Working Side-by-Side

PIONEER STEEL & PIPE | WACO, TX
Steel production is John Embry’s (left) family business. For him it’s more than just work—it’s his legacy. John’s banker, Joe Barrow, understands this and uses that knowledge to serve both the business and the Embry family.
Pioneer Steel & Pipe | Waco, TX

Family-forged success

The relationships we grow become partnerships. That’s why when we say we’re invested in our community’s future and working to help you succeed, we mean it.

For second-generation owner John Embry, that’s meant support and encouragement as well as capital and cash flow for Pioneer Steel & Pipe. It’s meant finer details that turned into more and larger deliveries, part of what Joe Barrow helps hammer out every day.

SLOW RISE SLICE HOUSE | WACO, TX

Key ingredient

Brett Swartz knows a great meal comes from great ingredients. When it comes to running his world-class pizza shop, Slow-Rise Slice House, one of Brett’s key ingredients is his relationship with The First National Bank of Central Texas.

We help businesses like Slow-Rise by taking time to understand the unique challenges you face to help you make the most of every opportunity. We take pride in listening to you, learning how you do what you do, and finding the best ways to support your business as you grow.
