First Federal Savings Bank has been honored as a Five Star Member of the Indiana Bankers Association.

The award was presented on April 13 by Amber Van Til, IBA president and CEO, in recognition of First Federal Savings Bank’s Association involvement throughout 2025.

The Five Star Member designation recognizes those IBA-member banks that demonstrate outstanding commitment to the Association in five areas: life-long learning, political awareness, grassroots advocacy, IBA volunteerism and utilized endorsed, vetted vendors.

“Our mission at the IBA is to provide member banks with the resources they need to grow strong, which in turn helps create stronger communities,” said Amber Van Til, IBA president and CEO. “The dedication of First Federal Savings Bank by engaging at a high level with our Association, demonstrates their commitment to future growth for the bank and for the communities they serve.”

The Indiana Bankers Association supports Indiana banking through issues analysis, professional education, and products and services that enhance member banks’ ability to serve their communities.
