Our Response to COVID-19

Timely updates regarding our operations

By: First International Bank & Trust 

We’ve said many times, our success depends on the success of our communities and neighbors, because ultimately if they are healthy and thriving, so are we. Those words carry even more weight now, as many of our clients and community members deal with a worldwide health crisis. As shut-downs and cancellations grind daily life to a halt for some, we remain committed to fulfilling your personal and business banking needs.

However, it is with your health and well-being in mind that we have taken action to limit in-person interaction and help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in those communities where the threat is greatest.

Updated 9/29/2020 6:30 pm 

At our Williston Cash Wise (300 W 11th St.) location service is available via drive-up or by appointment at this time. Call ahead for lobby availability.

Walk-ins now accepted at all other offices. Click here for the location nearest you.

We will continue to monitor the situation in our communities and update this page as necessary.

In-person Meetings

If your insurance or banking needs are better served through an in-person meeting, please contact your local banker/agent or call your nearest FIBT location or First International Insurance location to schedule an appointment.

For the safety of our employees and our customers, we will limit in-person meetings when possible. Instead, we may ask to visit with you through the phone and/or video technology to conduct meetings, per the recommended social distancing recommendations.

Drive-up & Night Depository

Our drive-up facilities will remain open regular business hours to accept deposits/transactions. To familiarize yourself with the drive-up hours for the branch nearest you, please click here.

If you drop off a deposit or payment throughout the day and have concerns about when it is applied to your account/loan, please contact your local branch for accommodations.
