Roughly 20 percent of older Americans fall prey to financial exploitation losing on average $120,000, or $3 billion every year, according to an study from the AARP Public Policy Institute.

2020 has been a year like no other for businesses, families and communities. As we look back over the year, a quote from Maya Angelou seems fitting, “Be present in all things and thankful for all things.”

Perfect weather and beautiful course conditions awaited all 26 teams at the 23^rd Annual Heartland Bank Community Foundation Charity Golf Classic. With temps in the 70s, clear skies and a bit of a breeze, this year’s golfers couldn’t ask for more exceptional playing conditions.

It’s an exciting time for us at Heartland Bank, and changes are happening everywhere. We are proud to announce the development of a new logo for Heartland Bank and our parent company, Heartland BancCorp. The original Heartland Bank logo will now be referred to as our “Legacy Logo,” and it will still be visible in many places – we can’t forget where we came from! 

At Heartland Bank, our associates are our assets. In a time when businesses struggle to find and retain committed and qualified employees, Heartland is proud to refer to its associates as family and even prouder to share that many have five or more years of service. Eric Schworm is one of those assets, and as he approaches his five-year anniversary, he is one happy camper who plans on growing with the bank!
