Bank customers focus on making sure their deposits are with a financial institution that is protecting their assets. We are pleased to report that First Federal Bank has tremendous financial strength and is one of the strongest financial institutions in the Midwest.  The main factors that make First Federal Bank’s reputation for strength and security are as follows:

1) First Federal Bank is Extremely Well-Capitalized

First Federal Bank's Capital Level as of June 30, 2009

First Federal Bank is the envy of many banks during these uncertain economic times.  A measurement of the strength that a financial institution offers is the amount of capital it possesses.  First Federal Bank has nearly $57 Million in capital. 

First Federal Bank has grown to be the largest mutually owned bank in Missouri and currently has approximately $400 Million in assets.  Bank regulators consider a bank the size of First Federal Bank “adequately” capitalized if its capital account was at least 4% of assets ($16 Million) and “well capitalized” at 5% ($20 Million). 

First Federal Bank’s capital position is at 14% ($56 Million) and places it among the strongest and best capitalized banks in the Midwest.

 

Currently some banks in the Kansas City area are promoting their safety and soundness with capital levels of 7%.  First Federal Bank’s capital position is nearly twice as strong as those institutions promoting their capital levels.

Since 1934 First Federal Bank has focused on building a strong and secure bank for its customers, which makes its capital position emerge as a rare “bright spot” among local banks.

2) Your Deposits are FDIC-Insured

No one has ever lost a penny in FDIC-insured deposits. Legislation that was signed into law on May, 22, 2009 has temporarily increased FDIC insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013.

Also, First Federal Bank is participating in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program. Funds held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are insured in-full through 6/30/2010. Coverage is in addition to and separate from coverage available under the FDIC’s general deposit insurance rules.
