Where Friends Become Family!

The First Metro Bank family would not be complete without our First Friends. In 1990, the First Friends Account was established to combine banking, traveling, friendship, and memory-making all into one.

First Friends enjoy amazing trips across the country, day trips with exciting sightseeing opportunities and entertainment, plus one-of-a-kind local events! Karen Johnson, First Friends Coordinator, is the face behind it all: preparing across country trips, theatre events, luncheons, and exquisite one-day outings to keep our First Friends eager for the next destination.

 

“Every aspect of the First Metro Bank family is experienced when you are a First Friend – valued relationships, first-class service, and employees who treasure the opportunity to serve you. As a First Friend, whether traveling by land, sea, or air, you will create lifetime memories and develop friends who become family.”
