German American Bank by name, American through and through by design.

Back in 1910, business visionaries in Jasper, Indiana, a community located in the heart of the Ohio Valley region, started a bank. They christened the name German American Bank in honor of the area's rich German-American heritage.

Today, we’ve grown to become one of the strongest community banks in the Midwest. Despite our growth, we're still based in Jasper and still driven by the belief that when a community thrives, its people prosper.
