As the 2022 presenting sponsor of The Indy Pride Rainbow 5k, First Internet Bank showed its pride in supporting a traditional event that helps promote health and wellness while raising money for the Indianapolis LGBTQ+ community. Hundreds turned out to run or walk — including many from our team — on what was a fun and uplifting day for all.
In an effort to promote the professional growth and development of diverse individuals, Marian University-Indianapolis has assembled a coalition of universities and stakeholders within the state of Indiana to launch a groundbreaking Diversity in Leadership Program. The program is designed to help close gaps in educational attainment, wealth, skills and opportunities for minority groups, as well as to create more inclusive living, working and learning communities. First Internet Bank, a sponsor of the program, is excited to help fulfill Indiana’s need to develop broader talent pools within the central Indiana region by supporting highly qualified and diverse professionals for senior-leadership positions. “We must invite and embrace a broader range of ideas to better serve our communities, and this program is an important first step in a journey that will ultimately benefit us all,” said Nicole Lorch, President and Chief Operating Officer of First Internet Bank.
We have always been committed to delivering an equality of opportunity that helps build stronger neighborhoods. By providing mortgage lending to underserved communities and SBA loans to locally-owned small businesses, we continue to advance that cause.
First Internet Bank is proud to serve two important customer segments with its Home First Mortgage loan program and Veterans Administration loans. Home First can help low-to-moderate income families in central Indiana that might not otherwise have the opportunity to achieve home ownership. Our VA home loan program affords active and retired military personnel more favorable terms and elimination of many associated home-buying fees.
Locally-owned businesses are at the heart of communities everywhere, and First Internet Bank’s Small Business Administration (SBA) team delivers expanded access to affordable loans for entrepreneurs. With a nationwide network of Business Development Officers and a dedicated SBA operations group, we quickly attained a Top 25 ranking (SBA Q1 2022 fiscal year) among SBA lenders.
