MainSource Bank was a community bank located in Greensburg, Indiana. The company was the operating subsidiary of the MainSource Financial Group. It operated banks in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio.[2] On May 25, 2018, all MainSource locations closed as part of the acquisition by First Financial Bancorp. Most locations reopened May 29, 2018 as First Financial Bank locations, but some locations remained closed if there was a redundant location nearby.
The United States Treasury purchased $57 million in shares of MainSource Financial Group under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The Treasury sold all of its shares in the company in March 2012.[3]
History
In February 2002, Indiana United Bancorp announced plans to consolidating the holding company's many separate banking units throughout the state of Indiana that operated under various names into a single bank to be named MainSource Bank, starting with the merger of the two largest units, People's Trust Co. of Brookville, and Union Bank of Greensburg in March to form an operating unit with 35 banking offices in 14 Indiana counties.[4] The other subsidiary banks were also merged into MainSource as soon as the necessary regulatory approvals were obtained. At the same time, it was announced that the name of holding company was going to be changed to MainSource Financial Group, which was completed in May with its Nasdaq trading symbol changed from IUBC to MSFG.[5]
In March 2005, MainSource Financial Group announced the pending acquisition of the Madison-based Madison Bank & Trust Company from National City Corporation for an undisclosed amount.[6][7] The acquisition was completed in August 2005.[8]
In the early 2010s, MainSource Financial Group expanded into new territories within Southern Indiana by opening new branches in Columbus, Seymour and Bloomington.[9]
In early 2016, MainSource expanded into the Cincinnati market by acquiring Cheviot Savings Bank. Cheviot locations closed at the end of May 2016, and reopened as MainSource locations.
On July 25, 2017, MainSource Financial Group and First Financial Bancorp entered into a definitive merger agreement. MainSource is expected to merge into First Financial in the first quarter of 2018.[10]
The merger of MainSource and First Financial was official on April 1, 2018. Branches were converted to First Financial branding on May 29, 2018. [11]

Employees of Madison Bank and Trust Co. were informed this morning that National City will sell their bank to MainSource Financial Group. Madison Bank and Trust didn't fit into National City's "branding," a National City executive said in the transaction announcement issued by MainSource... Madison Bank and Trust Co. became a wholly owned subsidiary of National City with National City's acquisition of Merchants National Corp. in 1991. "Since then, they have maintained the Madison identity, operating under a separate charter," James Hughes, National City's executive vice president, retail branch network, said in the Web site posting.

In the last few years, as it emerged from the recession (and a loss of $65 million in 2009), the bank opened three branches in Columbus between 2010 and 2012, extended its reach into Seymour and opened a branch in downtown Indianapolis in late 2012. Last year, the bank opened a full-service branch in Bloomington and added commercial banking team in Louisville. A full-service branch in Louisville is planned for this year, and another for Bloomington in 2015.
