“Working with the First Fed Maritime Banking Team has been a great experience. They know the fishing industry and made everything easy—from refinancing our boat and permit loans to setting up deposit accounts. The loan funds helped us upgrade our refrigeration system and purchase an additional permit. First Fed is flexible, efficient, and truly understands how our business runs.”
