COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- HomeFederal Bank is changing its name to Indiana Bank and Trust Company, while maintaining its same ownership, management and board of directors. "In 2008, our bank celebrates its 100th year," said John Keach, Jr. the bank's Chairman and CEO, in announcing the change today. "We believe our new name marks a look forward in our service to our customers, our communities, and the state we call home." "Our roots are, and always have been, right here in Indiana," Keach said. "We feel our new name better reflects our service to the south central Indiana market and the products we offer the people who live and work here." Keach noted that the past century has seen tremendous growth for the bank. "There is much our founders wouldn't recognize about Indiana Bank and Trust Company today," Keach said. "But 100 years later, our commitment to our customers and community is as strong as ever." "Our attention to customer service and our pledge to offer customers the most useful financial products available are the same as they were the day we opened our doors as New Building & Loan Association back in 1908 in Seymour," said Keach. The change will take effect on March 1, 2008, with a new logo and signage highlighting the roll-out. Customers will see no operational changes and account numbers will remain the same. Customers may continue to use their current supply of checks as well as ATM and debit cards. The bank is a subsidiary of Home Federal Bancorp (HOMF/NASDAQ), which, subject to shareholder approval, plans to change its name to Indiana Community Bancorp (INCB/NASDAQ). Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, HomeFederal serves south central Indiana with 21 locations from Greenwood to Salem, and a commercial banking office in Indianapolis.
