Community First Bank of Indiana is pleased to announce the official opening on Monday, Feb. 17 of a new branch location at 17661 Village Center Drive, Noblesville.

President and CEO Robb Blume said, “We are tremendously excited to be opening our first full-service banking facility in Noblesville and our third Hamilton County office inside of 12 months. Our talented staff stands ready to assist you with your banking needs, whether personal or business. We look forward to deepening our ties to Hamilton County by serving your banking, mortgage and investment needs.”

With this new branch, Community First Bank can now offer a 24/7 ATM, night drop, coin machine and more staff to serve customers in Noblesville.

When asked about the expansion into Hamilton County, Marketing and Communication Manager Lainey Schroer told The Reporter, “We just see so much potential in these communities. We see the need for a community bank to be there and the type of people who would respond well to that. We like that our new location in Noblesville close to our Westfield locations, so it is an extension of our Hamilton County presence.”

Their current location in Noblesville is a storefront in the Pebble Village shopping area.

“We built this new full-service branch right in front of it, closer to the road,” Schroer said. “This allows us to serve our clients better and gives us more space to meet with them, give them a 24/7 ATM, drive through services, and it just opens us up to serve them so much better.”

Joshua Faudree, Branch Manager, was born and raised in Hamilton County, went to college at Manchester University, and has worked in the banking industry since 2012. He is involved with “Keep Noblesville Beautiful” and the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce.

“I look forward to continuing the great service our community has come to rely on with the opening of our new Noblesville location,” said Faudree. “Welcome to our family!”

Scott Hammersley, Commercial Loan Group Manager, is a graduate of Ball State University and has over 27 years of banking experience both in retail and commercial banking.

“I have a tremendous passion for what we do,” said Hammersley. “I want to have meaningful, in-depth conversations about your business/industry, your competitors, your long-term goals, your decision-making strategy and whatever else might be top of mind. When this is accomplished, I can then assemble YOUR bank TEAM and match financial solutions to your needs.”

The public Grand Opening celebration with the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce and Ribbon Cutting ceremony with the Mayor will be held at 4:30 p.m. on March 25.
