LAKEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks with a focus on “banking for good,” announced its 2024 second-quarter summary of the company’s holdings and activities. At the end of June, the bank reported the following quarter-over-quarter results. 

  • Net income through the second quarter of 2024 increased to $96.5 million 
  • Total deposits decreased by 2% to $24.1 billion
  • Net loan balance remained at $16.3 billion
  • Total assets decreased by 0.7% to $27.3 billion

FirstBank was named No. 1 in customer satisfaction in the Southwest Region by J.D. Power’s 2024 Retail Banking Satisfaction Study for the fourth consecutive year. 

“Heading into the second half of 2024, FirstBank remains focused on long-term growth, helping small businesses grow, and providing outstanding customer service,” said Kevin Classen, CEO of FirstBank. “In Q2, we also approved $79 million in loans for affordable housing projects and new developments, which will create an additional 265 units of housing for local families and individuals. This, combined with our top ranking in customer satisfaction, underscores our commitment to supporting local businesses, community developments, and affordable housing initiatives that enable economic growth. We’re proud to make a difference in the areas we serve.”

As part of its commitment to making homeownership more attainable, FirstBank has made considerable contributions to new affordable housing developments. The company recently financed $55 million in loans for Willoughby Corner, one of the largest net-zero-ready affordable housing developments in Colorado. Since 2020, the bank has financed over $500 million in affordable housing. 

In addition, FirstBank announced the return of its ‘Go Green’ campaign, where for each consumer checking account opened, the bank will donate to causes that help save bees, conserve water, and plant trees. In the first month, the campaign helped FirstBank open more than 4,000 new accounts and raise nearly $17,000.
