When First Federal Bank of Florida first acquired The Bank of Bonifay back in May of 2010, the new owners initially elected to keep the old name in part out of respect for the institution’s heritage; The Bank of Bonifay was the first chartered bank in the state.
First Federal has now reversed that decision, however, citing the need to bring the Bank of Bonifay properties under the one brand name for operational reasons.
The official transition from The Bank of Bonifay to First Federal Bank of Florida will be complete on Feb . 1. This transition will take place at The Bank of Bonifay branches in Bonifay, Marianna and Chipley.
No action related to the name change is required of The Bank of Bonifay customers, but they may contact their local branch to receive a list of updated information.
They will begin to see the logo and name change throughout February. Email addresses and phone extensions for employees will be changing as well.
Founded in 1962, First Federal has 18 branches located in Amelia Island, Bonifay, Bradenton, Chipley, Dowling Park, Jasper, Lake City, Live Oak, Macclenny, Marianna, Mayo, Sarasota and Yulee, Florida.
