The First National Bank In Trinidad

The First National Bank In Trinidad, the First National Bank in Trinidad opened its doors on April 16, 1875, a year before Colorado was granted its statehood and the town of Trinidad incorporated. First National began a journey traveling and growing with the nation, the West, and Trinidad through the best and worst of times. Founded by local businessman and community leader, Frederick D. Wight, the bank began on the Santa Fe Trail with pioneers who blazed their way to the untamed West. It has ventured into the 21st century with a spirit not unlike the early pioneers.

The bank building, constructed in 1892, was designed by the architectural firm, Bulger and Rapp, and soon became a focal point in the downtown business district. It has since become an icon for the institution known today.

Those who have worked at The First National Bank over the years reflect a dedication to service and excellence, which has allowed the bank to be the strong institution needed to serve its community. The current caretakers, as well as those who have gone before them, are really only just passing through. It is the institution they have built, The First National Bank in Trinidad, which endures.

Since 1986, it has been a tradition for the bank to publish a Collector’s Series Calendar, which covers various topics of history from the area. These calendars have become a collectible item within the community and are eagerly anticipated each year. They have won numerous awards from Business in the Arts, Pikes Peak Advertising Federation, Colorado Business Committee for the Arts, The City of Trinidad, and the Trinidad Historical Society. First National prides itself in doing its small part in preserving the history of the area in an artistic fashion. Each year the calendar has a new theme and features either historic photographs or original artwork by local artists.

First National continues to strive to be a true “community” bank with customer service as its number one priority. The quarterly newsletter that they publish features area businesses, school vacation schedules, and a community schedule of events from the three-county area in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. It, too, is well received by local residents. First National sponsors multiple events throughout the year in support of area schools, needy families, senior citizens, children and veterans.

Along with their hands-on customer service approach, they also offer the latest in banking services and technology. It’s what they like to call ‘High Tech-High Touch’ banking. First National’s commitment to strength and stability is the direct result of conservative values and responsible management. With five “brick and mortar” locations and eight ATM locations in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, they strive to offer convenient service with a friendly smile. The First National Bank in Trinidad is a Member FDIC and equal housing lender.

 

Code of Ethics

Republic Trinidad Corporation & Subsidiaries

Houston, Texas

Code of Ethics Policy
General Policy Statement

We, the Board of Directors of Republic Trinidad Corporation (“Corporation”), adopt this Code of Ethics Policy to guide the directors, officers, and employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries regarding the ethical standards that we expect these individuals to follow in their personal and business conduct. It is our intent to conduct our business according to the highest ethical standards to merit the complete confidence and trust of our customers, stockholders and the general public. The Corporation’s directors, officers, and employees must assume responsibility for their personal and business conduct so that it does not harm the Corporation’s reputation as a responsible financial services organization. Any deviation from or violation of the Code of Ethics shall be immediately disclosed to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who shall report same to the Board of Directors.

Ethics Policy Requirements

Ethics Policy Statement of Purpose This code of ethics and the standards within are adopted to promote:
– Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships.
– Full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in the periodic reports required to be filed by the company.
– Compliance with applicable governmental rules and regulations.

Independence of the Audit Committee

A majority of the company and its subsidiary’s audit committee shall be independent directors. Members will be barred from accepting any consulting, advisory or compensatory fee from the corporation or any subsidiary, other than in the member’s capacity as a member of the board or any board committee.

Compliance with Laws and Regulations

We expect the directors, officers, and employees (collectively referred to as “Insiders”) of the Corporation and its subsidiaries to fully comply with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations. We expect the Corporation’s insiders to use good judgment and high ethical standards in their personal and business conduct. In addition, we expect those individuals to never willfully engage in illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct.

Policy Administration

Each insider is responsible for being familiar with the Code of Ethics. Executive officers shall be responsible for appropriately advising the Corporation’s employees about the requirements of the Code of Ethics and monitoring subordinate staff for compliance.

Executive officers are responsible for implementing the Code of Ethics and taking appropriate corrective action where necessary. Any officer or employee violating provisions of the Code of Ethics may be dismissed from employment. Any director violating the provisions of this Code of Ethics may be subject to removal by the other directors and/or the stockholders.

Conflicts of Interest

Policy

A conflict of interest is defined as an insider’s involvement in outside businesses, which might either conflict with the insider’s duty to the Corporation or adversely affect the individual’s judgment in the performance of his or her responsibilities. Our policy prohibits corporate insiders from engaging in relationships and/or personal conduct that will conflict with the interests of the Corporation. In addition, we believe it is important to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest since this may damage the Corporation’s reputation.

Acceptance of Gifts

Insiders and their immediate family shall not solicit, accept, or retain a personal benefit from:
– Any Bank customer,
– Any individual or organization doing or seeking to do business with the Bank, or holding company

A personal benefit shall include any type of gift, gratuity, favor, service, loan, legacy (except from a relative), fee, compensation, or anything of significant monetary value.

