Driven by a higher purpose, financial institution First United Bank strives to provide its clients more than a safe space to store funds and perform transactions: The bank aims to inspire and empower others to spend life wisely, using its four-pronged approach centered on faith, financial wellbeing, health, and personal growth. These core pillars help First United Bank meet its clients where they are at in their unique path to success, as well as embolden them to treasure their faith, be intentional with their spending and savings, invest in spiritual, mental, and physical wellness, and enrich their minds. First United has a vision to elevate more than 10 million lives by 2030, guided by values of extending love and making impact.
The bank’s continued mentorship of employees and clients to “spend life wisely” has already helped to build flourishing communities. First United has given more than $1.4 million in philanthropic contributions and donated more than 3,500 volunteer hours. Each year, First United hosts its annual United Acts of Kindness event on February 17, and millions of people come together to change the world—one random act of kindness at a time. The event strives to spark a kindness revolution by uniting people across the globe as they spread joy, hope, and love to friends, family, and coworkers. In 2022, First United, in partnership with community stakeholders, surpassed its goal of 100,000 random acts of kindness, logging more than three times the target.
