    myfbtbank.com was a lousy domain. So this looks like an upgrade from where I’m sitting.

    Unfortunately they don’t own MyFarmersBank.com, which may be a problem.

      Not having FarmersBank.com is a problem. Not having MyFarmersBank.com is just ridiculous. Unfortunately these companies don’t understand how much traffic they’re going to lose out on, and hopefully that traffic doesn’t end up being used for fraud.

    myfbtbank.com was only registered in 2013. I wonder how good or bad the one before it was. A 109 year old bank had to have a presence before 2013.

    How odd! Their name is “Farmer Bank & Trust” and they choose MyFarmers.bank

    Their name isn’t “My Farmer Bank & Trust”. Where does the “My” come from?? Seems such a clumsy choice. Why not “Your” or, maybe a little better, “The”, or indeed none of them.

    They preferably should have had FarmersBank.com or Farmers.bank. Also not sure if FBTBank.com is them or another bank. Is it in use?

    However FarmersBank.com has already gone (couldn’t they have bought it?) and Farmers.bank is reserved by the Registry as a common community name.

    Time will tell if they have made a good choice and if they have jumped too early.
