Community banking is not just a category. It is a commitment.

It means knowing your name, not just your account number. It means your neighbors are making decisions about your loan—not a call center two states away. It means showing up for local businesses, local families, and local futures.

At First Independent Bank of Aurora, community is not a tagline. It is the reason we are here.

Lost your wallet on a float trip? Left your card at the lake? It happens—and we are here to help when it does.

If you have lost your debit card, here is what to do: call us right away to freeze your account and report the card. Be sure to monitor your account activity for anything unfamiliar.

If it happens after hours or on the weekend, call Debit Card Customer Service at 844.202.5333. They are available when we are not.

You do not have to figure it out alone. That is what community banking is for.
