Old National Bank
What Makes A Bank Stay For Long Years?
Offering quality products and services and maintaining excellent customer relations are just among the key ingredients for a successful bank to stay for centuries. Banks exist for the people and the community it serves and a customer-oriented approach is one of the best strategies in running a business. This is what Old National Bank has proven on its almost 200 years of service in the banking industry.
Old National Bank started as a community development bank in Indiana, which is located in the midwestern region of the United States. But after acing its way in community banking, the bank has now grown as a multi-state financial institution. Why not? A bank founded in the principles of community banking can master the art of addressing and resolving the needs of its customers at the same time help develop the community on where it is located without putting the financial status of the bank at stake. It can even be more challenging since community banks cater to small and medium-earners that have great financial needs. So the challenge of balancing funds for lending and income from depositors and loan repayments would really hone and develop the bank to go for a big time operation.
Although it took the bank over 100 years before it could go for a bigger operation, Old National Bank has truly excelled in providing banking services with over 100 retail branches in key states in the US. First opening the bank for community banking service in 1834 in Evansville, Indiana, where it is also headquartered today,
Old National Bank in 1985 became a multi-state financial service bank with branches expanding in Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Ohio. Locations of Old National Bank are projected to further expand within and beyond these states.
Largest
The bank operates under the Old National Bancorp holding company with over $8.5 billion in total assets. The holding company is regarded as the largest financial services bank based in Indiana. For Old National Bank alone, services include cash management, lease financing, debit cards, and online banking. Old National Bancorp also offers other services such as wealth management, investment and brokerage, investment consultancy, and insurance agency through its other subsidiaries.
Moreover, the bank does not only offer a diverse range of quality banking products and services but also ensures the welfare and protection of its customers. In fact, on its Old National Bank online banking service, precautionary measures on how to avoid identity theft, which is very rampant on the Internet today, are being adopted and reminded to its clients.
Solid
Old National Bank attributes its success to the history and continuing solid service performance to its customers, employees, and shareholders. On its official website, the bank highlights its mission, which is aimed at consistently exceeding the expectations of its clients, associates, and shareholders.
The bank further eyes itself to be the recognized financial institution that builds and maintains long term and highly valued relationships with its clients. In order to achieve this, the bank vowed to render passionate commitment of unequalled client care and solutions. Old National Bank believes that this commitment would further sustain the bank for 100 more financially successful years.
Old National Bank seems to be on the right track as it recently earned the votes of the people in Indiana for being the Best Financial Institution in the 2006 Evansville Courier & Press Reader’s Choice Awards. The criteria for the votes are generally based on the quality of services, facilities, and effectiveness of the staff of the bank.
Given the long history and track record of Old National Bank, no wonder that it is the most favorite bank in Indiana.
