The IBA Annual Washington Trip affords bankers the opportunity to talk with legislators and regulators about the successes and concerns of Indiana’s banking industry. These officials welcome hearing from bankers firsthand in order to produce workable laws and regulations. This trip gives bankers the chance to explain to policymakers face-to-face how the regulatory burden on banks affects consumers, and to make suggestions for modifications to burdensome rules. Bankers who have attended past Washington visits were able to address problems and raise issues of concern to policymakers individually. The trip is planned for maximum contact and productivity. “We love having visitors come by. We are very lucky in that our bankers come to visit on a fairly regular basis. They represent a wide spectrum from across the state, and our doors are always open. I’m the hired help. I work for the people of Indiana, and I hope that all of our bankers understand that it’s not ‘Joe’s office.’ It’s the office of the people of Indiana. It’s their office, and it’s my honor to serve.” – U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly, as quoted in this July issue of Hoosier Banker “Office visits in Washington are extremely helpful. We as legislators have a lot of ‘noise’ around us in Washington, a lot of distractions … As constituents, sometimes when you’re out of sight, you’re out of mind. It’s important to come to Washington to keep your issues on the radar screen.” – U.S. Rep. Marlin Stutzman, as quoted in the July 2013 Hoosier Banker For more information and to register online, visit indianabankers.org/2015-iba-annual-washington-trip or contact Josh Myers at 317-917-8047, email: jmyers@indianabankers.org.

6 Hoosier Banker July 2015 Each July, we take time to reflect on the United States’ independence from imperial control. As citizens of this great nation, we as individuals enjoy the freedom to be independent in both thoughts and actions, as long as we do no harm to other individuals or to society at large. This grand experiment in democratic rule and individual freedom, known as the United States of America, is a shining example of the successful interweaving of freedom and liberty with individual responsibility. Despite any societal problems that the United States may have, this nation is still the best place to live on planet earth. One of the tenets of our nation’s success has been the powerful dynamic between state and federal governments. The 50 states that make up the United States share many similarities, yet each is unique. Our states are unique in their geography, size and amenities, including natural resources. They reap the benefits of different types of major employers. Each has its own state-level, county and municipal governments, resulting in a national patchwork of rules that citizens live by. All of these factors combine to make the United States coveted among nations. We in Indiana will soon have even more cause to think back to our history and heritage. On Dec. 11, 1816, Indiana became the 19th state admitted to the United States of America. On Dec. 11, 2015 ‒ about five months from now ‒ Indiana will begin a year-long celebration of our bicentennial anniversary of statehood. A few years ago, the Indiana Bicentennial Commission was created to coordinate and lead the state’s efforts to celebrate our 200th birthday. One century ago, a similar organization helped coordinate the celebration of our state's 100-year anniversary. Recently the Indiana Bankers Association was approached about the honor of being the presenting sponsor of a bicentennial coin, an opportunity proposed by Perry Hammock, executive director of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission. Our executive committee of the board vetted the details, and the IBA board of directors voted to approve the sponsorship. Back in 1916, a much younger IBA likewise was the presenting sponsor of the centennial coin, so we are continuing a long tradition of working in unison with the state of Indiana in these celebrations. Coincidentally on Jan. 29, 1916, Hoosier Banker magazine was first published, and it has continued to be published each month since. Therefore Hoosier Banker will turn 100 years old in 2016, the same year that our state celebrates its bicentennial. In the coming months, many FEATURE PresiDenT’s PonDerinGs S. Joe DeHaven, President & Chief Executive Officer, Indiana Bankers Association communications will be shared with you explaining how the banking community can help to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Indiana’s statehood, particularly regarding your role in the exclusive distribution of the bicentennial coin. Many specifics are yet to be determined, and IBA staff will be working closely with Mr. Hammock and his team to finalize those details. As to Hoosier Banker magazine’s 100-year anniversary, staff is working on celebratory plans and is open to your ideas and insights. These will be exciting times for IBA and our member banks as we honor our past, while simultaneously looking to the future. In this patriotic month of July, let us be thankful for our rich heritage and for the patriots who made it possible. Particularly in this special time in our history, let us also look forward to a