The Leadership of First Federal
A Message from the President
We do banking on a first-name basis with a knowledgeable and friendly staff who understand our customers’ financial needs. From this perspective, responsible decision-making on the local level, while carefully evaluating the risks, is what defines our standard business practice.
It’s the Communities We’re a Part of That Make Us Who We Are
Still a traditional savings and loan, First Federal offers outstanding service and competitive rates for individuals choosing to invest in savings accounts, checking accounts, and certificates of deposit.
First Federal adheres to conservative loan underwriting standards and does not engage in subprime lending. As a result, the Association’s loan portfolio is of the highest quality.
Though faces have changed, the philosophies embedded by our founder remain in place. His successor, Marilyn Shaw, shared Mr. Elberg’s vision and ran the institution in much the same way. Our current CEO, Paul W. Simmons, continues with the same philosophy of serving our customers and community for the long term.
In July of 2022, headquarters and the San Rafael branch moved to 998 Fourth Street in San Rafael. There are three other convenient Bay Area branch locations to serve you. We may be small, but we still have an unwavering dedication to make a difference in our community.
