About TI-TRUST Video Transcript
Brian Ippensen: TI Trust stands for true integrity. One of the core values that we had for our staff was integrity.
Larry Shepherd: And we take that to a heart as an organization. And everything that we do.
Rick Edwards: Is important. When you're working with people that they trust you.
Dawn Goestenkors: We want to be seen as a very integrity-driven company.
Larry Shepherd: It's about what's in the best interest of the client, not what's in the best interest of TI Trust or the employees. It's all based on what's in the best interest of the clients.
Brian Ippensen: True Integrity Trust inc seemed to fit what we were doing.
Larry Shepherd: We have a deep history. We've been doing trust services as an organization since the 1950s. We've worked with many families through multi-generations. Most of our senior trust officers have 20-plus years of experience and education, which is very unique in our industry and provides many services to our clients having that kind of background.
Brian Ippensen: Again, the tradition goes back 63 years when we took on our first trust client. And along the way we've grown the organization, and certainly been a large part of this community, and a large part of other communities. So that tradition, we want to continue and carry on into our business.
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 in order to provide services, for the first time, to those outside of 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 and became First Bankers Trust Services, Inc.—a wholly owned subsidiary of First Bankers Trustshares, Inc. (also the parent company of the bank). 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 its own independent company. With the transition came a new corporate brand and a new corporate name: TI-TRUST, Inc.
