The bank is located off SR 13 in / Syracuse. First Federal provides extended services to the Syracuse area

A full service facility, First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash, Syracuse Branch, has offered extended services to Syracuse area customers for 10 years through its Syracuse branch on SR 13S in the village. “We try to give quick, friendly service while offering the customers added services — such as mortgage and automobile loans,” commented Dick Conroy, branch manager. Conroy brought a strong insurance background to the Syracuse branch, having been in banking insurance for 12 years previous to accepting the post in December of 1985. That background has helped the bank to its reputation for its competitive savings and mortgage rates. “We sell mortgages on the secondary market, attempting to keep rates and closing rates low,” Conroy said. Due to the rapid growth of the consumer loan department, mortgage loan business and other services, the Syracuse office added teller space, two new offices, and external remodeling to the building nearly four

years ago and that growth hasn’t stopped, according to Conroy. “What we’re most proud of is the institution’s ability to stay committed to being an independent lender while other banks get caught up into mergers and the like,” Conroy remarked, adding, “We’ve also been able to continue giving good service and competitive rates to those same customers we’ve strived to please for years. ” Nev customers are also continually finding ( heir way to the Syracuse office doors, as they begin to find, after shopping around, that lArst Federal’s rates are better than most. Faith Calhoon serves as the assistant loan manager, while Connie Amick, head teller, helps to round out the able-bodied staff. Wir tir hours for the Syracuse branch are 9 a.in. to 4 p.m., Monday through Wednesdays (with the drive-up window open until 5 p.m.). Also, 9 a.m. to 12 noon, Thursdays; 9 a.m. tb 5 p.m., Fridays; and 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays.
