First International Bank & Trust
Rooted in Family. Growing with Sioux Falls.
A Legacy that Lives First
The Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce is proud to highlight our Leader Members, recognizing their exceptional commitment to advancing the business community and fostering growth throughout the Sioux Falls area. These members are consistently informed and actively engaged in addressing key issues that promote pro-business public policy while cultivating connections with other community leaders. They are vital supporters of the Chamber’s mission, contributing their expertise, resources and leadership to help achieve shared goals that strengthen the local economy.
Since 1910, First International Bank & Trust (FIBT) has been more than a financial institution – we’ve been a family-owned partner to the communities we serve. Founded in Arnegard, North Dakota as Farmers State Bank, we’ve grown through generations of leadership, weathered economic storms, and remained committed to the people who make our communities thrive.
Unlike other banks, our story is deeply personal. We’re proud to be led by the fourth generation of the Stenehjem family, whose values of integrity, innovation, and service continue to shape our culture. While others have come and gone, we’ve stood strong – continuing to invest in the future of North Dakota.
Sioux Falls Roots, Local Impact.
In Sioux Falls, we’re more than a branch – we’re your neighbors. Our team supports local nonprofits, sponsors community events, and volunteers time to causes that matter. We believe banking should feel like home, and that starts with knowing your name, your goals, and your story.
Whether you’re buying your first home, launching a business, or building your financial foundation, we offer personalized solutions backed by over a century of experience. Our mortgage programs, business services, and easy-to-use checking and savings tools are designed to help you grow with confidence.
Banking With Heart, Backed by History.
While other community banks have made their mark, FIBT offers something uniquely enduring: a legacy of family-driven leadership, a commitment to community-first banking, and a history that spans 115 years. We don’t just serve Sioux Falls – we’ve been a part of its journey since 1910. And we’re proud to continue to serve for many years to come.
