First American Bank was founded in Artesia in 1903 and is one of the oldest and the largest independent community bank in New Mexico. Our specialty is business lending for oil and gas, agriculture, and real estate. We offer a full suite of treasury management solutions, home loans, trust and wealth management services, and robust digital banking for personal and business customers. We are an SBA Preferred Lender and certified FSA Preferred Lender.
We have been banking at FA for about 15 years and we’ve had nothing but good customer service and have had no issues with them. Today I opened a small business checking account and the young lady that helped us was terrific. She got my account set up with no problems.

Excellent service and these folks keep their word! For commercial banking, I highly recommend Jarod and his assistant Yvonne at First American on Bender in Hobbs! Great place and great folks.
