On February 5^th, Heartland Bank held an Economic Power Breakfast at its Whitehall location and a 2019 Economic Forum luncheon at the Grand Event Center at Grandview Yard. Two events, back-to-back, provided for nearly five hours of intense market analysis with a bit of discussion on building rural prosperity.

2018 was an exciting year for Heartland Bank. Looking back over the past year, we can’t imagine not feeling extremely thankful for accomplishments that have been extraordinary – we extend a heartfelt “thank you” to our customers, associates and the communities we serve!

Heartland Bank is no stranger to celebrations, and we’ve had two big ones this year! It all started with a mid-year Billion Dollar Bash in the fall, and then on Saturday, December 8, the Heartland Bank family gathered at the Hilton Columbus at Easton for the 22^nd Annual Silent Auction and Holiday Celebration. Proceeds from the event are donated to several local charities.

“Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail…” – you’ve probably heard this quote about the postman. This is what our golf committee was thinking as they welcomed the participants on September 28^th to the rain-delayed and rescheduled 21^st Annual Heartland Bank Charity Golf Classic. Originally planned for September 10^th, the rain-soaked course at the Columbus Country Club just couldn’t recover fast enough from the weekend downpours to provide adequate play for the participants. With a new venue this year, Heartland Bank was not excited to postpone the event, but it remained sold-out even for the rescheduled date. Not to mention, this was the first time in Heartland Charity Golf history that the event had to be rescheduled.

Heartland Bank values tradition – boasting whenever possible about the founding members and their determination to form the Croton Bank Company (later renamed Heartland Bank) in a small farming community in Central Ohio to serve a valued segment of the workforce. Heartland’s story starts in the fields of Licking County and continues with a Vice President and Manager of Agribusiness Banking, Joel Oney, plowing ahead and leading his team to counties throughout Central Ohio and beyond.
