Community banks continue to thrive
in the Corridor and F & M Bank is no
exception. With strong leadership and
commitment to providing quality products
to its clients, F & M simply wants to
be the best bank in the corridor. F & M
Bank continues to cultivate current and
develop new markets in order to grow
the organization.
As it experiences this growth, F & M
offers the technology-based banking that
clients and prospects demand, but insists
that personalized, relationship-based
banking continues to be the core of what
they do. “We strive for controlled growth
as we look to the future. We want to develop
opportunities with new and existing
clients that result in a mutually beneficial
relationship for the client and the bank,”
states Michael W. Dunn, President.
F & M Bank’s team of financial experts
and strong family connections differentiates
them from other banks. Investing
in, and development of their team are
top priorities for the bank’s leadership.
To date, F & M’s team of 120 financial
professionals have a total of over 1,500
years of banking experience. That is experience
you can trust. The cumulative
years of experience has allowed F & M to
create a culture that supports growth for
its employees and its clients. This culture
is based on integrity, trust, performance
and reward. F & M knows that creating a
strong, healthy organization results in a
stronger, more viable organization.
Understanding our client base and
tailoring our services to them is why F &
M Bank has continued to thrive throughout
the bank’s history. A genuine commitment
and active involvement in the
communities where our clients live and
do business is a big part of what we do.
The F & M Bank Cares program, which
we originated in the year 2000, connects
our team members with their local communities
and allows us to make a difference.
The F & M team members have
personally donated over $120,000 to local
families and charities.
A locally owned institution for 93
years, F & M currently has three generations
of the Dunn family involved in the
management and operations of the bank.
Mutual respect and setting the highest
expectations for one another are key elements
to the success of the bank, as well
as building lasting relationships with its
clients. We hold ourselves accountable
for not only our performance but for the
success of our clients. The focus continues
to be on offering prompt, personalized financial
services and proactively assisting
clients in achieving their financial goals.
“F & M’s personal touch has proven
to be successful,” said Dunn. “We care
about our client’s success. Our mission
is to exceed clients’ expectations, and it’s
our people that make the difference.”
Whether visiting one of F & M’s branches
or speaking with a team member over
the phone, it’s the bank’s personal and
professional way of doing business that
continues to make it “the right choice”
for customers throughout the Corridor. •
