FBT Bank & Mortgage is a mortgage lender in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, that also operates as a full-service community bank serving southeast Arkansas. The Pine Bluff branch is one of five full-service locations, with others in Fordyce, Rison, Watson Chapel, and White Hall, plus a loan processing office.

The institution holds a rating of 5.00 based on five reviews.

The bank was chartered in 1931 under the name Fordyce Bank & Trust and has operated for more than 90 years under the FBT Bank & Mortgage name, which was adopted as the institution expanded beyond Fordyce into the surrounding region. Personal banking products include the Simple Advantage Personal Checking account, which features unlimited bill pay, free credit monitoring, and an instant issue debit card. Digital services include a mobile app for Android and iPhone, online banking with bill pay, and the "I Manage My $" budgeting tool. The bank also offers direct deposit, ATM access, safe deposit boxes, and electronic check reorder. Deposit accounts are FDIC-insured.

The Pine Bluff location sits on South Main Street, a short walk from the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas and its Art Works arts center, both within a block of the branch. The Pine Bluff Jefferson County Public Library is about a tenth of a mile away, and Simmons Bank Park is just beyond that.

With more than 90 years of service to southeast Arkansas and a five-star rating from its customers, FBT Bank & Mortgage is among the longest-operating community banks in the Pine Bluff area.
