About us
First International Bank & Trust started as a single branch in Arnegard, North Dakota, and over 109 years has evolved into a bank with 28 locations in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Arizona. We offer more than just banking. Our suite of expanded services is what makes us a full-service bank that our customers can count on. From Private Banking to Insurance services, we have the financial solutions to fit the needs of every one of our customers. In April 2018, we added a leading electronic payments processor. Behind the scenes of an electronic transaction, multiple financial institutions form a complex network to ensure the movement of funds. That process is made seamless with Kotapay. Every day we think about how we can make our bank better, and our communities stronger. We were recognized for those efforts on a national stage in 2018. The Institute for Extraordinary Banking™ named First International Bank & Trust its top bank at the Best Banks in America™ Super Conference. We believe in giving back to our communities. Across our footprint, First International Bank & Trust donated millions of dollars to community and non-profit organizations, and our employees volunteered nearly 4,000 hours. Our Mission: To be nationally recognized as a community bank whose innovation and drive for excellence is propelled by the best financial experts with a heart. Our Company Vision: Our customers leave feeling like family.

🚨 We want to make you aware of a rising fraud threat: Scammers have the ability to spoof FIBT's phone number – and they may call you, posing as a bank employee, requesting your confidential information. As a reminder, First International Bank & Trust will 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 call you and ask for your personal information. If you receive such a call, hang up – then, call a bank phone number you have on record, from our website (www.FIBT.com) or inside online banking. That way, you know you’re talking to us! To put it simply: When in doubt, don’t give it out. 🚫 For more security tips, we encourage you to spend some time in our Education Center: https://lnkd.in/gehQAQnf #FIBT #LiveFirst
