First Federal Bank hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and
reception to celebrate the opening of a second office in southwest
Fort Wayne, Indiana today. The 4,000-square-foot-facility, located
at 9909 Illinois Road, brings First Federal Bank’s total number of
offices in northwest Ohio, southeast Michigan and northeast Indiana
to 33. This office was designed with stand-alone desks instead of a
traditional teller line to facilitate personalized, one-on-one
banking experiences for every client. Also as part of the ribbon
cutting ceremony, First Federal Bank made a check presentation to
Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana.
According to Phil Bundy, Fort Wayne Market Area Executive, the
new office offers a full range of banking services for individual,
small business and commercial clients, but with a unique approach
to service. “This office is staffed with relationship bankers who
will be able to do any type of transaction for you from opening a
new account, completing a loan application to making a simple
deposit,” Bundy stated. “This facility also gives us an opportunity
to build our commitment to Fort Wayne. We are very pleased with our
growth, and we look forward to presenting our ‘Customer First’
style of community banking to the residents in southwest Fort
Wayne.”
Lisa Stauffer has been appointed as Relationship Banking Manager
of the new office, and Dan Fivecoate will serve as Mortgage and
Consumer Lending Officer. The office also features staff dedicated
to Treasury Management, Business Banking, Wealth Management, and
Insurance through First Federal’s affiliate First Insurance Group.
“We invite everyone to stop in during the month of September for
grand opening specials and to see what our philosophy of ‘Better
together.’ truly means,” Stauffer said.
First Federal Bank has an additional Fort Wayne location at 1595
West Dupont Road. The First Federal Bank Illinois Road office
number is (260) 432-0022.
