Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Ameriana Bank started out in the town of New Castle, Indiana in 1890. Back then, as a building and loan, our main mission was to provide home loans to the residents and companies of East Central Indiana. Since that time, we've grown considerably. Today, Ameriana offices are located throughout Central Indiana, and each one of them is fully committed to being a true community bank.
What is your primary product or service?
At Ameriana, our promise is to:
•Make you feel right at home. Because in the end, we feel our neighbors and the community are the best investments we can put on our books.
•Help you achieve financial milestones. From buying a new home or car to starting a business and contributing to causes dear to your heart.
•Guide you to a stronger financial life. We'll give you the basics of good money management, and then we'll help you build on those basics.
•Make you feel more confident. Not only confident, but also motivated to act on your current money challenges.
•Celebrate life beyond the dollar signs. Our banking centers are community gathering places where you can learn about trends, current events, and new thinking.
•Be unified with our neighbors. We want to share your hopes and celebrate your successes. When we work together, everyone can grow, prosper, and enjoy life in Indiana.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We have always believed that helping the people and businesses in the towns where we're located is the best investment we can make. It's a business philosophy that has benefited us as much as those we serve.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We recently opened our 14th location - the 5th in Hamilton County - and have plans to open a banking center in Broad Ripple in Spring 2015.

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
