FISHERS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Internet Bank of Indiana, the first Indiana banking institution to operate solely on the internet, announced plans today to expand its operations to Fishers, Indiana and add over 48 jobs as part of its growth. The bank’s parent company, First Internet Bancorp, plans to invest $4.3 million in the former site of the St. Vincent Health medical center, located at 11201 USA Parkway.

“Fishers’ ability to attract top talent is now stronger than ever and First Internet’s investment is excellent proof”

”We were pleased to identify this facility as a site for expansion,” said David B. Becker, Chairman and CEO of First Internet Bancorp. “Much like First Internet Bank itself, the Fishers community is growing and thriving. With its many amenities, strong school system, and community events, Fishers has positioned itself to be a place where people want to live and work.”

The 49,700 sq. ft. facility was formerly classified as medical use-tax exempt. The First Internet expansion will bring the facility back into a taxable use, creating jobs and opening up additional space for potential new tenants. By creating 48 new jobs, First Internet Bank plans to invest $3.3 million in new payroll.

“Fishers’ ability to attract top talent is now stronger than ever and First Internet’s investment is excellent proof,” said Fishers Town Council President John Weingardt. “We appreciate David Becker’s leadership and commitment to Fishers, both as a resident and now part of the business community.”
