IN RE: First Internet Bank of Indiana
Indianapolis, Indiana
Application for Federal Deposit Insurance
STATEMENT
Pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1815), an application for federal deposit insurance has been filed on behalf of First
Internet Bank of Indiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, a proposed new state chartered stock bank
to be located at 8335 Allison Pointe Trail, Suite 101, Indianapolis, Indiana.
First Internet Bank will offer traditional banking products on the Internet, and will
have no traditional branch locations. Initial capitalization is adequate, and projected
deposit growth, if realized, will result in operating profits within a reasonable period
of time. The factors relating to general character and fitness of management and risk to
the deposit insurance fund have been resolved as favorable. A review of the applicant's
statements and other available information revealed no inconsistencies with the purpose of
the Community Reinvestment Act.
The trade area is categorized into three segments in the application. Hamilton and
Marion counties in Indiana are designated as the bank's primary trade area. The secondary
market will be the state of Indiana, and the tertiary market will include all of the
United States. No formal objections to this proposal were filed, and granting of deposit
insurance to this institution would have no substantive effect on the competitive
environment. The proposed investment in fixed assets is reasonable, and future earnings
prospects are favorable.
Accordingly, based on careful evaluation of all available relevant facts and
information, the Associate Director, pursuant to delegated authority, has concluded that
approval of the application is warranted.
