First International Bank

First International Bank (Liberia) Limited, commonly identified as First International Bank or FIB, is a commercial bank serving customers in Liberia. The bank is headquartered in Monrovia and operates a branch network that extends beyond the capital into several counties. Its known locations include the main branch on Broad Street in Monrovia, branches in Paynesville, Clara Town, Duala, Sinkor, Buchanan, Ganta, and Greenville, as well as additional money-transfer outlets in parts of Monrovia and its suburbs. A branch presence in Nimba County is also associated with the institution. The bank's business scope includes conventional commercial-banking services, with particular emphasis on lending. Its stated loan activities cover financing for fixed assets, equipment purchases, working capital, acquisitions, and business expansion. This indicates a focus on supporting both operating businesses and investment activity rather than serving only individual retail customers. The institution's provincial locations also suggest an effort to provide banking access outside Monrovia, including in commercial centers such as Buchanan, Ganta, and Greenville. First International Bank is also associated with MoneyGram outlets, allowing customers to access remittance-related services through locations in Logan Town, Wroto Town, Duport Road, and Bardnersville Junction. These outlets complement the bank's branch network and reflect the importance of domestic and international money transfers in Liberia's financial-services market. Publicly available reference material identifies the bank as a leading financial-services provider in Liberia but provides limited information about its founding, ownership, management, financial performance, digital products, or corporate structure. No reliable public information in the supplied materials establishes a founding date, founder, parent company, listed status, or official website. The institution should therefore be understood primarily as a Liberia-focused commercial banking brand with a Monrovia headquarters, provincial branches, business-lending capabilities, and remittance-service outlets.

First International Bank (Liberia) Limited is a Liberian commercial bank whose publicly described operations are centered on Monrovia and a network of branches in other Liberian communities. The available reference material does not establish when the bank was founded, who founded it, or how its ownership and management have changed over time. Its history can therefore be documented mainly through its operating footprint and stated service mix. The institution's principal base is in Monrovia, Liberia's commercial and administrative center. Its main branch is located on Broad Street. The bank has also been associated with branches in Paynesville, Clara Town, Duala, and Sinkor, extending its coverage across important urban and suburban communities in the Monrovia area. Outside the capital region, locations identified in reference material include Buchanan, Ganta, and Greenville. A presence in Nimba County is also noted, although the supplied material does not provide a complete chronology for that operation. The bank's commercial role includes lending for fixed assets, equipment purchases, working capital, acquisitions, and business expansion. These products position it as a provider of financing for enterprises requiring funds for operations, capital investment, or growth. The available descriptions do not provide detailed terms, eligibility requirements, loan volumes, interest rates, or performance data. First International Bank has also operated or been associated with MoneyGram outlets at several locations, including Logan Town Junction, Wroto Town, Duport Road, and Bardnersville Junction. The presence of these outlets indicates that remittances and money transfers form an additional part of the bank's customer-service footprint. Together, its branches and outlets give the institution a presence in both traditional banking and transfer services. No reliable information in the supplied sources documents major rebranding events, acquisitions, mergers, product generations, leadership transitions, regulatory disputes, or financial results. Further research using Liberian banking-regulator records, official corporate disclosures, and archived bank materials would be required to produce a more detailed institutional history.
