location is seventh overall for southeast region
LUMBERTON, Texas, Dec. 2, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- First Financial Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of
First Financial Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIN), has announced the
opening of its 79th branch, a 3,300-square foot location
in Lumberton.
The addition of the Lumberton
location extends the Southeast Texas Region's reach further north
into Hardin County. The region
also has locations in Orange,
Vidor, Mauriceville, Newton, Port
Arthur and Beaumont.
"Lumberton is a vibrant,
rapidly-growing community in a region that is a natural fit for
First Financial Bank," said Stephen
Lee, Chairman, President and CEO, Southeast Region. "First
Financial Bank moved into the region nine years ago and, over that
time, the company has experienced tremendous growth. The people and
businesses in Southeast Texas have
been great customers and we look forward to expanding our presence
and serving them long into the future."
The new facility features a three-lane drive-thru, plus ATM,
lobby tellers and a convenient access off Highway 96, immediately
north of Lumberton High School and west of Walmart. Customers can
expect the same first-class customer service in Lumberton delivered at First Financial Bank's
78 other locations across the state.
"First Financial takes great pride in its role as a community
bank, contributing to the fabric of our communities for the
collective success of our customers, communities and the bank,"
said TJ Lingle, Senior Vice President, Hardin County Market
President. "Relationship banking has fallen at many banks, but not
at First Financial. We are excited to bring personal banking to the
Lumberton community, where we know
our clients and they know us. Our bankers live and work here, our
kids attend local schools, and our family members own businesses in
Lumberton. We are not only
committed to the community, but invested as well."
First Financial Bank expanded its footprint into Southeast Texas in 2013, making up the bank's
Southeast Texas Region, one of 12 in the state. In that time, the
bank has emerged as a regional leader in banking and customer
service while contributing to and participating in many community
initiatives.
