FNB Bank is proud to announce the addition of a second branch in Murray-Calloway County.  FNB’s new banking facility will be located at 611 South 12^th Street and will add an extra level of convenience for customers on the opposite side of town from our existing Murray Office, located at 1445 Lowes Drive.

“We are excited about our southside office in Murray for many reasons,” stated Marty Nichols, FNB President & CEO.  “We are not only adding an extra location and convenience for our customers; we are revitalizing an existing building that was vacant in Murray’s South Business District.”

Murray’s South Business District has undergone many structural updates as of late that is giving new life and charm to the area.  “The area is filled with great local businesses that have a lot to offer the community,” added Nichols.  “We are glad to be a part of that revitalization movement and are proud to make an investment in Murray’s southside.”

The new banking facility will be FNB’s first concept branch.  “Our new office will feature a modern look and our ‘Start Something Today’ brand will be the focal theme utilized throughout the office,” stated Sally Hopkins, FNB COO.  The new office will offer new modern banking amenities, such as a self-serve kiosk and image deposit-taking ATM.  All the while, the new office will still offer traditional banking services and delivery channels to appeal to all customers bases.

The grand opening of FNB’s new Murray South office is projected to open late summer.  A ribbon cutting and grand opening event will be announced as construction plans are finalized.

May 21, 2019 (Mayfield, KY) FNB Bank proudly presented a $13,750 grant to the Murray-Calloway County Habitat for Humanity’s 15^th family, which will be paid in installments over five years.  The grant was awarded through the Affordable Housing Program by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB Cincinnati) and was made possible by FNB’s sponsorship.

The grant was a joint effort for both FNB and the Murray Calloway County Habitat for Humanity.  Carolyn Todd, FNB Office Manager and President of the Murray Calloway County Habitat for Humanity saw the opportunity for the partnership in 2017.  “We (Habitat board members) attended a training session sponsored by Habitat of Kentucky in the Fall of 2017.   A Federal Home Loan Bank representative spoke at the event about the grant opportunities available through bank partnerships.  For me, it was a natural fit.  This was Habitat’s first attempt at a grant since 2000 and we were excited about the opportunity.”

FHLB sets aside 10 percent of net earnings annually to be used as subsidies to finance development of affordable housing, with those funds made available only through financial institutions that are members of FHLB.  At that point, FNB saw an opportunity and gladly took on the sponsorship role, being a member of the FHLB.

“FNB is proud to partner with FHLB and Habitat for Humanity to assist in providing this family an affordable home that will meet the family need.  A permanent home for a family can be life changing. We were honored to assist with this project and hope to partner again with Habitat for Humanity to sponsor a grant when available,” stated FNB Chief Operating Officer, Sally Hopkins.

The grant money was put towards the construction of an energy efficient home and was specifically designed for a moderate-income first-time home buyer family with special circumstances. The original funding announcement presentation took place on February 8, 2017, with funding subject to construction completion as specified within the grant.

Construction on the 3-bedroom, 2 bath home began in May 2017 and the family moved in on August 2018.  Lead contractor, Steve Arant, worked with several area contractors throughout the construction phase. Many area churches, along with the local contractors, were instrumental in donating their time and skills for the project.

FNB Bank donated $2,600 to the Family Resource Centers of Murray Independent Schools and Calloway County Schools as a result of the bank’s 2018 philanthropic efforts in Murray-Calloway County.  The Resource Centers for both schools work to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed by identifying unmet needs affecting children and families and mobilizing available resources to help meet those needs. They also organize programs and provide services in such areas as job/career counseling, parenting, youth enrichment and childcare.

“We are honored to be able to fundraise and volunteer year after year for the family resource centers at both school systems,” stated Ashley Gibson, FNB Mortgage Loan Officer. “What they do for the families in our community is truly inspiring.”

FNB employees coordinated and participated in numerous fundraising events benefiting the Family Resource Centers throughout 2018, including various jean days and an April Cookout.  In addition, FNB employees from the Murray Office assisted with serving meals during the Summer Feeding in the Park program, provided a “personal” shopper for new school clothes at the First Loves Murray event and helped to stuff backpacks in preparation for the Back to School Blast. Employees also volunteered to support the Murray Tiger and Calloway Laker Christmas programs via donating time and gifts to the causes. Christmas tree tags from both schools were also available at FNB’s Murray Office; these tags provided support to local families in Murray-Calloway County that needed assistance during the holiday season.
