SEARCY -- First Security Bank has announced plans to join the Hot Springs community, bringing its number of locations statewide to 75. This month, it opened a loan production office in the city with construction of a new, full-service banking center projected to open in early 2016.
Scott Dews has been named president of the Hot Springs market. The loan production office is located at 1635 Higdon Ferry Road, Suite A, in the Higdon Center. Dews began his career in banking in 2004 in Little Rock and served the last four years as vice president of First Security Bank in Bryant.
"We're invested in communities all across our home state, and we are excited about our future in Hot Springs," says Reynie Rutledge, First Security Bancorp chairman/CEO. "We know Arkansas, and we are looking forward to getting to know Hot Springs even better by becoming a part of this great community."
First Security is in the process of securing land for a main banking center. Details will be announced when that is finalized.
