Employee Spotlight

Meet Di’Mond, Danielle and Derek. There is no I in TEAM. Our Branches exemplify the sentiment! Our branch employees constantly work together even though they are spread from one corner of our city to the other. We are fortunate that they know the job they must perform, and they do it with knowledge, smiles and charm.

Meet Tamika, Ashley & Liz. Here’s to OUR Branch staff! Our busy branches continue to stay quick on their feet, providing great customer service to our many different families of customers, the new customer who requires a little more hand holding as well as our more seasoned customer.

Meet Cileen, Nicole, Denise, Aryana, Shaolanda & Donna. We appreciate ALL YOU DO! Not only do our branches provide customer service, they’re also sometimes part of our party planning sessions, hosting community meetings and being extras on television commercials. What an amazing staff!

WHAT DO OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US?

First Independence Bank gave me my first mortgage during a time when it was nearly impossible to get a condo loan in Detroit. The bank decided to invest in me and the city. I served on my condo board, I’m active in my neighborhood and I help out my neighbors. I live in a true community and First Independence Bank made that possible.

Sarah Craft

White Construction receives great and personalized service at First Independence Bank (they know us). Additionally, they have a very competitive banking product as compared to other banks. Lastly, I am personally happy to bank at and support a Black Owned Bank in an effort to get more support in communities that may not be served as well by larger institutions.

Bernard White

First Independence financed the purchase of our 31000 sq. ft. headquarters building. This New Center Area building represents the future of our company, and I am grateful to First Independence. Their team was supportive throughout, and the experience has been affirming. As a black female business owner, the opportunity to work with a Detroit based black bank was very meaningful to me.
