About First Financial Bank
At First Financial Bank, we like to say, “It’s just different here.” When you bank with us, you’re more than an account number. And more is exactly what you get—so much more, in fact, 4 out of 5 clients recommend First Financial Bank1. We have the distinction of offering a portfolio of products that match those of national banks, paired with the personal relationships and access to chief decision-makers that you expect with a local bank.
Our responsive local teams can create custom packages of sophisticated services not often found at banks our size, including business succession planning with Yellow Cardinal M&A Services2, foreign exchange with Bannockburn, and even employee banking.
