Rooted Here. Giving Back. Growing Together.
Because community is more than where we do business. It's who we are.
At First Arkansas Bank & Trust, being a community bank means more than having branches in the communities we serve. It means showing up, lending a hand, celebrating local successes, and investing in the people and places that make Arkansas home.
Since 1949, we've believed that when our communities thrive, we all thrive. That's why we're proud to support local schools, nonprofit organizations, military families, small businesses, and the many individuals who work every day to make our communities better.
We're not just bankers. We're neighbors. And we're proud to give back to the places we call home.
Making a Difference. Together.
Small acts. Big impact.
Sometimes making a difference means writing a check. Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves, volunteering our time, or simply being there when our neighbors need us most.
For FAB&T, community involvement isn't just something we do. It's part of who we are.
From supporting local schools and youth programs to helping families facing difficult circumstances, our employees bring the same care and commitment to their communities that they bring to our customers every day.
And together, those efforts add up to something pretty special.
Our Community Impact
In 2025, FAB&T was proud to make a difference through:
-
Nearly 3,000 volunteer hours dedicated to hands-on community service.
-
Over 130 organizations supported across our communities.
-
More than $150,000 in monetary and in-kind contributions.
Behind every number is a person, a family, or an organization making Arkansas a better place to live.
Supporting What Matters Most.
Local schools. Local causes. Local impact.
Every community has people and organizations working to make life better for others. We're proud to stand beside them.
Investing in Education
From classrooms and school programs to athletics and student activities, we believe supporting local schools is an investment in the future of our communities. Our School Spirit debit card program is just one way we help turn hometown pride into meaningful support for participating schools.
Honoring Those Who Serve
Our relationship with the military community runs deep. From supporting service members and their families at Little Rock Air Force Base to participating in initiatives that benefit veterans, we're honored to give back to those who give so much.
Lending a Hand
Food drives, fundraisers, community events, and nonprofit partnerships are just a few of the ways our team comes together to help neighbors in need. Big or small, every act of kindness matters.
Building Stronger Communities
Whether we're supporting a hometown celebration, volunteering at a local event, or partnering with organizations that make a difference, we believe strong communities are built by people who care enough to get involved.
More Than Bankers. We're Your Neighbors.
The heart of FAB&T is our people.
You'll find FAB&T employees doing much more than helping customers with their finances.
They're coaching youth sports, serving on nonprofit boards, volunteering at local events, supporting military families, and finding countless ways to give back.
It's that spirit of service that makes our team special.
Our core values guide the way we work, the way we treat one another, and the way we serve our communities:
- Be Respectful
- Follow the Do-Right Rule
- Follow Through on Our Commitments
- Hold Each Other Accountable
- Make It Fun
We believe doing the right thing doesn't stop when the workday ends. And we couldn't be prouder of the people who put those values into action.
A Legacy of Putting People First.
Proud of our past. Invested in our future.
When Kenneth Pat Wilson founded First Arkansas Bank & Trust in 1949, he established a tradition of community banking built on relationships, trust, and service.
More than 75 years later, that commitment remains at the heart of everything we do.
Banking has changed. Technology has advanced. Our communities have grown. But our belief in the power of people helping people hasn't changed.
As a family-owned community bank, we're proud of where we've been, excited about where we're going, and committed to making a positive difference along the way.
Let's Make a Difference Together.
Our communities are filled with incredible people doing incredible things. We're grateful for the opportunity to support their efforts and help build a stronger Arkansas for generations to come.
Because at FAB&T, community isn't just part of our name.
It's part of our purpose.
Trust us to put you first.