Certain exceptions to this general rule may be acceptable if there is not, and there appears not to be, a reasonable likelihood of improper influence on the insider’s performance of his or her duties for the Corporation. The personal benefit may not exceed the value of the following:
– Normal business courtesies, such as a meal or entertainment, involving no more than ordinary amenities;
– Non-cash gifts of nominal value such as those received at holiday time or special occasions that represent expressions of friendship;
– Gifts based upon kinship, marriage, or social relationships entirely beyond and apart from any business relationship;
– Unsolicited advertising and promotional material of nominal value; and
– Awards given by charitable, educational, civic, or religious organizations for meritorious contributions or service.

Any insider receiving a personal benefit, other than for the exceptions listed above, must report the benefit to our holding company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) or other appropriate official as provided in the “Reporting Requirements” section of this Policy.

We recognize that federal law makes it a crime for any insider of a federally insured bank or bank holding company to ask, solicit, accept, receive, or agree to receive anything of value from anyone as part of any business transaction with the Bank. The Bank Bribery Act requires that the insider have a corrupt intent for this to be considered a crime. We also acknowledge that the penalty for violating this law is a fine, or imprisonment, or both. Any improper payment should be immediately reported to the holding company’s CEO or other appropriate official.

Political Contributions

The Bank is prohibited from making a contribution or expenditure in any federal or state election. We prohibit any insider from making any direct or indirect contribution of Bank funds or other Bank property for the election of any candidate for any political office. This prohibition includes the use of our Bank’s corporate facilities and equipment for any political activity.

The Bank may make a loan to a candidate for political office or a political action committee if the loan is made in the ordinary course of business and complies with the Bank’s Loan Policy.

An insider may participate in political activities as an individual, but not as a representative of the Bank. To avoid any misunderstanding, the insider may not use the Bank’s name or address in any political advertisement or campaign literature. Insiders may make personal contributions to candidates or political action committees as they so desire.

Civic and Charitable Activities

Insiders may participate in non-profit social, civic, or philanthropic activities. Each insider should notify the holding company’s CEO or other appropriate official if the insider must obtain prior approval to represent the Bank as part of these activities.

Outside Employment

We discourage Bank Officers from holding outside employment. A written request to the Bank’s CEO for prior approval is required in those cases where the officer believes it is justified. The CEO may not approve any outside employment or activity that might:
– Subject the Bank to criticism,
– Encroach upon regular working hours,
– Interfere with regular duties, or
– Necessitate such long hours that it affects the individual’s productivity.

Any other financial institution, except the holding company, may not employ the bank officers or employees. The CEO may not have any outside employment, except that he or she may also work for the holding company.

Personal Finances

Insiders should conduct their financial affairs in a manner that is above criticism. Insiders and their immediate families should borrow only from reputable organizations that regularly lend money. In addition, the insider’s borrowings must be based on the prevailing interest rate and not involve any type of preferential treatment. Bank executive officers who borrow from another bank or financial institution must report their indebtedness to the Bank within ten (10) days. For this purpose, Bank executive officers are only those policy-making officers specifically appointed by the Board. Bank officers and employees are not permitted to borrow money from their co-workers and should discuss any financial emergency with the CEO. Insiders may borrow money from relatives without restriction.

Bank officers and employees should not sign on customer’s accounts, act as deputy or co-renter of customer’s safe deposit boxes, or otherwise represent customers, except when the customer is related to the employee by blood or marriage.

Personal Investment Activity

Insiders may not engage in any investment transactions which create, or give the appearance of creating, a conflict of interest between the insider and the Bank or between the Bank and any customer. We do not believe it is possible to specifically list all of the possible conflicts of interest. However, we require that the following specific situations be avoided:
– Buying securities of a customer, supplier, borrower, or competitor since it may be construed as affecting the insider’s judgment that is exercised on the Bank’s behalf;
– Permitting a customer to arrange investments for the account of the insider or his or her immediate family;
– Investing in customer-sponsored businesses under circumstances that might create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict; and making investments that parallel or anticipate investment action by the Bank.

Any Bank Insider who has a margin account with a broker or dealer in securities or commodities must report that information to the Bank’s CEO or other appropriate official.

Purchases of Bank Assets

Bank insiders, whether acting individually or in a fiduciary capacity, are not permitted to sell or purchase assets to or from the Bank or any estate being administered by the Bank without obtaining prior approval of the Bank’s CEO or other appropriate official. The bank insider is not required to obtain prior approval for any assets that the Bank is selling at a public sale or auction. However, Bank Insiders are prohibited from purchasing repossessed or foreclosed property from the bank.

Lending Practices

The Bank’s lending officers must use prudent lending guidelines as detailed in the Bank’s Loan Policy in making loans to Bank customers. The lending officer must justify any interest rate concessions based on the borrower’s creditworthiness and overall business relationship with the Bank.

Lending officers may not make credit recommendations for:
– Members of their families,
– Any individual or organization to which the officer or employee or his or her immediate family is indebted, or
– Any organization, which the insider or his or her immediate family is associated or hold a material financial interest.

