First National has been at the heart of Northfield since 1872. By our count, that’s 139 Christmases, and counting.

Beginning January 1, 2012, paper savings bonds will no longer be sold at banks. All bond purchases will have to be made online through the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s website. Paper bonds are still valid and will earn interest 30 years from the issue date or until they’re redeemed. You can continue to cash savings bonds at First National.

If you have any questions or would like help purchasing a savings bond online, please speak with a First National teller or customer service representative.

First National Bank of Northfield announced today the addition of Mark Moors to its Board of Directors. Moors, a Northfield resident, most recently held the position of president/owner of Moors Capital Management. He retired in 2010 having served as an independent investment advisor to dozens of clients in the area. He’ll join the seven-member First National board, which provides strategic direction to advance the organization’s mission to provide top-notch, relationship-based banking solutions.

Moors, who will officially begin his duties at the November 18 meeting, will bring with him a career’s worth of banking and financial expertise. His responsibilities steadily grew from a position as a commercial banking officer to a district president for Wells Fargo Bank’s south suburban district of Minneapolis, where he managed 15 banks with $1.5 billion in deposits and 350 employees. His tenure includes seven years as president of Wells Fargo Bank in Northfield. More »
