First Bank and Trust East Texas

First Bank & Trust East Texas is a locally owned community bank founded in 1952 and headquartered in Diboll, Texas. With 18 locations in 13 cities across Texas, including Cleveland, Lufkin, and Tyler, the bank has a strong regional presence. In January 2009, it received a superior ranking from an independent national financial firm for its safety, soundness, and performance over the past 10 years. The bank's focus on local customers is evident in its personalized service and community engagement. All employees live in the communities they serve, fostering a deep understanding of customer needs.

Despite its local focus, First Bank & Trust East Texas operates within the broader insurance industry, offering a range of financial services to individuals and businesses. While there is no record of recent investments or the involvement of external investors, the bank's strong reputation for financial stability and customer-centric approach positions it well for potential growth and expansion within the region.
