SEYMOUR, Ind. - JCBank was recently named a recipient of the Indiana Bankers Association’s (IBA) "Commitment to Community Award" in the mid-sized bank category ($750 million to $3 billion in assets), recognizing the bank’s outstanding community service and investment across its service areas.

The honor acknowledges JCBank’s efforts throughout 2025 to strengthen local communities through financial support, volunteerism, and strategic partnerships addressing the critical needs.   

During the year, JCBank contributed $170,816 to local organizations, while team members volunteered a combined 6,010 hours in support of local programs and nonprofit partners.    

JCBank’s community outreach is rooted in the belief that strong communities are built on stable housing, reliable access to nutritious food, and quality healthcare.   

The financial institution’s support included offering iGrad financial education in local schools and contributions to organizations such as New Hope for Families in Bloomington, Anchor House in Seymour, Habitat for Humanity, Greensburg Community Bread of Life, and the YMCA’s Food Assistance Program. 

Marvin S. Veatch, president and CEO of JCBank, said, “For more than 125 years, JCBank has believed banking goes beyond transactions; it is about serving people, investing in our communities, and helping create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.”   

The bank encourages its team members to stay involved in their local communities through volunteer projects, nonprofit board service, financial education initiatives, and participation in local civic organizations. This hands-on approach remains a cornerstone of JCBank’s commitment to community banking.
