It's 1908. Einstein proposes his quantum theory. We start a bank.
It was in 1908 that we helped start a small business. It just happened to be our own. Around that time, a small group of investors interested in promoting savings and home ownership in Seymour, Indiana founded the New Building and Loan Association with capital of $300,000. Valuing small business ethics, we've grown our business by respecting our customers and employees, committing ourselves to serving our communities and sticking to sound banking management principles.
From the very first day, Indiana Bank & Trust Company has been progressive in the banking products and services it offers. We were one of the first banks in our community to offer checking accounts, credit cards, brokerage, telephone banking, check images and online banking. And we'll be the last to treat a customer like an account number.
Our milestones mark a century of growth.
