Jerry Smith founded First Business Bank in 1990, alongside a team of banking executives. Their foundational insight was to establish an innovative, non-retail bank focused exclusively on business clients, eschewing traditional branch models. This approach prioritized deep relationships, disciplined credit practices, and a matched-funding strategy to deliver specialized financial services.

The bank primarily serves businesses seeking sophisticated financial partnerships and individuals requiring expert wealth management and financial planning. First Business Bank’s overarching vision is to elevate banking expectations by leveraging extensive experience to help clients navigate complex financial landscapes. It aims to empower clients to achieve their long-term financial objectives through proactive guidance and tailored solutions.
