PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 31, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FirstBank, one of the nation’s largest privately held banks with a focus on “banking for good,” will celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month with its annual “Fiesta Friday” campaign during the month of September. A tradition the bank plans to continue despite the pandemic's impact on communities across the country.
FirstBank has partnered with What A Sub to provide one free small sub to customers every Friday in September, including September 4, 11, 18, and 25. To participate and receive the free item, customers must mention “FirstBank’s Fiesta Friday” when ordering in person or over the phone.
“We are excited to feature a local Hispanic-owned restaurant during our Fiesta Friday events,” said Joel Johnson, Market President at FirstBank. “We encourage everyone to partake in our annual Hispanic Heritage celebration, and embrace the diversity that strengthens our business community.”
In 2018, FirstBank launched its full-service Spanish Banking Center at its Goodyear branch, along with other Spanish and Asian Banking Centers, where customers can receive banking services in their native or preferred language, ranging from Spanish, Ethiopian dialects to Vietnamese and more. The bank also maintains an inclusive board of directors that reflects the diversity of both its employees and customers. Nearly 40 percent of the bank’s employee population represent different races, ethnicities, military statuses and abilities.
