FNBT Customers

Welcome! If you are joining us through the merger with FNBT, there is no need to open a new account. Your existing account will automatically transition to a Bank First account in May.

If you would still like to open a Bank First account before then, please note that in-person transactions at FNBT offices will not be available until May 18, 2026. However, you'll still have access to Bank First's convenient digital banking services.

Existing Bank First Customers

Simply log in to digital banking and select "Open an Account" from the menu to begin your application for checking, savings, money markets, or CDs.

Not registered for digital banking? Sign up today, and once registered, select "Open an Account" from the menu. (Register for Digital Banking)
