FIRST FARMERS BANK & TRUST NAMED OFFICIAL BANKING PARTNER OF THE INDY FUEL

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indy Fuel announced today a multi-year partnership with First Farmers Bank & Trust (FFBT) as its Official Banking partner of the Indy Fuel hockey and Fishers Freight football teams. 

As part of the new partnership, FFBT, a regional bank headquartered in Converse, Indiana, will become the team's official and exclusive retail and commercial banking partner. The partnership strengthens both organizations' shared vision and long-standing commitment to community impact through the power of sport. As part of the new partnership, FFBT will be supporting the team’s Junior Fuel youth sports efforts, and fans coming to the Fishers Event Center will see FFBT brand presence during Indy Fuel and Fishers Freight home games as well as brand entitlement of the VIP Lobby and Suite Promenade destinations. 

“We are excited to announce our partnership together, which marks a significant milestone for First Farmers Bank & Trust and the Hamilton County community as a whole,” said Matt Maher, Hamilton County Market President at First Farmers Bank & Trust. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting local initiatives in Hamilton County and we look forward to strengthening our bonds right here in the community. At First Farmers, we have a strong foothold close by in Carmel, and this partnership is a perfect expansion for us to continue our focus in and around Hamilton County. We’re proud to be the Official Bank of the Indy Fuel and Fishers Freight and look forward to the grand opening in November.”

"We are thrilled to reach a multi-year partnership agreement with First Farmers Bank & Trust," said Larry McQueary, President of Indy Fuel. FFBT was built on heart and grit, as was this team, and we believe this partnership will provide a great impact to our team, fans and the community as FFBT continues to grow their footprint in Hamilton County and the surrounding region. We thank FFBT for their support as we move to the new Fishers Event Center.
