(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – Customers and employees alike are saying goodbye to United Community Bank on Friday.
United Community Bank formed in 1999 when Perpetual Federal Savings & Loan and Progressive Federal Savings Bank merged. Over the past 19 years, the bank’s Board of Directors and CEO E.G. McLaughlin have helped the bank live up to its name by supporting countless community causes, sponsoring events, and serving customers in southeastern Indiana.
UCB, headquartered in Lawrenceburg, has been acquired by Sandusky, Ohio-based Civista Bank. The $114 million deal, which was first announced last March, received shareholder and regulatory approval in July.
Eight UCB branches across Dearborn and Ripley counties will be closed on Saturday, September 15 while the transition takes place. Those branches will reopen Monday, September 17 as Civista Bank.
While the branding and other services may change, customers will still see many of the familiar faces of tellers working at the branches.
UCB customers can find information on what to expect during the transition at Civista Bank's website. The bank has also been mailing to customers communications about the coming changes.
The acquisition deal is expected to close sometime after UCB branches are transitioned to Civista’s system.
