SUMMER 2014
Dear Chairman’s Club customer,
I am pleased to report that First Farmers is continuing to grow across Middle
Tennessee. We are continuing to add new convenience services, new products and
new locations to improve how we serve you, our valued customer.
For example, our new Mobile Banking App includes a handy Mobile Check Deposit
feature that allows you to use your smartphone to deposit a check into your First
Farmers account from anywhere just by taking a picture of it.
Later this summer, we will open our new Financial Center in the Green Hills area of
Nashville, representing our first location in Davidson County. The office will be staffed
by a team of highly experienced bankers focused on delivering professional advice
and service.
Our Investment Services team is continuing to grow and can assist you with a variety
of investment and retirement planning options in every county that we serve. I
encourage you to let us help you plan to achieve your financial goals.
In 2013, our bank helped hundreds of families across Middle Tennessee buy a new
home or improve an existing one. We were also there to help start up new businesses
and provide capital to aid the growth of existing businesses. We can help you take
advantage of today’s historically low interest rates to buy the home of your dreams or
fund your business for greater success.
