About Impact at FNBO:
Impact by FNBO is the bedrock that guides our community investments and key business functions in a manner that addresses our communities’ most pressing needs.

It’s a rallying call for everyone - individuals, customers, employees, and community partners alike - to act now and join us in making positive impacts in their communities. Just as every individual has the right to work toward their goals and achieve financial wellness, every individual has a responsibility to do their part in helping others succeed. Because acting today will make positive impacts for tomorrow.
