"Our commitment to the Indianapolis market continues to grow," Michael Kubacki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented. "We opened a loan production office in Indianapolis in 2006, and a regional headquarters at 96th and Meridian streets in late 2011. Since then we have experienced strong response to our community-oriented, relationship-based approach with both our commercial and retail clients."
"The strength and size of our balance sheet, combined with the positive attributes of a community bank puts us in a unique position," said David Findlay, President and Chief Financial Officer. "Jason Stewart, our office manager in Fishers, and his team are well situated to get to know our clients. That enables us to offer solutions that are based on individual needs. This approach has served us well during our 140-year history in the Northern Indiana markets and is clearly proving to be effective in Indianapolis."
