First United Bank & Trust has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the American Bankers Association (ABA) Foundation’s Community Commitment Awards, earning finalist status in two categories: Financial Education and Supporting Military Families for its innovative My Finture® Financial Education.
The ABA Foundation’s annual awards celebrate banks that demonstrate exceptional dedication to strengthening their communities across seven categories, including affordable housing, financial education, volunteerism, and supporting military families. Winners and honorees were recognized during the ABA Annual Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Selections were made by an independent panel of national experts who evaluated submissions from banks across the country. Criteria included creativity, impact, and measurable success.
