Named a Top Workplace by Albuquerque Journal 7 Years in a Row!
The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by research partner Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools.

NEW! Text and Email Fraud Alerts

{beginAccordion}
Details
Exciting News!
We’re rolling out an UPGRADE to how we notify you of potential debit card fraud—making it faster, easier, and more convenient for you to respond.
Starting June 16th, if suspicious activity is detected on your debit card, you will no longer need to wait for a phone call from our Fraud Department. Instead, you’ll receive a text message with the transaction details and a simple prompt to reply YES or NO.
- If you respond YES (the transaction is authorized), your card will be automatically unblocked and ready for use again.
- If you respond NO (the transaction is not authorized), your card will stay blocked, and you’ll need to contact us to close the card and have a new one issued.
Important: These texts will never ask for personal details like your account number, card number,PIN, multi-factor authentication (MFA) code, or any other sensitive information. These texts will never have a link, and we will never ask for you to click on a link. If you receive a message requesting this, it is not from First Financial—please hang up or delete it immediately.
If you do not respond to the text within 5 minutes, we will send you an email. If there is no response to the email within another 5 minutes, we’ll follow up with a phone call to ensure you’re protected.
Our goal is to keep your account, identity, and funds safe—while giving you a quicker, more user-friendly experience.
We hope you find this upgrade helpful and reassuring!
