A Note on 2023 Regional Performance: 

Our Credo states that we are professional bankers building relationships and serving our communities. In 2023 the Cleburne Region made more than 1,600 small business and consumer loans in Johnson and Ellis Counties. Many of these loans were made to first-time home buyers who will go on to purchase goods in the communities, pay taxes, serve on local charitable organization boards, and ultimately make a positive contribution to our communities.

Our customers generously rewarded our efforts by naming Kim Hamilton the Best Loan Officer in Johnson County. Kim Hamilton celebrated her 40th anniversary with the bank in May 2023. With tenured leaders like Kim, it is no surprise First Financial Bank won Best Place to Work in Johnson County! As more families move to North Texas, both Johnson and Ellis Counties have seen tremendous growth. We are fortunate to have wonderful clients who recognize the importance of partnering with a local bank. One of those partners in Ellis County, Elmwood Homes, named First Financial and Alecia Bland Bank of the Year.

We are trusted. This simple statement is the basis for number 19 of our 21 Non- Negotiables, which we review company-wide daily. This statement and belief allowed First Financial Bank to emerge from the challenges the financial industry faced in the first quarter of 2023. Trust is not freely given and is a culmination of action over time. It is our pleasure to serve YOU, our customers, today and in the future.
