About Us

First American Bank is a privately owned financial services organization, serving several communities across Iowa, and in Lee and Collier counties in southwest Florida.

First American Bank specializes in business banking. The bank offers an array of financial services to meet the needs of businesses that require simple or sophisticated commercial solutions. From small business checking to commercial lending and treasury management services, the bank can provide the capacity and expertise that businesses of all sizes need to thrive.

First American Bank offers cutting edge banking solutions, but with a focus on building relationships. We view business differently.

In addition to banking products and expertise, most First American Bank locations offer First American Wealth Management Group services---financial consulting, investment management, employee benefits, trust, mortgage origination, and property/casualty insurance services.

In Iowa, First American Bank was chartered in 1934, and is today among the largest privately owned banks in the state.  First American Bank expanded into southwest Florida in 2006 with the acquisition of Pelican National Bank of Naples, Florida. In addition to Naples, First American Bank has banking offices in Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, Ft. Myers Beach, and Bonita Springs.

Stark Bank Group, Ltd. is the holding company for First American Bank, and controls assets of approximately $1.6 billion.
