Reducing Paper Adds Up
Naturally, banking involves paper — statements, notices, receipts, and more. But producing and disposing of paper uses significant resources, including water, trees, and electricity. That’s why we continue to invest in solutions that reduce paper waste without compromising service.

Community
Lake City Bank has cared about our communities since first opening on May 14, 1872, in Warsaw, Indiana. As Indiana has grown over the years, we’ve grown right along with it — while proudly keeping the same name on the door. What started as one small office with $60,000 in assets has grown to 55 locations and $7.2 billion in assets. Even with all that growth, our focus hasn’t changed — to serve our communities, one customer, one business at a time.
Defining Community Banking One Volunteer Hour at a Time

Bank Secrecy Act
The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), also known as the Anti-Money Laundering Law (AML), passed into law in 1970. Designed to combat money laundering, the BSA established requirements for financial institutions that protect their clients, their communities and the country. Specifically, the law established requirements for recordkeeping and reporting suspicious activity that could indicate money laundering and other crimes.
Lake City Bank has integrated BSA controls into our processes and structure. Specifically, Lake City Bank maintains a BSA/AML compliance program including:
- Designating a BSA officer who is responsible for managing BSA/AML compliance
- Designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance with the BSA, and due diligence of our customer base to identify beneficial ownership
- Conducting independent BSA/AML compliance testing
- Implementing yearly training for all bank employees based on their specific job responsibilities
