First Community Bank History
The bank opened for business on August 4, 1997, at 710 St. Louis Street in Batesville, Arkansas, with 14 employees and $3.5 million in capital. Through local decision-making and a genuine interest in the financial well-being of the communities served, it soon became a bank known for putting customers and community first. The tremendous growth resulted in the need for additional locations, and so the expansion story began. Until December 2019, when the bank expanded to Northern Arkansas where a full-service banking center opened in Harrison, bringing the total number of branches to 27.
The bank grew by acquiring new banks, opening additional locations, or attracting new customers in existing markets, always with a focus on community banking.
