FCN Bank, originally known as the “”Franklin County National Bank,”” began its operations on January 2, 1901, marking the first business day of the 20th century. The initial capital of $25,000 was raised by selling 250 shares of stock at $100 each. In its inaugural year, the bank recorded net earnings of $1,160.97, setting the stage for a series of profitable years. The original location of the bank was at 517 Main Street, known to many Brookville residents as the Poppers Building. The bank occupied the right-hand side of the building. In 1913, the present main bank building was constructed at 501 Main Street, though construction faced delays due to the Great Flood of 1913. During this time, the back of the bank housed the Brookville American newspaper. As technology advanced, FCN Bank expanded its operations. In 1993, the bank acquired its first expansion branch in Everton, Indiana, followed by the construction of a new branch in Batesville, Indiana, in 1998. In 2003, FCN Bank purchased another branch in Sunman, Indiana, and in 2007, it ventured across state lines to establish a branch in Harrison, Ohio. In May 2020, Dearborn Savings Bank in Lawrenceburg merged with and into FCN Bank, creating the largest community bank headquartered in southeastern Indiana. The main branch of FCN Bank remains in the original building constructed in 1913. FCN Bank consists of its main headquarters and five additional branches, employing approximately 100 people and continuing to grow.
