History

In Central Indiana, we live in close-knit communities where relationships are built on trust. We trust the people who teach our children, protect our hometowns, and care for us when we’re sick—because they’re our friends and neighbors.

At First National Bank, we work every day to earn that same level of trust. We’re not a large financial institution headquartered somewhere far away and run by people you’ll never meet. We’re a community bank—owned, operated, and supported by your friends and neighbors.

We want what’s best for you, because that’s what’s best for all of us. That belief has guided us since the day we opened our doors in 1913.

At the time, First National Bank was little more than a fireproof safe protecting our first customers’ life savings. Over the years, we’ve grown and evolved—always looking for better ways to serve our towns and our neighbors. Today, we offer a wide range of high‑value deposit accounts designed to help Central Indiana families manage their money more effectively and grow their savings with confidence.
 
Our history is built on helping families like yours.
 
We’ve expanded our services to include low‑cost loans that make homeownership, vehicle purchases, education, and other family needs more affordable. And we’ve never stopped focusing on convenience.
 

Over time, we’ve grown to seven locations—so you can spend less time driving and more time doing what matters most. As early as 1971, we introduced drive‑through banking long before it became common elsewhere. More recently, we’ve invested in secure, cutting‑edge technology that allows you to bank anytime, anywhere—on your computer or mobile device.

Our commitment to community extends beyond banking. First National Bank proudly supports local schools, funds scholarships for deserving students, and contributes to community organizations throughout Central Indiana. Through the generosity and dedication of our employees, we also volunteer our time to support local events and worthwhile causes.

So what does the future hold? While no one can say exactly how technology will continue to shape banking, you can be certain we’ll stay ahead—offering the latest innovations while keeping your accounts safe and secure.

One thing, however, will never change: our commitment to our communities. We promise to continue doing everything we can to make Central Indiana a better place to live and work—and to earn your trust every single day.

That commitment has been our formula for success for more than 100 years, and there’s no reason to change it now.
