First National renovation starts today
There will be dust and a bit more noise around the First National Bank’s Bluffton office beginning today (Sept. 5) but it will be worth it in the end. The branch will undergo a renovation for the next 60 days.
Once the construction is complete the branch will include more offices, a conference room and updated decor. FNB will also be introducing cash recyclers to assist the staff in quickly accepting and dispensing cash all while storing it securely between transactions.
The ATM will also be relocated to the inside drive thru lane closest to the building. The Bluffton office will remain open normal business hours and customers will still be able to complete their daily banking.
“We are happy about the opportunity to renovate our Bluffton office,” said Todd Mason, president and CEO of First National Bank.
“We really want to make sure that our offices allow our customers ease and convenience when they stop in to do their banking and everything we have planned for the remodel does just that.
"The branch’s renovation furthers our mission of improving lives through community banking and solidifies our commitment to the Bluffton community. The renovation of the Bluffton Branch will be a great way to end 2018 and lead into 2019 when First National Bank will celebrate its 100th anniversary.”
The bank has five offices in Pandora, Bluffton, Ottawa and two in Findlay.
