Our History

On November 12, 1946 — shortly after the end of World War II — a group of local businessmen in Quincy, Illinois, joined forces to establish a new bank on the city’s northside: Broadway National Bank.

In 1956, Broadway National Bank obtained trust powers and established a trust department. In 1988, Broadway National Bank became known as First Bankers Trust Company, N.A. In doing so, the trust department began expanding its geographic reach to provide services, for the first time, to those outside the local community. As a result, the company’s list of available services also grew to include Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and Employee Benefit Services such as 401(k), 403(b), and nonqualified plans.

In 2004, the company separated from the bank. It became First Bankers Trust Services, Inc.—a wholly owned subsidiary of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. (the bank's parent company). With this milestone came another expansion of Personal Trust Services, including wealth management and a highly specialized Farm Services Group, which provided farm management and appraisal services.

After 15 years as a subsidiary, First Bankers Trust Services spun off from First Bankers Trustshares on July 1, 2019, to operate as an independent company. With the transition came a new corporate brand and name: TI-TRUST, Inc.