joyful celebration of 200 years of statehood for Indiana and 100 years of Hoosier Banker! Amber R. Van Til has been named an executive vice president of the Indiana Bankers Association. She most recently served as senior vice president-government relations, with primary responsibility for all state banking legislative issues and for IBA’s communications functions. Van Til joined the association in 2002 as lobbyist for the Community Bankers Association of Indiana; she was named vice president-government relations in 2005 and senior vice president-government relations in 2012. Van Til won in the category of Banking & Financial Services in 2008 for the Best & Brightest awards, sponsored by Junior Achievement of Central Indiana Inc. She is a member of the Governmental Affairs Society of Indiana, the Columbia Club and the Indiana Society of Association Executives. Van Til earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Indianapolis, a JD from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law, and is completing studies at the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin next month. t VanTil Promoted to Executive Vice President

8 Hoosier Banker July 2015 Dear Fellow Bankers: Like other community bankers, I wear many hats as president and CEO of Logansport Savings Bank. As expected, I am responsible for recommending the bank’s strategic direction and future planning, but also I am involved in several operational areas due to our smaller size. I have been in banking for more than 35 years, beginning while in high school. I enjoy working with staff, customers and community members on various projects, and it is satisfying to know that we are helping to grow and improve our community. Banking has allowed me to meet some of the best people around, not just locally, but throughout the state and nation, and to see firsthand how success happens. We bankers many times measure success in financial achievements, but success is also reflected in the betterment of those around us ‒ our community and state. One area of service I enjoy is being on the board of directors of the Indiana Bankers Association, which I joined in January. We are fortunate in Indiana to have such a strong and meaningful association. It is second to none. Through board service, I have come especially to appreciate the role of Indiana BANKPAC. While I do not consider myself politically driven, I do understand the importance of standing up for this industry, to help protect it so that we can continue to do what we do best. Unfortunately there are those who would like to change our historical base mission and diminish our ability to serve our communities. Through the IBA board, and also through CEO discussion groups and other IBA offerings, I have had the chance to get to know fellow bankers statewide. Networking is extremely valuable and gives us the opportunity to share best practices. I am also active with community organizations, including past service as United Way campaign chair and board member in Cass County, Chamber chair and board member, and Economic Development chair and board member. Currently I am treasurer of the Region 4 Workforce Board, and I serve on the business advisory board for Indiana University-Kokomo. I also continue to serve the United Way campaign through its Leadership Division, as I have done for many years. Our culture of community service is strong at Logansport Savings Bank, with staff and board members involved in more than 30 organizations. We understand the importance of supporting the community, because our community is a great supporter of us. Giving back is just a natural thing to do. Encouraging staff members to serve is not a difficult proposition because our staff is community-oriented. We provide time and resources, and we genuinely are interested in our employees’ causes, from United Way to school sports teams to quality-of-life initiatives. Community service ties in with our mission statement, which clearly states that our purpose is “serving the needs of our customers, providing them with the best possible service in an efficient, friendly, caring atmosphere” as an “independent, locally controlled and operated, profitable financial institution.” We understand what we are here for and, more importantly, we understand what we are not here for. We have a focused bank approach that has helped us remain profitable with a stable employee base, while meeting customer needs and expectations for 90 years. Banking is in my blood. I started working at Peru Trust Company ‒ now Wells Fargo ‒ in high school and continued while studying finance at Ball State University. While in college, I also worked at First Merchants of Muncie before heading back to my hometown of Peru for 9 full-time years after graduation. I was with Salin Bank in Logansport for 14 years before joining Logansport Savings Bank nearly 10 years ago. Along the way, I had the opportunity to complete the Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin. I also have had the benefit of many fine mentors who taught me important lessons at various stages of my career. I am indebted to all of them. One of those mentors is Dave Wihebrink, my predecessor at Logansport Savings Bank. It was Dave who approached me about joining the bank