Is It Rewarding to Bank with First Farmers?

I had the pleasure of once again visiting this bank in person today. Due to their user friendly website and comprehensive online services I rarely need to visit in person. Today, I needed to convert change into bills and I cannot do that online. If anyone knows how to do that, please clue me in. The staff here is always friendly and helpful and the bank’s services are all encompassing. I asked the staff member if she could pass a message on to their online department. She thought I wanted to voice a complaint. Nothing could have been further from the truth as I find no complaint with this bank. Along with the positive experiences I have had in person, their online services, website and attention to detail are outstanding. Secure messages are replied to in more than a timely manner and are informative. One of the better online services I have interacted with. First Farmers Bank and Trust in Paris Illinois is a well rounded bank and a pleasure to do business with. Highly Recommend.

After a long stretch of experiencing sub-par customer service from many different businesses and government entities, this branch of First Farmers Bank and Trust was a welcome relief. Christopher and the rest of the crew went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met today. At closing time, no less. Truly remarkable customer service. That’s a rare thing these days. Thank you all very much.

Best bank in town, in my opinion. Many of the people that work here, have been here for many years. They are truly kind, and treat customers with respect. My mother has banked with them for a very long time. And they truly treat her like family. And I'm not just saying that, they genuinely look out for my mother. This is a great bank, with the very best employees! Thank you for all that you do for my mother (Nancy) They will know who she is by first name only!
