We safeguard, invest, and move capital

When FFB opened its doors in Fresno in 2005, we set out to do what many banks promise, but few banks actually try: to treat every customer as unique. That very mission holds true to this day. In an industry chock-full of false promises, we back you up with a full range of customizable banking services that foster the type of growth that meets your individual needs and goals.
