Our story

In 1934, at the height of the Great Depression, Samuel A. Green founded First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Philadelphia in South Philly, around his Mother’s kitchen table. It became Firstrust Bank in 1987.

His cornerstone was a commitment to community and the foundation was family values.

He was a leader in every sense of the word and began Firstrust’s tradition of empowering others to success as they strove to better themselves, their families and the communities in which they lived.

In 1970, Daniel B. Green became President and CEO of the bank. Richard J. Green, the grandson of founder Samuel A. Green, became President and CEO in 1995, and currently serves as the Executive Chairman of the Board and Owner of Firstrust.
