History

An Old National Bank location in Granger, Indiana

The bank was founded in 1834 as Evansville's first bank. It has operated under several names, including Evansville National Bank and Old State National Bank. In 1922, it was officially named Old National Bank. The bank holding company Old National Bancorp was formed in 1983 as a multi-bank holding company and now operates in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kentucky and Illinois.[4]

In November 1995, Old National acquired the Greencastle-based First United Savings Bank for $18 million in stock.[5][6] In the following year, Old National acquired the Bloomington-based Workingmens Capital Holdings with its Workingmens Federal Savings Bank subsidiary for an undisclosed amount in stock.[7]

Old National participated in the Treasury Department's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) with the Treasury Department buying $100 million in preferred, non-voting stock. However, by March 2009 Old National had repurchased all of its outstanding stock and had fully exited the TARP program.

In 2009, Charter One's Indiana bank branches became Old National Bank after Old National Bank bought Charter One's Indiana operations.[8][9] In January 2011, Old National acquired Bloomington-based Monroe Bancorp with its Monroe Bank subsidiary for $90 million in stock.[10][11] Later that year, Integra Bank was closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and all deposit accounts, excluding certain brokered deposits, were transferred to Old National.[12] In 2012, Old National acquired 24 retail bank branches of Bank of America in northern Indiana and southwest Michigan.[13] In 2014, Old National acquired four banks: Tower Bank in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United Bank in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Lafayette Savings Bank in Lafayette, Indiana, and Founders Bank & Trust in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In May 2016, AnchorBank, the third-largest bank based in Wisconsin, was bought by Old National for approximately $461 million.[14]

In August 2017, Old National agreed to buy Anchor Bank of Minnesota for $303 million. The acquisition will add 17 locations in the Twin Cities and 1 in Mankato plus $1.7 billion in deposits and $2.1 billion in assets.[15] In June 2018, KleinBank, based in Chaska, Minnesota, announced its 21 locations were being acquired by Old National, increasing Old National's presence in the western suburbs of Minneapolis.[16]

In 2021, Old National merged with First Midwest Bancorp, combining the companies' assets, retaining the Old National name, and maintaining headquarters in Chicago and Evansville.[17]

On April 10, 2023, a mass shooting at the Louisville, Kentucky branch resulted in five fatalities (all employees) and eight other injured people, including a rookie police officer. The injured officer's partner subsequently killed the perpetrator, who was a current bank employee.[18]

In 2024, it was announced that CapStar Financial Holdings Inc. merged its operations with those of the bank. As a result, CapStar Bank became a division of Old National Bank.[19]
