LAKEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks with a focus on “banking for good,” announced continued growth in assets, deposits and income as part of its 2022 second quarter summary on the company’s holding and activities.

At the end of June, the bank’s total assets climbed to $28.7 billion, up 7 percent from the same period in 2021. Total deposits were $26.9 billion, exceeding last year’s second quarter total by 10.4 percent, and net income rose by 14.2 percent to $163.1 million.
