The bank has deep roots in Fort Smith, including its historic downtown headquarters, and a culture where long employee tenure and community involvement are part of its identity.

Through Cetera Financial Institutions, FNB is seeking an experienced, relationship-driven Financial Advisor who wants to build and grow a wealth management practice within this established banking environment.
