First Western started in 1910 in Booneville, Arkansas. In the 100+ years since then, bold entrepreneurs with smart ideas have turned our formerly small communities into big business. We now serve Western and Northwestern Arkansas and beyond and have expanded our financial services to better help you manage your finances, protect your family, and grow your wealth. Yet, the most important things haven’t changed: the way we treat people and the way we treat each other. We call it “The First Western Way.”
