Freedom First is a member-owned, federally insured community financial institution headquartered in Roanoke, VA since its founding in 1956. What sets us apart is that our shareholders are our members — which means that we put our community first. In fact, while most banks evaluate their worth by how much money they keep, at Freedom First, we measure our value by how much we give back. This purpose drives our day-to-day operations at all levels of the organization. We believe that investing in the advancement, education, livelihood, and well-being of our team members is a key to our shared success and future growth. Our mission is "Helping People Prosper — Helping Communities Thrive," which we carry out by meeting the credit and savings needs of all consumers in our community, from persons of modest means and credit challenges to those with accumulated wealth and business enterprises.
