Our 120th Anniversary F&M Trust has served Central Pennsylvania for 120 years, growing from its 1906 founding into the largest locally owned and managed community bank headquartered in Franklin County. Established by local business and civic leaders to expand financial services, the bank opened its first office in 1906 and moved its headquarters to 20 South Main Street in 1918. It endured the Stock Market Crash and Great Depression, later becoming one of the first banks to join the FDIC in 1933. Through the decades, F&M Trust has led with innovation—launching an employee retirement fund in 1952, opening Franklin County’s first drive‑up window, expanding community offices through the 1950s–70s, installing ATMs in 1983, forming its holding company in 1987, and entering Cumberland County and the Capital Region in 1996. Growth continued with the 2006 acquisition of Fulton County National Bank, a Nasdaq listing in 2019, and new offices in Harrisburg, Hagerstown, and Dauphin County. In 2022, the bank opened its 67,000‑square‑foot corporate headquarters on Nitterhouse Drive. F&M Trust has embraced digital banking, launching online services in 2001, a mobile app in 2012, and the region’s first .BANK website in 2018. The bank remains deeply community‑focused, contributing thousands of volunteer hours and more than $500,000 annually to local organizations. Leadership credits the bank’s success to innovation, dedicated employees, and its ongoing commitment to customers and community. ...Show more

More than 250 employees of F&M Trust recently spent an afternoon in Carlisle assembling “Comfort Buddies” for first responders to assist children in need. During the event, F&M Trust employees assembled and decorated more than 300 plush animals. Each “Comfort Buddy” was outfitted with a custom-designed t-shirt featuring a personalized inspirational message, crafted to offer encouragement and comfort. The completed Comfort Buddies will be donated to several local police and fire departments, including the Waynesboro Police Department, Chambersburg Fire and Police Departments, Carlisle Police Department, West Shore Regional Police Department, Lower Paxton Police Department, Hampden Township Police Department, and Swatara Police Department. These donations aim to support first responders in their efforts to assist children facing difficult circumstances, providing them with a tangible source of comfort during challenging times. This event marked the bank’s annual observance of Banktoberfest, which since its inception in 2016, has emphasized team building, exceeding expectations and community service. Previous events included projects that contributed to environmental conservation efforts, benefiting area food pantries, providing essentials for local at-risk veterans and supporting youth foster care agencies. F&M Trust partnered with Impact 4 Good, an organization that specializes in charitable team-building activities, to facilitate the event. ...Show more
