President's Message
Thank you for visiting the Fidelity Bank website. I hope you find the site useful, informative and easy to use and that you use it often. Fidelity Bank opened on September 9, 2003 with 11 employees and one Wichita Falls location. Our primary consideration has always been to provide excellent personal service and take care of our customers’ banking needs! We initially opened our doors with $8 million in capital and no loans or deposits. Thanks to you – our customer -- on December 31, 2009 total assets were in excess of $215 million and capital has grown to over $18 million, and we have 40 employees.
From the beginning, we have been able to offer financial services that are comparable with other banks in the North Texas region. In 2005, we expanded our operations, opening a new branch in Burkburnett; and in 2006, we opened our Downtown Wichita Falls branch. In both instances, we opened with long-time, experienced bankers. We are fortunate to have Jack Aaron, Randy Aaron and Danny Cremeens at our Burkburnett branch, and Linda Holbrook and Patsy Betts at the Downtown branch. We are always looking for ways to provide better service to our customers and will continue to add and improve financial products and services.
In order to have a good business, we believe you have to have great employees. We are fortunate to have the best group of bankers in the state! One of the bank’s unique strengths is the 180 local owners of the bank. We are proud of our local ownership and also proud that we “act local” in our community donations and involvement. We’re not just community bankers, we’re community leaders and you will find bank employees, bank directors and bank owners involved in almost any charitable or civic organization in this area. Fidelity Bank is financially strong, and we are committed to helping our local communities grow. We want you to know that when you bank with Fidelity, your money stays right here, funding business and personal loans that help strengthen our local economy.
If you are already our customer – thank you! If you are not our customer, we want your business. You can access us online, by telephone, in our lobbies or we can come to your business and visit. I look forward to seeing you soon.

President and CEO
