EXTON, PA — First Resource Bank, a subsidiary of First Resource Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: FRSB), has been named Best Bank in Chester County for the ninth consecutive year by readers of the Daily Local News, extending a streak that underscores its foothold as one of the region’s most trusted community banks.
The award follows two additional 2025 honors: Best Places to Work from the Philadelphia Business Journal and Best Bank on the Main Line as voted by Main Line Times readers. Together, the recognitions highlight the bank’s dual focus on customer service and employee engagement — two pillars increasingly viewed as competitive differentiators in community banking.
President, CEO and Co-Founder Lauren Ranalli said the consistent praise reflects the team’s commitment to delivering value across all stakeholders, from customers and employees to shareholders and community partners. She said the bank remains focused on expanding service quality while maintaining deep local ties.
First Resource Bank differentiates itself with customer-oriented products, including a range of free banking options aimed at helping depositors keep more of their earnings. The bank has also reinforced its community presence through financial contributions and volunteerism. In 2025, it provided more than $500,000 to local schools, civic groups and small businesses, while employees contributed hundreds of volunteer hours to regional initiatives.
Locally owned and operated, First Resource Bank serves businesses, professionals and individuals throughout the Delaware Valley, offering deposit and lending products tailored to small businesses and consumers. Its model emphasizes personalized service and competitive pricing, targeting long-term growth while preserving its community-banking identity.
The bank’s string of accolades comes amid rising competition across the regional banking sector, where institutions are working to strengthen customer loyalty and expand service offerings. First Resource Bank’s continued recognition signals strong support from its local customer base — support it aims to retain as it pursues further growth across Chester County and surrounding markets.
