First National Bank of Middle Tennessee to open first location in Williamson County in the Merdian Development
First National Bank of Middle Tennessee has announced that it will soon be opening its first full-service location in Williamson County. This expansion will add another vibrant community to the list of counties served by the Bank.
“We are looking forward to being part of the Williamson County market and serve the community the same way we have served our other markets and communities since 1874,” Pieter Van Vuuren, the Bank’s president and CEO, said in a press release. “Our board of directors believes that we have the right people to be successful in this expansion.
“We know that we have to prove ourselves in any new market; however, our Bank has been serving communities for 149 years and we believe strongly that what our Bank has to offer will be very well accepted by the Williamson County community.”
The Bank started its expansion in 2011 into Murfreesboro and then opened offices in Shelbyville and Nashville thereafter.
“Our board of directors and employees are squarely focused on helping our customers and serving our markets,” Van Vuuren said. “We believe in investing in our communities and that these investments will pay off exponentially if we stay true to being community bankers.
“Our goal is always to have experienced and professional staff that are the difference makers when competing for business. Our Bank has the same service to offer as other banks and we must ensure that our service level is beyond comparison.”
First National Bank of Middle Tennessee was established in 1874 in McMinnville and has witnessed many turbulent economic conditions, including the Great Depression, two World Wars, and the Great Recession while steadily growing its asset to $856 million as of Sept. 30, 2023. The Bank is currently the third oldest bank in Tennessee and currently has offices in McMinnville, Murfreesboro, Nashville and Shelbyville.
The Bank’s first full-service location in Williamson County will be located at 1175 Meridian Blvd., Suite 114, in Franklin and has an estimated opening date of 3rd quarter 2024. Meanwhile, the Bank will continue to serve the county from its Nashville office.
