Card Control with MobiMoney

Maintaining academics and a social life can be challenging and the last thing you want to deal with is a missing check card. With MobiMoney, you can turn your card on or off from your mobile device. But that’s not all. MobiMoney also allows you to set spending limits and monitor transactions within the app or by receiving instant alerts via text message. You can even set merchant preferences and limit usage based on location.



FirstMobile

Our mobile banking app includes many convenient features including remote deposit. Remote deposit allows you to take a picture of a check and deposit the money into your account without ever stepping foot in the bank. That means, if a family member sends you a check while you’re on campus, you can deposit it as soon as you receive it. FirstMobile also includes a transfer feature that allows you to make person to person payments. Pay your friend back for lunch or take care of your club dues straight from the app. You’ll just need some basic account information from the receiving party.


Allpoint ATM Network

As a customer of First Bank and Trust, it’s not likely that you’ll ever need to pay to use an ATM. That’s because we are part of the Allpoint ATM Network which includes over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs worldwide! Simply download the Allpoint app to find the free ATM nearest you!

Get A Mortgage Despite Student Loan Debt

Many college grads put off buying a home simply because they face mountains of student debt.

While many grads feel they can’t afford a home until they finish repaying these loans, but that isn’t actually always the case. In many instances, individuals and couples who owe student loans can still qualify for a mortgage. Take Stock of Finances & Calculate Your DTI One way lenders calculate whether you can afford a mortgage loan is by looking at how your total debt would compare to your current monthly income.

Huge buildings with charming storefronts lined the streets.  At the heart of the downtown district was the local drug store where people sat on swivel chairs and caught up with each other over a grilled cheese sandwich and a root beer float. People liked that you could get your prescription, buy a birthday card and have lunch, all right there in downtown East Park. The demise of East Park’s downtown was something that took place over an extended period of ...
