1. Real people, real help—right here in Indiana

When your checking account is with The Farmers Bank, you’re not just a number in a distant call center.

• You can visit a nearby branch when you have questions or need help with your account.
• You work with bankers who understand local employers, school schedules, and the cost of living in central Indiana.

2. Checking that fits your family’s everyday life

We design our personal checking accounts to support how families actually use money day to day—paychecks coming in, bills going out, and plenty of “extras” in between.

Depending on the account you choose, you may have:

• Options with low monthly fees or ways to avoid them
• Minimum balance requirements that vary by account
• A debit card for everyday purchases, bills, and online shopping
• Easy setup for direct deposit and automatic payments

Not sure which account fits your household best?

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

• Lots of monthly bills → look for alerts plus easy transfers and bill-pay tools
• Want fewer surprises → set up low-balance and large-transaction alerts
• Fee-sensitive → choose an account with simple ways to waive or reduce fees
• Switching banks → we can help you move direct deposit and autopayments

With The Farmers Bank, you can:

• Use online banking to check balances, transfer funds, and pay bills
• Log in to our mobile banking app to manage your account on the go
• Deposit checks from your phone with mobile deposit
• Set up account alerts to help you monitor activity and avoid surprises

5. Your money stays close to home—and supports your community

When you bank with The Farmers Bank, your deposits help support the same Indiana communities where you live and raise your family. Your checking relationship helps us:

• Provide loans for local homes, farms, and small businesses
• Support community events, schools, and local organizations
• Offer financial education and outreach

It’s everyday banking that also contributes to the strength and growth of our local economy.

6. An easy path to better savings habits for your family

A checking account is just the beginning. As your goals grow, you can connect checking to a range of savings options, all managed in one place:

• Build your first emergency fund with a Regular Savings Account
• Help larger balances grow over time with an Advantage High Yield Account
• Balance access and earnings with a Money Market Account
• Put longer-term savings to work in Certificates of Deposit (CDs)
• Help kids, teens, and students build good habits with a Student Savings Account

Linking checking and savings makes it easier to move money toward your goals with automatic transfers, separate “buckets” for different goals, and one login to manage it all.

Simple next steps to open a checking account

Getting started is simple—and you can do it in the way that works best for your family.
