First Metro Bank receives recognition
First Metro Bank, a community bank serving Colbert, Franklin and Lauderdale counties, was recently ranked #7 in SNL Financial’s “Top 100 Best-Performing Community Banks of 2013 with Assets Between $500 Million and $5 Billion”.
Nationwide, community banks were ranked using six core financial performance metrics that focus on profitability, efficiency ratio, net interest margin and loan growth.
Of all community banks ranked throughout the United States, First Metro Bank was one of only two banks recognized from the state of Alabama.
“We are gratified to receive such an accolade while remaining committed to the fundamental principles that were established at the bank’s inception,” First Metro Bank President and CEO Rodney Howard said.
“Our past has shaped our present and continues to influence our future. We remain committed to serve as a trusted partner within our community.”
