December 2^nd, 2019— In order to better serve its customers, First Community Bank and Trust has announced its adoption of a new domain—www.firstcbt.bank —for its website. This transition will take place on Wednesday, December 4th. www.firstcbt.bank is a new, internet domain that adds additional layers of security. It is an easily identifiable channel for trusted communications between banks and their customers. 

Since the ‘.bank’ environment is exclusive to the banking industry, it provides a level of security unmatched in traditional internet environments. The strict controls in place mitigate cyber security risk and allow First Community Bank and Trust to better protect its customers. First Community Bank and Trust would like its customers to take the following actions in regards to this change:

• Look for the .bank in the URL address bar
• Update your www.firstcbt.com bookmarks to www.firstcbt.bank on all your devices
• Make sure you see a green bar in the URL area when .bank is present. That means it is a secure website
• Read the information provided on our webpage to get an understanding of the great new security features .bank offers
