Night Deposit

First Bank and Trust branches have a night depository on the exterior of each branch to enable clients to make deposits during or after normal business hours.  The night depository is emptied before the posted cut-off time.  All deposits placed in the depository before the cut-off time will be processed the same business day.  Deposits made after the cut-off time will be processed on the next business day.

Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit allows you to have funds automatically deposited into your account at no charge.  Using direct deposit will save you time, reduce your trips to the Bank and is more secure than waiting for a check to come in the mail.

You can set up direct deposit for payroll, Social Security or other government benefits. You may have these funds directly deposited into your checking, savings, or money market account.
