The first Old National Bank (as it would later be known) provided financial solutions for community residents, local merchants and those passing through. New loans allowed families to realize their dreams and businesses to grow.
Old National grew, too, and soon would successfully navigate the difficult periods that forced many other banks to close, including the Panic of 1837 and the 1929 Wall Street crash that ushered in the Great Depression. Through it all, Old National remained strong.
By the end of World War II, the bank’s growth meant it also could expand geographically — a trend that would continue over the years.
In Jackson County, the location in Seymour moved from West Second Street to East Tipton Street in 2016. There also was a location in Brownstown until 2015 when it was acquired by MainSource Bank.
In June 2021, Old National announced a merger of equals with First Midwest Bank, a Chicago, Illinois-based financial institution. This merger was officially completed in February 2022. This combination with approximately $48 billion in total assets and dual headquarters in Evansville and Chicago provides even greater convenience for clients with expanded access to banking centers.
In 2024, Old National completed a partnership with CapStar Bank, increasing to $53 billion in total assets.
Today, there are more than 280 banking centers, and Old National is the sixth largest commercial bank headquartered in the Midwest by assets and is a top 30 largest bank in the United States.
