First GREEN Bank, which opened in February 2009, was organized by experienced banking executives and business leaders in Central Florida. Ken LaRoe is the founder of First GREEN Bank and wants to change the way America does business. By promoting green building and sustainability through our bank, we can help other businesses realize the value in doing the same, and we hope to motivate them to expand their focus to include environmentally responsible goals. Our approach to the community and the Earth are what set us apart from other banks. While we are a traditional customer-driven community bank providing personalized service, localized decision-making and extended banking hours, First GREEN Bank is the first bank of its kind to promote positive environmental and social responsibility while providing for increased profits for investors and clients. First GREEN Bank promotes environmental responsibility and green building by offering lower interest rates for commercial projects that meet green building certification defined by the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. Gold and platinum certified projects qualify for the lowest interest rates in order to motivate commercial developers to build green while at the same time making it possible to realize increased profits. First GREEN Bank is headquartered in Orlando with branches also in Winter Park, Mount Dora, Clermont, Ormond Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Altamonte Springs.
