At First Citizens Bank, we’ve been helping people do more with their money since 1898. We’ve grown a lot in the years since, but have never forgotten that financial decisions are life decisions. And that our work makes a difference for the people, businesses, and communities we serve—and for the associates on our team. As we like to say, money isn’t everything, but so much depends on what you do with your money.

Our Purpose

Better banking that helps people live better lives.

The Way We Work

Working Harder And Smarter: We work together, we dig deeper, ask better questions and learn more. Everything we do is about helping customers succeed.

Life-Long Relationships: We build relationships—with families, companies, communities and associates—that last for decades.

Uncompromising Integrity: A family-controlled bank, we know there’s a wrong way and right way to do banking. And we choose the right way.

Who We Are

We've been helping families and businesses make more of their finances for 125 years. We've shared their dreams, helped make budgets work harder and built financial plans to last them the rest of their lives. And in that time, we've built a solid track record of service, stability, and reliability.

Supporting Our Communities

In our line of work, people come first. That’s why we’re proud to lend our support to causes that help people in need. As a company, we work with organizations in the areas we serve to help them make our communities stronger. Our employees also donate hundreds of volunteer hours every year to causes close to their hearts.

In every region we serve, First Citizens and our employees give our support to cultural events and worthy causes that keep our communities strong.
