First United Bank Named One Of The Top 100 Community Banks

First United Bank has been included in the 2022 Best Performing Community Banks report which was released by S&P Global Market Intelligence, according to Steve Rehovsky, CEO of First United Bank.

S&P Global Market Intelligence launched these rankings in 2011 to assess the performance of community banks and credit unions. The division ranks institutions based on returns, growth and efficiency but places a premium on the strength and risk profile of balance sheets.

In the Midwest Region category of Best Performing Community Banks with assets under $10 Billion, First United Bank was ranked 16th out of 1,848 banks. Nationally, in the category of Best Performing Community Banks with under $3 Billion in assets, First United Bank ranked 85th out of 3,782 banks.

“We are extremely pleased with these reports. As a community bank, we strive not only to provide the best service possible but to operate efficiently as well. Our customers can feel confident knowing they are banking with a company that is performing at a high level,” stated Rehovsky. “These reports are also a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the great employees that work at First United Bank.”

First United Bank, founded in 1885, has assets totaling over $675 million and offers full-service banking along with Trust and Insurance services. The bank has a long history in northeast North Dakota including locations in Park River, Adams, Michigan, Petersburg, Grafton, Hoople, Crystal, Aneta, Sharon, Cooperstown, Devils Lake, Cando, Cavalier, Fargo, Maddock and Rugby.

Your Money Is Safest In Your Financial Institution

A message from Lise Kruse, Commissioner of Department of Financial Institutions

With just over 10,000 banks and credit unions, the U.S. banking system is large and diverse, designed to serve the economic needs of a large and diverse country.

North Dakota currently has 67 state-chartered banks and 20 state-chartered credit unions with over $30 billion in assets.

U.S. financial institutions are regulated by an experienced network of state and federal agencies. Most importantly for consumers and businesses, depositors are protected by the full faith and credit of the United States through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

Founded in 1933, the FDIC has provided stability to our banking system and assurance to our citizens. No insured depositor has lost money in the history of the FDIC. Similarly, the NCUA was established in 1970 and provides the same stability to the credit union system.

This is why during this period of uncertainty; your money is safest in your financial institution. Money at home can be stolen or lost due to a fire. However, money in a bank is locked and secure, and your deposits insured up to $250,000 per account. Want to see if your money is insured? Check out the FDIC’s or NCUA’s insurance calculator at edie.fdic.gov/ or www.mycreditunion.gov/share-insurance-estimator-home.

State financial regulators charter and supervise 79% of the nation’s banks, 39% of the nation’s credit unions, and are the primary supervisors of nonbanks like mortgage lenders and payments companies. Across the nation, we are working with each other, with federal regulators and with the industry to find the best ways to manage the impact and recovery from the COVID-19 virus. We have a mandate to ensure safety and soundness, protect consumers and to promote economic growth.

As your state regulator, my job is to ensure that our citizens have broad easy access to banking and credit services, and I will continue to do so during this pandemic.
