Wayne Bank and Trust Co.

   Wayne Bank was founded by Abiram Boyd in Cambridge City in 1882, and now has the distinction of being Indiana’s oldest locally owned and operated bank. Ownership and operation of the bank has remained in the Boyd family throughout its 127 year existence.
    Wayne Bank operated primarily in the Western Wayne area until 1981, at which time a branch was established in the Gateway Shopping Center in Richmond. A second branch located at South 5th & A Streets in Richmond was opened in 1983.
    Wayne Bank offers a full range of banking services, including deposit and loan products for individuals and businesses, as well as debit, credit and merchant card services. The addition of online banking services has also opened a new and convenient delivery channel for our products. Users can view accounts and check images online, transfer funds between accounts, and pay bills online. Corporate customers can make use of these functions, and can also produce wire transfer orders, payroll services and a number of other corporate functions online.
    Wayne Bank’s Board of Directors is comprised of Alonzo “Lon” Boyd Jr., Roger Kem, Fred Fowler, David Fulton, Rob Quigg, Steve Slonaker, Larry Waskom and Wayne Vincent. The bank’s Executive Officers are Lon Boyd, Roger Kem and Roy Crull. Mr. Boyd joined Wayne Bank in 1956, and was elected President in 1968. He is the sixth member of the Boyd family to serve as President. Mr. Kem joined the bank in 1974, and holds the titles of Executive Vice President and Trust Officer. Mr. Crull joined the bank in 1981, and is Senior Vice President, Controller and Corporate Secretary.
    At Wayne Bank, we like to think of our customers and employees as family, and strive to treat each one as a family member. Our goal is to provide courteous, friendly and efficient service to our customers and a safe and equitable workplace for our employees.
    While the banking industry has undergone countless changes over the years, one thing that has not changed is that Wayne Bank remains among the most solvent banks in the United States, and strongly promotes a corporate culture built on safe and sound banking procedures in every aspect of its operation. Protection of our depositors’ funds and our desire to provide the very finest personal and corporate banking services are and always have been our highest priorities.
    We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and our Directors, Officers and Employees for the bank’s continued success, and we look forward to many more years of operation as Indiana’s oldest locally owned bank.
