SEYMOUR — JCBank has been named a recipient of the prestigious Commitment to Community (C2C) Award by the Indiana Bankers Association (IBA). The accolade specifically honors JCBank within the mid-sized bank category, which represents financial institutions holding between $750 million and $3 billion in assets.
The annual award recognizes outstanding community service, local investment, and a corporate culture dedicated to volunteerism across a bank’s regional footprint.

JCBank’s philanthropic efforts are structurally focused on three core pillars of societal stability: affordable housing, secure food access, and quality healthcare.
Over the past year, the institution backed these priorities through diverse partnerships, including funding the iGrad financial education program in regional schools to improve youth financial literacy. Key regional non-profits receiving support included:
- Anchor House (Seymour)
- New Hope for Families (Bloomington)
- Greensburg Community Bread of Life
- Habitat for Humanity
- The YMCA’s Food Assistance Program
“This recognition is a tremendous honor for JCBank and reflects the core values that define us,” said Marvin S. Veatch, president and CEO of JCBank. “For more than 125 years, JCBank has believed banking goes beyond transactions — it is about serving people, investing in our communities, and helping create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.”
Veatch emphasized that the achievement relies heavily on the culture of the bank’s workforce, who frequently transition from behind the teller counter to local non-profit boards, civic organizations, and chamber of commerce projects.
“We are grateful to the Indiana Bankers Association for this recognition, but even more grateful for the dedication of our team members and the work of our nonprofit partners,” Veatch added. “Their commitment makes it possible for JCBank to respond to important needs.”
