What’s Next For First Home Bank? A New Name.

Who is BayFirst?

First Home Bank is changing its name to BayFirst, a name that more clearly defines who we are and what we stand for. Though what we call ourselves will change, we are still an independent Tampa Bay area community bank based in St. Petersburg, and our promise to you is stronger than ever.

So, while we’ll continue to support small business owners and homebuyers across the country, we will remain focused on making a difference in our own community and in the lives of those we serve.

We are excited for what’s next but know you must have questions. We’re here to answer them and as always, we’re here for what’s next when it comes to your banking needs.

 

What else is changing and what do I need to do?

  • Your accounts will not change.
  • You can still access online banking using your current username and password
  • Your banking app will automatically update.
  • Your local banking center will remain open during normal banking hours.
  • You will not need to order checks or a new debit or credit card.

Why BayFirst?

BayFirst is Here For What’s Next®. For over 20 years, we’ve been rooted in the Tampa Bay area and our new name allows us to further dedicate ourselves to the growth and prosperity of our community and the residents and businesses that call it home.
