Our History
We opened for business in 1955 as First National Bank of East Lansing, focusing on the financial needs of the local Michigan community. In 1974, we created a subsidiary company, First National Acceptance Company (FNAC), and began our journey into the note buying industry. We changed our name to First National Bank of Michigan in 1978, before making the final change to First National Bank of America (FNBA) in 1998. In an effort to bring value to even more customers, in 2011 we opened our branches in Traverse City and Grand Rapids. As a multi-faceted bank, we continue to expand our Commercial and Residential Lending divisions, Certificate of Deposit holdings and traditional banking products to better meet the needs of our current and future customers.
