From James W. Wright, Chairman
First Tuskegee Bank was formed in October 1991 by purchasing selected assets and assuming selected liabilities of the former Tuskegee Federal Savings and Loan Association from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC). The former institution, Tuskegee Federal Savings and Loan Association, was chartered on December 31, 1894, which allows us to claim that our bank is one of the oldest continuously operated minority financial institutions in the United States.
First Tuskegee Bank is a chartered state commercial bank and an FDIC member. In September 1993, First Tuskegee Bank opened the first African American bank in the history of Montgomery, Alabama. In January 1996, a second Montgomery branch, which is located in the downtown financial center, opened. We are pleased with the overwhelming response we have received from both communities of Montgomery and Tuskegee, as well as the surrounding communities. We are quickly becoming a premiere community development bank in the area by creating and delivering quality and competitive banking products and services at exceptional values.
Our commitments are simple and straight forward:
- To Our Customers: We will provide superior service and quality products.
- To Our Employees: We will foster an environment of trust, teamwork and recognition of accomplishment.
- To Our Directors: We will provide a competitive, equitable return through prudent business practices, profitable products and services and the development of long term customer relations.
First Tuskegee Bank will be known for its leadership in this market by delivering to its customers banking products and services through new and improved technology. Presently, we offer such services as: a Secured Credit Card, ATM access, 24 Hour Telephone Banking, as well as many other competitive products and services.
We intend to remain visionary, viable and independent. We will focus on increasing stockholder value and will continue to provide personal services while emphasizing the importance of personal involvement of our employees within our local communities.
Our core business lines are producing income streams which add significant potential to our future earnings. Currently we have 34 knowledgeable and customer oriented employees, who are executing our strategic plan exceptionally well. They are meeting more of our customers' needs by delivering the finest quality financial services when, where, and how they are needed. As a result, we are confident in our ability to continue building our earnings momentum. As we strive for continued improvement, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
