Our team has been alerted of a recent fraudulent text message impersonating The First Bank and prompting customers to click on a link to stop payment of an unauthorized transaction. Please keep in mind all legitimate fraud alerts from The First come from a specific short code rather than a 10-digit phone number, and they never contain links. If you receive this message, report the message as “junk” and block the phone number. If you believe you are a victim of this smishing campaign due to entering your online banking credentials when prompted, please contact our customer care team by calling 1-855-257-2265.
