We’re Idaho’s Only Mutual Bank, Here’s Why That Matters
As a mutual bank, we’re owned by our depositors —not shareholders or investors. That means our customers and communities always come first. There are no outside pressures or competing agendas. Instead, we reinvest back into the operations of First Federal, the products and services offered, and the locations we serve. This approach – the First Fed Difference - helps improve the lives of our customers and strengthens our communities. Here, customers truly matter because it is their bank.
First Federal is also proud to be deeply rooted in our communities, supporting Idaho through meaningful partnerships with local schools, colleges, nonprofits, small businesses, and countless community organizations. As the State’s only mutual bank, our commitment isn’t just financial—it’s personal. We invest in people, drive growth, and show up when it matters most.
Founded in 1915 in Twin Falls, Idaho as a building and loan association – established to help solve a housing shortage in the Magic Valley – First Fed continues its storied legacy of serving the needs of the community and those that call it home. From our board of directors to our entire banking team, we are driven, dedicated, and engaged in our mission to enhance the financial well-being of customers.
Because First Federal is a mutual bank, we are able to offer a wide array of competitive products and services, allowing us to assist customers in every stage in life. From opening their first savings account, buying a home, starting a business, or planning for retirement, First Fed bankers guide customers every step of the way. For us it is not just completing a transaction, it’s about helping each person reach their financial dreams.
At First Federal, we don’t just believe in Idaho, we are Idaho. We are a bank built on trust, shaped by community, and driven by a purpose that has remained unchanged for over a century. Experience the First Fed Difference to see why we are Idaho’s Community Bank of Choice.
