I’m pleased to say we’re off to another solid start this year, similar to how we started 2017. Loans have been steady and as the economy continues to improve and rates continue to climb, we hope to see an uptick in loan volume. Even though, as a Bankers’ Bank, we’re different than community banks,


in some ways we are also similar. One way we are similar is our focus on deposit gatherings. As consolidation continues, this focus for deposits becomes more and more important as our number of customers continues to shrink. Therefore, we continue to look for ways to increase the deposits of our existing customer base. MIB Banc Services, LLC, our audit subsidiary, remains busy and active, and


has added new customers this year. Our securities firm is keeping busy as well. First Bankers’ Banc Securities, Inc. has developed some new tools and services to help companies in the areas of investment strategy and portfolio accounting, regulatory compliance and policy change recommendations, asset/liability reporting, interest rate risk, and capital planning. As we continue to improve our service offerings, we are also building our team. We’ve hired a few new sales people and I’m pleased to welcome Steve Thompson, Joe Crifasi and Chris Cronin to our St. Louis office and Luke Polen to our Kansas City office, and most recently, Ed Krei, our asset/liability specialist and strategic advisor. Heading into summer, I look forward to seeing everyone at some of the


upcoming events. We’re gearing up for conference season and will be hosting our community banking conferences in Kansas City and West Des Moines in August. We have a great agenda lined up with professional speakers and discussions on hot banking topics. We want to provide the tools you need to grow your bank and your community. These conferences serve as one of those opportunities, so we hope you’ll make it out. This is also the first time we’ll be hosting the conference in Iowa, so we’re excited about that. If we don’t see you at these events, you can count on our relationship managers to be out making visits to continue building on the relationships we’ve built over the years. We know that banks like yours are the cornerstone


of your community. Just as you hope to be the first call for help from your customers, we hope you’ll reach for the phone and contact us when you’re in need. We want to serve as that one source, one call, as your main reference.
