First Farmers Bank & Trust has announced the appointment of Corey Kutz as the branch manager and business development officer for its new Lebanon branch, set to open by the end of the year. Kutz, an experienced banking professional with over a decade in the industry, brings significant expertise to his new role.
Kutz joins First Farmers after two years as the Lebanon market manager for State Bank. Before that, he served as branch manager for Huntington National Bank for more than five years, where he gained extensive experience in branch operations and customer service.

In his new role at First Farmers Bank & Trust, Kutz will oversee the operations of the Lebanon branch, manage resources and staff, engage in community outreach, and maintain high standards of customer service. His responsibilities will also include pursuing new business opportunities and supporting clients with their financial needs.
“It’s an honor to welcome Corey Kutz to our Lebanon branch at First Farmers Bank & Trust,” said Tade Powell, Senior Vice President, Director of Communications & Public Relations. “As a trusted and dedicated member of the Lebanon community, Corey brings a wealth of knowledge not just in the financial sector, but in understanding the needs of the city of Lebanon. We are fortunate to have him lead our team.”
Kutz is actively involved in the Lebanon community, serving as a Rotarian, President of the Heart of Lebanon, and Treasurer of the Boone EDC board. He also participates in various city boards and commissions and is the President of the newly formed Lebanon FFA boosters.
The new Lebanon branch will be located in the Lebanon Gateway Shops complex at the intersection of State Road 32 and I-65. The bank will be designed by K4 Architecture, the same firm responsible for the new First Farmers branch in Carmel, Indiana, which is also slated to open later this year.
First Farmers Bank & Trust has been on a growth trajectory, with its assets surpassing the $3 billion mark for the first time in 2023. The bank continues to expand its presence in Indiana and Illinois, serving local businesses, families, and farms with a commitment to community-focused banking.