as part of a long-term succession plan. I joined the bank in early 2006 and worked closely with Dave in preparation for being named president and CEO in 2010, at which point Dave remained as chairman. The result of this measured plan was a smooth, seamless transition for the benefit of the community, employees, board and shareholders. We found another advantage to long-term succession planning is that discussions are more meaningful, because the people who ultimately will be responsible are present at the table. Long-term stability is the theme of my home life, as well. My wife Kim and I celebrated our 31st anniversary last month. She is an elementary school teacher for Maconaquah School Corporation in Miami County. We have two grown children: Kyle is a PGA golf professional for Crooked Stick in Carmel, and Alison works for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When Kim and I are not working, we often are visiting our children or enjoying sporting events as long-time ticket holders for the Indianapolis Colts and IMS. Another favorite activity is traveling to Walt Disney World in Florida. We are annual pass holders and make the trip to Orlando three times a year, often with friends or family. Perhaps my attraction to Walt Disney World is partly why banking is so important to me. They say that “dreams do come true”at Disney. As banking professionals, we work daily to help our customers’ dreams come true, too. It is very gratifying to have that impact in this service profession. FEATURE Board Review Arden L. Cramer, IBA Northwest Region Director Logansport Savings Bank

10 Hoosier Banker July 2015 COVER STORY Recent developments have been reflecting positive news for the U.S. economy, now on the upswing since the 2008 financial crisis. For banks, however, the news is more cautionary, as they struggle under the weight of regulations still materializing as reaction to the crisis. Yet for the Indiana banking community, the outlook is more optimistic. On the state front, Hoosier bankers enjoy the benefit of living and working in a business-friendly environment. And on a federal level, they are ably represented in Washington, D.C., by thoughtful leaders who stand for moderation and reason. Sen. Joe Donnelly, 59, embodies those solid traits. As his Senate website states: “Joe is committed to a moderate and common sense agenda that includes creating and preserving jobs, a strong national defense, reducing the debt and deficit, fighting for our veterans, and promoting an all-in energy plan.” On Jan. 3, 2013, Donnelly took the oath of office to serve in the U.S. Senate, following his election in November 2012. He is in line to become Indiana’s senior senator in 2017, upon the upcoming retirement of Sen. Dan Coats. Deeply embedded in financial matters, Donnelly serves on the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs, which influences the management of legislation affecting banking, financial markets, securities, international trade and finance, economic policy, insurance, housing, and urban development and mass transit. He also serves on three related subcommittees: Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection; Securities, Insurance and Investment; and Housing, Transportation, and Community Development. Additionally Sen. Donnelly is a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry, the Committee on Armed Services and the Special Committee on Aging. Before being elected to the Senate, Donnelly served for three terms in the second Congressional District of Indiana in the U.S. House of Representatives; he first was elected in 2006. In the House, Donnelly likewise was closely connected to banking issues through his service on the Financial Services Committee. Prior to serving in Congress, Donnelly helped run a small business in Mishawaka and also practiced law in South Bend. He gained experience in public service as a member of the Mishawaka Marian High School Board, including a term as board president, and through the Indiana State Election Board. A Democrat, Donnelly earned a reputation for bipartisanship while serving on the election board by working closely with both Democrats and Republicans to ensure accurate election results. A longtime resident of north central Indiana, Donnelly earned bachelor’s and JD degrees from the University of Notre Dame, where he met his wife Jill. The senator and Mrs. Donnelly are proud parents to daughter Molly and son Joe Jr. Hoosier Banker interviewed Sen. Donnelly this spring in his South Bend office. Thank you for serving as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs. As a committee member, what are your priorities? “To serve on the Banking Committee is a special privilege for me. I was fortunate enough to serve on the Financial Services Committee in the House for six years, so it’s a continuation of issues that I have great passion for. “My goal is to work toward continued safety, stability and growth for our economy and, through that growth, the creation of jobs for every Hoosier and every American. In particular, we are now working on a package to try to provide regulatory relief to community banks. Sen. Joe Donnelly: Moderation Prevails Sen. Joe Donnelly discusses policy with Hoosier bankers in his Capitol Hill office.
