Winston Score History

The full picture

First Northern Community Bancorp is a small regional bank holding company based in Woodland, California. It operates through its subsidiary, First Northern Bank, which offers everyday banking services like checking and savings accounts, loans, and mortgages. The bank mainly serves individuals, small businesses, and farmers in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding Northern California communities.

The company makes money the traditional banking way — it takes in deposits and earns interest by lending that money out as business loans, home loans, and agricultural loans. It operates entirely in Northern California, making it a community-focused institution with deep local roots but limited geographic diversification. With a market cap of around $300 million, it is a small bank competing against much larger regional and national banks, which is a constant pressure on its ability to attract deposits and grow its loan book. Rising interest rates and credit quality in its local loan portfolio remain key risks to watch.
