“Everyone at First Hope was very professional and easy to work with. Communication was clear and responses were fast.”

— Andrew A.

— Austin Schiano, Mama’s Cafe Baci

“It is so important to me that everyone know this bank is actually helping the community and local small businesses. I want to give credit where credit is due, my business Island Dragway is forced closed by COVID-19. I applied for the Paycheck Protection Plan as soon as it was available and have heard horror stories from friends using big-name banks. First Hope Bank was on top of everything, in constant communication, and always treated my business as a priority without blowing me off for a ‘bigger fish.’ Thanks to them I can pay my full-time employees and our health insurance for eight more weeks.”

— Melissa M., Island Dragway
