WARSAW — First Federal Savings Bank aims to be “a community bank.”

“As a community bank with over 100 years in business, our goal is to try to be a good partner with all of our customers and our communities that we operate in,” said its President and CEO Michael Zahn.

“We feel that we’re only as strong as the communities that we operate in and we take our role as a community leader, whether it’s in Huntington County, Kosciusko County or Allen County, very seriously and so we try to find those solutions with those local decision-making hands-on opportunities working with our customers and we feel that community bank model is alive and well,” he continued.

The Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce celebrated the opening of the Huntington County-based bank’s second location in Warsaw with a ribbon-cutting on Wednesday, June 8. It’s located at 445 W. 250N.

The second location opened on May 16. Zahn noted some of the employees there also work at the other Warsaw location at 402 E. Center St.

“All of the employees we try to hire from the Kosciusko area and so that have roots here in the community,” said Zahn. “They know the community and they know what the needs are and we just try to meet those needs as a financial institution.”

“To have one location, that really didn’t cover the whole community and so this gives us an opportunity to move our footprint just a little bit further north and serve those living and working on the northern part of Warsaw,” he added. “We look for other expansion opportunities within Kosciusko County as they become available.”

The new location’s lobby hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. The drive thru is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.
