Michael L. Kubacki, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “Our growth in St. Joseph County has been very strong over the past decade and we’re proud that this growth has resulted in the opening of our regional headquarters office. As an Indiana bank serving Indiana communities, we’re excited to become part of the professional community of downtown South Bend with our 45th office.”
Jeff Rea, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of St. Joseph County, said, “We’re pleased that Lake City Bank has continued their expansion and growth in St. Joseph County. It’s a positive sign of the economic strength and future potential of the South Bend market, as the bank has made a substantial investment in our communities. This expansion further reinforces our belief that downtown South Bend plays an important role in our region’s business community.”
The office will be home to nearly 20 South Bend Lake City Bank team members, including Senior Vice President and Commercial Banking Regional Manager Chris Craft and Vice President and Retail Banking Regional Manager Stephanie Leniski.
The office will provide technology-driven banking solutions for businesses and individuals and serve as the bank’s regional headquarters. In addition, the commercial banking staff will provide direct access for clients to specialists in wealth advisory and trust services, commercial treasury management services, corporate bond administration, retirement services and merchant card services.
David M. Findlay, president and chief financial officer, stated, “We’ve worked closely with the building’s architect to design an office that fits with the historic nature of the building. Lake City Bank’s success has been built around connections to the communities we serve and this office will become an important part of that history as we continue our growth in the South Bend market.”
Kubacki concluded, “This office is a natural extension of our commitment to Northern Indiana. With over $2 billion of loans to Indiana residents and businesses, we are focused on playing a role in the economic recovery of our Hoosier communities.”
