ABOUT US:

• FCB Banks has been family owned and managed for more than three generations. Our original banks opened in New Baden and Albers in 1901 and customers quickly associated FCB with quality service, competitive rates, and personal customer care. These qualities became the pillars of our business when First Collinsville Bank opened in 1990 and we began expanding throughout the area. We streamlined and simplified banking operations and officially changed our name to FCB Banks in 2017.
  
  Today we have seventeen locations in sixteen wonderful towns serving customers in Illinois and Missouri. We pride ourselves on being locally owned and operated as well as a valued part of the community.