11 Hoosier Banker July 2015 Continued on page 12. “Community banks, throughout the most difficult times of our economy, were the heart and soul of what was working and what was right, in that they were able to continue to make loans, and they didn’t cause any of the difficulties that we saw. I want to make sure that our community banks are not burdened with unnecessary regulations as a result of the misdeeds of others. “It’s an amazing privilege to serve our state. We have such wonderful people.” How do the Senate and House banking committees differ? “The Senate committee is smaller, with a little over 20 members, as opposed to 50-plus members in the House committee. It’s more of a familial, small-group feel. We are able to sit with each other for extensive periods of time to go over issues. “The work I’m doing on the Senate Banking Committee is a continuation of the work I had been doing in the House. Topics we are addressing include regulatory relief, the ExportImport Bank and, of particular interest for me here in Indiana, the question of how to continue to grow the opportunity for people to access affordable, reasonable loans for RVs, manufactured housing and other products. “I loved serving in the House, and now the Senate. I am extraordinarily fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve in both.” What would you like for your fellow senators, who may be less familiar with financial services, to understand about banking? “I would like for them to understand that not every organization is the same. Some of the organizations that caused the difficulties back in 2008 and 2009 couldn’t be more different from the community banks that serve Indiana and the rest of the country. Our banks are based on solid loans, sound practices and growing the economies of our communities, our state and our country. “When we talk about enacting regulatory relief, I want everybody to know that this is not a challenge to safety and stability. It actually helps create greater safety and stability by enabling our community banks to do their jobs more efficiently, more effectively ‒ and to be able to stay independent, if they choose ‒ because they will have less of a burden to deal with. “In Indiana and across the country, we saw what happens when organizations stray from the common-sense practices of safety and stability. We saw it with rating agencies that created AAA ratings for groups of collateralized debt obligations that clearly were not AAA. We saw it when financial institutions ‒ which were not community banks, not mid-sized banks, not regional banks ‒ put together packages of financial instruments that were incredibly unsafe. “It’s important to me that people know the story of our community banks and of our banks in Indiana.” Conversely, what would you like for Indiana bankers to understand about what you and your colleagues do? “The purpose of the Dodd-Frank Act was to continue safety and stability for our economy. During the most difficult times, because of a lack of capital, we saw manufacturing companies shut down, and we saw unemployment soar over 20 percent in some of our counties. I keep a focused eye on making sure we maintain the safety and stability needed. “The corollary is that DoddFrank shouldn’t add any burdens that do not contribute to safety or stability in any way. So many of the requirements that our banks here in Indiana are dealing with Visits from constituents are welcomed by Sen. Joe Donnelly, shown meeting with Indiana bankers in DC.

What we’re trying to do as a committee is to identify those areas to try to remove that burden.” What can bankers do to facilitate their visits to you in Washington D.C.? “We love having visitors come by. We are very lucky in that our bankers come to visit on a fairly regular basis. They represent a wide spectrum from across the state, and our doors are always open. “I’m the hired help. I work for the people of Indiana, and I hope that all of our bankers understand that it’s not ‘Joe’s office.’ It’s the office of the people of Indiana. It’s their office, and it’s my honor to serve.” How and why did you enter politics? “I had worked with a few campaigns and was interested in the process as a way to make our community a little bit stronger. Because I had helped others in their campaigns, a few people in the community asked me if I would be interested in running for Congress. “I was concerned about the situation in Iraq and various other issues. I thought maybe I could help make a difference.” You have been quoted as saying, ‘My question about everything I do is, does it make our country stronger?’ How does this philosophy apply to economic issues? “I was fortunate to be the congressman from north central Indiana in 2008, 2009 and 2010, a time when we saw the unemployment rate in some of our counties in the congressional district go over 20 percent. When I would hold a town hall meeting, or when I would meet with folks in the supermarket, it wasn’t anger that they felt. It was fear. “It was fear about, ‘How am I going to be able to pay my mortgage next month, when I’ve lost my job?’ ‘How am I going to be able to take care of my children, if I don’t have a place to go to work?’ So before anything else in our country works, we have to make sure that every mom and dad has the opportunity to go to work, take care of their families and make their American dreams come true. “My first and foremost obligation as a senator is the protection and defense of our country. In addition, working to make sure that every American has the chance to make their dreams come true is critical to me. That’s why the state of our economy is so critical. “When our economy is strong, hopes and dreams come true. When the economy struggles, it’s tough on everyone.” Who from your life has had a notable influence on you? “My mother passed away when I was 10 years old, so my dad raised all five of us kids as a single father. He would go off to work at 6 in the morning and come home at 7 every night. He practiced old-fashioned parenting that kept me out of trouble. I think about my father every day. “I also think about Father Ted Hesburgh of the University of Notre Dame, who gave me the chance to go to college. As the grandson of immigrants, I am the second person ever in my family to go to college. I never dreamed that I would have the chance to go to Notre Dame. Father Hesburgh gave me an opportunity that changed my life. “Over the years, what I learned most of all is that it’s really people who make a difference. It’s all about people and relationships and working together to try to make a difference in the lives of others.” t “Donnelly Days” give Sen. Joe Donnelly (second from right) the chance to travel statewide and work with Hoosiers to gain a deeper understanding of the issues affecting various jobs and professions.A sign company that he visited in Indianapolis welcomed him with a large digital greeting. An example of Sen. Joe Donnelly’s bipartisan efforts is his co-introduction, with U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, of S. 970 on April 16. The legislation is written to help more highly rated small financial institutions qualify for the 18-month on-site examination cycle instead of the usual 12-month cycle. The bill would increase from $500 million to $1 billion the total asset threshold below which highly rated small financial institutions can be subject to the longer cycle. “We have a strong community bank presence across our state, and they help create opportunities for many Hoosier businesses and families,” said Donnelly. “This legislation would make a common sense update to existing rules in order to make things a little easier for those banks that are in good standing.” The bill has been assigned to a congressional committee, which will consider it before possibly sending it on to the House or Senate as a whole. t Donnelly, Toomey Introduce Bill to Reduce Bank Burden

14 Hoosier Banker July 2015 COMPLIANCE CONNECTION Question: We have heard that Indiana law has been changed to permit banks to conduct lotteries. Please confirm if this information is correct and, if so, describe the conditions which must be satisfied in order for a bank to conduct a lottery. Answer: The information that you have heard is not correct. Financial institutions are expressly prohibited from participating in lotteries in any manner.1 However, recently enacted federal and state legislation now permits certain financial institutions to offer prize linked savings (PLS) programs. A PLS program is a contest that is associated with certain “qualified accounts” that a financial institution may offer to promote financial literacy and responsible savings habits. For this purpose, qualified accounts include savings accounts, time deposit accounts or other savings programs.2 PLS programs operate in a © 2015 Krieg DeVault LLP THINKING BEYOND TRADITIONAL SOLUTIONS FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS FOR OVER 130 YEARS • Corporate Representation • Mergers and Acquisitions • Capital Offerings • Regulatory • Compliance • Supervision and Enforcement • New Product Development • Litigation • Commercial / Consumer Loan • Creditors’ Rights • Trust • Tax • Securities • Employment • Intellectual Property One Indiana Square • Suite 2800 • Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 p: 317.636.4341 f: 317.636.1507 INDIANA • ILLINOIS • GEORGIA • FLORIDA • MINNESOTA www.kriegdevault.com manner similar to lotteries. A bank may provide its depositors one or more chances to win a prize in consideration of depositing a minimum specified amount of money in a qualified account, or by participating in one or more qualified financial programs.3 Qualified financial programs include any savings, debt reduction, or financial education program or product that an eligible depository financial institution offers to eligible individuals for the purpose of: • Educating individuals on financial concepts; • Encouraging savings by individuals; or • Providing individuals the opportunity to use and control their own money in order to improve their economic and social condition.4 Beginning July 1, 2015, PLS programs will be permissible5 for the following types of insured financial institutions in Indiana (each an “eligible financial institution”), provided that such programs are offered in the manner described in Ind. Code § 28-1-23.2: • A national bank formed under 12 U.S.C. 21; • A state member bank, as defined in 12 U.S.C. 1813; • A state nonmember bank, as defined in 12 U.S.C.1813; and • A savings association, as defined in 12 U.S.C. 1813. Indiana Code section 28-1-23.2, which was adopted in 2014 for the purpose of authorizing credit unions to offer PLS programs, now also establishes the conditions under which an eligible financial institution may offer a PLS program. Such conditions include: • The terms and conditions of a PLS program must allow an eligible individual to obtain one or more entries to win a specified prize only by depositing a minimum specified amount of money in a qualified account, or

Because this is a new product for Indiana financial institutions, we caution that the management team of each bank proposing to offer a PLS program should carefully review the authorizing legislation prior to implementing a program. t Banking on Community iAB Financial Bank Harlan branch manager Tarrah Jasso (left) presents a donation check to Alana Gingerich, along with Harlan Christian School principal Josh Burton.
