First Bank of Berne is honored by magazine
IBCA Independent Banker, the magazine of the Independent Community Bankers of America, placed First Bank of Berne among its “ICBA 400” community bank performers in its June issue. The ranking is based on First Bank of Berne’s 2011 year-end earnings and operational efficiencies.
“The community banks highlighted in this year’s ICBA 400 exemplify the mission of community banking by reinvesting locally in their communities and making them a better place for their customers to live and work each and every day,” said Chris Lorence, ICBA executive vice president and chief marketing officer.  “We commend First Bank of Berne for their ongoing dedication to the positive mission of our great industry.”
“First Bank of Berne is honored to be named to the ICBA 400,” said Kent Liechty, President and CEO.  “As a proud member of the local communities, we credit our dedicated employees and loyal local customers for our success and are proud to be part of the financial foundation that drives economic stability and prosperity right here on Main Street.”