Bank insiders may not grant any loan or gratuity to any federal or state bank examiner or employee working for the Bank’s auditing firm.

Loans to Directors and Executive Officers

All Loans to Insiders must comply with Regulation O and the Loans to Insiders Policy.

Advising Customers

Bank officers and employees must exercise care in discussing transactions with customers since the Bank may not practice law or give legal or tax advice. Consequently, Bank officers and employees must not say anything that may be interpreted as legal or tax advice.

Bank officers and employees must recommend several qualified sources if a customer asks about professional services, including attorneys, accountants, insurance agent, etc. We prohibit Bank officers and employees from specifically recommending anyone or any firm when a customer asks for advice regarding professional services. Rather, we believe the better practice is to provide the customer with a list of qualified sources from which to choose.

Borrowing from Customers

Insiders may not borrow from or extend credit to any customer or supplier of the Bank unless the customer or supplier is a recognized lending institution. Insiders should not cosign, endorse, or otherwise assume liability for the borrowings of any customer or prospective customer, except when the customer is related by blood or marriage.

Serving as an Individual Fiduciary

Bank officers and employees must request prior approval from the Bank’s CEO or other appropriate official before accepting appointment as a fiduciary or a co-fiduciary for a customer’s account. The only exception to this rule is that a Bank officer or employee may serve as a fiduciary for a member of his or her immediate family without obtaining prior approval of the CEO or other appropriate official. A Bank officer or employee may not receive a fee for acting as a co-fiduciary with the Bank unless specific prior approval is received.

Confidentiality

We believe that it is essential to safeguard the confidential nature of customer financial information to our Bank’s reputation and the trust of the general public.

Customer Information

The First National Bank in Trinidad will be in compliance with GLBA (Graham-Leach-Bliley Act). Our policy is that customer confidential information acquired by any insider as a result of his or her activities on the Bank’s behalf must be held in the strictest confidence. The insider may only use this information for Bank-related purposes and not for personal gain. An insider may only release information regarding a customer to private persons, organizations, or governmental bodies with the customer’s written consent or appropriate legal process, such as a subpoena or court order. Insiders may not discuss confidential customer information with anyone outside the Bank. In addition, insiders may only discuss confidential customer information with insiders that have a legitimate business need to know. The Bank’s CEO or other appropriate official is responsible for reviewing any request for such information, including subpoenas and court orders.

Information Regarding the Holding Company

Insiders may not release financial or other information regarding the Bank or Corporation to any outside person or organization unless it has been made available to the public through authorized news releases or regulatory reports. Insiders must refer all news media inquiries to the holding company’s CEO or other appropriate official.

Miscellaneous Guidelines

Dealings with Competitors

Insiders must observe fair and ethical conduct in dealing with our competitors. We believe that it is inappropriate and unethical for our insiders to make disparaging remarks concerning our competitors. Our strategy is to emphasize the quality and competence of our directors, officers and employees in soliciting new customers. In addition, insiders are prohibited from working with competitors to set or control interest rates, prices, or marketing policies.

Exclusive Dealings

We do not require that a customer purchase other services from our Bank or prohibit the customer from dealing with our competitors as a condition to obtaining a loan or other banking services from our Bank.

Dealings with Auditors

Directors, officers and employees are required to fully cooperate with the internal auditing staff or any external auditing firms. We expect our directors, officers and employees to honestly and openly answer all questions asked by the auditors. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from destroying any documents that may be necessary for any investigation by a federal or state governmental agency, or the auditors. In addition, directors, officers and employees may not destroy any document that is required to be kept under the Bank’s Record Retention Schedule.

Influence on External Auditors Prohibited

No officer or director, or any other person acting under their direction, shall take any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead any independent public or certified accountant performing an audit of the company’s financial statements, for the purpose of rendering such financial statements materially misleading. Any individual violating this policy shall be terminated from employment with the company or removed from the Board and may also be subject to fines and/or punishment under federal law.

Falsification of Books and Records

Our policy is to create records and accounts that accurately reflect the institution’s financial condition. Any officer or employee falsifying any books, records, or documents of the institution shall be dismissed from employment and prosecution recommended accordingly.

Outside Directorships

Officers and employees must obtain prior approval from the holding company’s CEO before accepting any offer to be a director of an outside corporation. These restrictions, however, do not apply to corporations that are closely held by the officer’s or employee’s family or involve a non-profit social, civic, religious, or philanthropic institution.

Business Opportunity Rightfully Belonging to the Holding Company

An insider must not take an opportunity, which rightfully belongs to the Corporation or its subsidiaries. The opportunity rightfully belongs to the Corporation or its subsidiaries in any case where the Corporation or its subsidiaries have been seeking a particular business opportunity. Insiders may not divert these rightful business opportunities to themselves or to others.

Prior Approval of Speeches and Statements

The CEO or other appropriate official must approve in advance any public statements, speeches, or interviews made on behalf of the Corporation or its subsidiaries.

Reporting Requirements

Insiders must use good judgment in deciding which corporate official to ask for prior approval or give required reports.
