First National Bank, the largest subsidiary of F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB), is one of the region’s leading full-service banks and we have been committed to residents and businesses in the communities that we serve for more than 150 years. We operate a network of hundreds of convenient branch locations, with nearly 30 in our Mid-Atlantic Region, which covers Maryland, northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. Throughout our multi-state footprint, we provide customers with traditional banking services, commercial banking, wealth management, insurance, private banking and other innovative solutions like a comprehensive suite of online and mobile banking tools. These financial solutions are delivered by local employees with local decision-making and personal service.
 
How do your services/solutions help finance executives?
 
As a diversified financial services provider, we have a comprehensive range of solutions, deep expertise and strong networks to empower growth and success for our clients. FNB is there every step of the way to assist clients with their financial needs, whether they are focused on growing their capital and customer base, managing risk or taking care of their employees and vendors.
 
Many of our clients are companies that have been passed down through generations. The team we have in place in the Baltimore market is comprised of local, experienced bankers who live in the area, understand the needs of its consumers and businesses and are empowered to make decisions based on that unique perspective. Our clients can be confident that we understand the challenges and opportunities that they face and that we are ready to work with them to achieve their goals.
 
Why does your company sponsor FEI Baltimore Chapter?
 
We believe that our communities become stronger places when we all work together. Our sponsorship of FEI adds value for FNB by creating opportunities for us to grow our network and build new connections with local businesses, which in turn enables us to better serve our clients. By doing our part to foster a healthy business community, we create greater opportunities for everyone who calls our region home.  
 
In what ways is your company giving back to the Baltimore community?
 
At FNB, we care deeply about giving back to our communities. During the pandemic, our team rallied to support our customers and communities, delivering access to essential financial services, relief programs and aid. Through 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, we have processed approximately $3.6 billion in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, providing businesses throughout our footprint with relief that saved hundreds of thousands of jobs.
 
Locally, FNB’s efforts during the pandemic have built on long-standing relationships with organizations and initiatives such as the United Way, the Hunger Project and Anne Arundel Medical Center’s Denim and Diamonds event. From financial support to employee volunteerism, we strive to be actively engaged with the projects, organizations and decisions that shape the regions where we do business.
 
What is one thing you wish people knew about your company?
 
We have been consistently recognized throughout our footprint for our unique culture, winning more than 65 Greenwich Associates Excellence and Best Brand Awards and more than 30 honors as an employer of choice during the past decade. In Baltimore, we have been named among the Baltimore Business Journal’s Best Places to Work finalists for four consecutive years.
