Powerlist – Jim Reames – Market President – First Federal Bank
IBR Staff//July 22, 2024//
As a kid, Jim Reames knew he was destined to become a banker. He remembers working at his mother’s jewelry store where she approved credit and terms for customers buying diamond rings.
He asked to review the credit reports so he could understand it. Eventually, he was integral in reviewing credit and selling jewelry, always with the mission to become a banker.
Today, Reames believes that banking, if done right, is the most influential voice in the ear of a customer to create financial wellbeing.
“We are the health coach in the financial sector,” he explained.
As the market president for First Federal Bank, Reames loves to partner with people to create wealth and help people achieve financial health.
Reames shared, “The greatest accomplishment I have had is building a team of banking professionals who share my vision of financial wellbeing, a steadfast commitment to their customers, and the ability to help others build financial freedom through good banking and budgeting practices.”
In the last four years in his role at the Meridian location, Reames has been part of increasing its asset size by nearly $300 million.
Looking at the future of his career, Reames is laser-focused on becoming the best in the market at every possible level.
“To be the best is a bold statement and a harder goal to reach, however the path becomes brighter through commitment, determination and not allowing a ‘less than’ mentality to creep in,” he said.
