About Us

Our Story

After years of banking experience with community and regional banks in Franklin and Coffee Counties, our senior management team was convinced they could offer customers a better alternative by combining technology and convenience with the personal service and attention of a community bank - then go the extra mile by offering outstanding products and services to benefit every customer.

As a testament to the level of local support and interest, more than 900 subscribers, the majority being residents of Franklin and Coffee counties, along with community and business leaders, invested $16 million in stock to open our doors on November 28, 2005.

Our Tagline

Our tagline "Imagine. Achieve." expresses our desire to help you achieve whatever financial goals you can imagine. Think about your financial dreams. Let your imagination run wild for a moment. Does retiring at age 50 sound perfect? Maybe you can't wait to take your first drive in a new car. What about a brand new kitchen or even a brand new home? Do you see your child graduating from college without any student loan debt? Ready to start a business, or maybe a family is on your mind? Whatever your goals are, they are important to us.

At First Vision Bank, we have created a place were you can imagine the best for your finances; a place where we will help you achieve those dreams. When it comes to your financial success, we are not afraid to roll up our sleeves and to do the work that it takes to make your priorities a reality.
