Who we are
It’s in our Nature is the core principle that permeates our DNA, shapes our collective identity, defines our intentions and underlies our values.
First National’s values
It’s in our nature.
At First National, we express our values actionably. Each value statement begins with “we”. These are deep-seated beliefs, clear intentions, and consistent behaviours that we all invest in, enliven and live every single day.
We strive for better.
For us, growth, development and owning your career start with owning each and every decision you make.
We earn trust.
Relationships and reputation mean everything to us. Through honesty, transparency and consistency, we build credibility and deliver peace of mind.
We encourage autonomy.
Encouraging diverse perspectives, ideas and voices is the basis for how we do business. But it also extends to how we support each other as a team and build community.
We emphasize accountability.
We recognise the urgency of every moment. Rigour, process and setting realistic expectations underlie how we deliver service reliably and consistently.
