WHITEHALL – Heartland Bank is celebrating its 110th anniversary as an independent community bank; Heartland BancCorp, the banks parent company, recently reported in a news release.
“Not many companies make it 50 years, let alone 110, and banks are no exception,” said Chairman, President and CEO G. Scott McComb. “You only get there through well-trained, caring associates with unquestionable integrity and strong leadership who will invest in them and our communities.”
With roots in Croton, Ohio, dating back to 1911, Heartland Bank wasted no time growing those roots to the many suburbs of central Ohio, and recently to the Northern Kentucky area. From the first president, George Van Fossen, to the current president, Scott McComb, Heartland has grown to 18 full-service branch locations, $1.5 billion in assets, a financial planning division and its own title company, TransCounty Title Agency.
“Through the strategic vision of our past and present leaders, we have achieved strong, consistent balance sheet growth and earnings results since becoming Heartland,” said Executive Vice President and CFO Carrie Almendinger. “Through this growth, we have supported our local communities by helping individuals and small businesses realize their dreams. Most importantly, throughout history, we have protected and maintained the Heartland family culture.”
Heartland takes pride in its past while being dedicated to a community-minded future.
