“It’s been said a million times before, but honestly, it is the people at First Security Bank that is key to having them as a valuable business partner. We deal with the staff on a daily basis with our auto, home, flood, commercial insurance, and our personal banking. They help our business succeed.”

“First Security and Dumont Telephone Company share the same philosophy about how important the rural areas of Iowa are. First Security’s confidence in us provided the opportunity to extend fiber optic cable to every home and business (both town and rural) in the service areas of Dumont and Allison. They are a key component to us evolving from the original 1902 traditional landline telephone company to a broadband company operating a state of the art network to provide voice, video and data services, which connects all customers to a world of endless opportunities.”

— Roger Kregel, Dumont Telephone Co., Dumont

“Having banked with First Security for 20 years, it was an obvious choice to partner with them on our expansion. In 2011, we saw a need to add two new service bays and lifts that allow us to serve vehicles as large as transit buses and motor homes. The First Security staff made our expansion dream a reality. You ‘AUTO’ give them a try!”

— Steve & Sara Robel, Quality Auto Service, Charles City

“Our bank in Riceville loaned us the money for feeder cattle when we started farming in 1981. From that beginning, a quality 33-year relationship developed with the First Security Bank organization. The capital required for farming in general, and cattle feeding specifically, has increased tremendously. First Security has been a reliable and professional source of funding for our business and personal needs.”

— Bob & Jayne Noble, Jarad Ltd., Riceville
