First Financial Bank (Nasdaq: FFBC) has completed the conversion of BankFinancial’s operating systems and is now offering consumer banking, commercial banking, specialty banking and wealth management services under the First Financial brand in the Chicagoland area.
All retail branches and ATMs have been rebranded as First Financial Bank, and clients can begin to directly access First Financial’s wide variety of banking and financial services.
First Financial has also committed $1 million to the First Financial Foundation for the benefit of organizations in the Chicagoland area now being served by the bank.
“BankFinancial clients who have transitioned to First Financial are learning more about our focus on creating opportunities for our clients and communities to thrive,” said Archie Brown, president and CEO of First Financial Bank. ”We are serving Chicagoland with a community-first approach while offering our deep banking expertise and a comprehensive suite of financial services.”
The conversion consolidated products, processes and operating systems from the two banks, and BankFinancial clients can continue banking through their local branches as they always have. Clients also can take advantage of a wider range of solutions to meet their financial needs, including expanded mortgage lending, commercial banking, wealth management and specialty banking services. First Financial has been communicating with BankFinancial clients in recent weeks to help them through the conversion.
First Financial’s new retail locations in Chicagoland expand its presence in the area, where it already has locations in Northwest Indiana and in Kankakee, Watseka and Hoopeston in Northeast Illinois.
