Farmers Bank & Trust Switches From .Com To .Bank Domain

November 8, 2015 by Michael Berkens

Farmers Bank & Trust which has branches in Arkansas and Texas and approximately $1.2 billion in assets has changed its domain name from .com to a .bank

Farmers Bank which was using myfbtbank.com at it’s website has switched to  myfarmers.bank.

At this time, visitors can still access the Farmers Bank & Trust website through the old web address, myfbtbank.com.

The bank encourages frequent visitors to change their bookmarks to the new, more secure myfarmers.bank to optimize secure banking.

Farmers Bank & Trust is a 109 year old community bank owned by the privately held holding company, Magnolia Banking Corporation, headquartered in Magnolia Arkansas.

    myfbtbank.com was a lousy domain. So this looks like an upgrade from where I’m sitting.

    Unfortunately they don’t own MyFarmersBank.com, which may be a problem.

      Not having FarmersBank.com is a problem. Not having MyFarmersBank.com is just ridiculous. Unfortunately these companies don’t understand how much traffic they’re going to lose out on, and hopefully that traffic doesn’t end up being used for fraud.

    myfbtbank.com was only registered in 2013. I wonder how good or bad the one before it was. A 109 year old bank had to have a presence before 2013.

    How odd! Their name is “Farmer Bank & Trust” and they choose MyFarmers.bank

    Their name isn’t “My Farmer Bank & Trust”. Where does the “My” come from?? Seems such a clumsy choice. Why not “Your” or, maybe a little better, “The”, or indeed none of them.

    They preferably should have had FarmersBank.com or Farmers.bank. Also not sure if FBTBank.com is them or another bank. Is it in use?

    However FarmersBank.com has already gone (couldn’t they have bought it?) and Farmers.bank is reserved by the Registry as a common community name.

    Time will tell if they have made a good choice and if they have jumped too early.

      They could have tried to buy FBaT.com – but maybe they didn’t have enough money.

      FBandT.com is a live website of a First Bank & Trust.

    Good for English regions but here in Canada Québec, we would need both .Bank and .Banque.

    Let’s hope that this move will translate to better online security for farmers.
