MERRILLVILLE, IND. — Centier Bank, Indiana’s largest private, family-owned bank, is also the Best Bank to Work For in Indiana, as ranked by American Banker’s 2024 Best Banks to Work For list. Centier ranked #11 nationally in banks of all sizes and #2 across banks with assets between $3-$10 billion.

American Banker, a nationally renowned industry publication, collaborates with Best Companies Group to identify banks that excel at creating positive and supportive workplaces for employees. This year marked American Banker’s 12th annual Best Banks to Work For ranking and honored 90 banks. Centier has been included in all 12 rankings.

because it is a testament to our servant heart culture,” said Michael Schrage, CEO and Chairman of Centier Bank. “Our top priority is our desire to help and serve others, which extends to our corporate values of caring, loyalty, integrity, friendship and fun.”

“At Centier, we listen to our associates to understand their needs, and we initiate new policies based on those needs,” said Chrisanne Christ, Senior Partner in Human Resource Development. “Over the years, this has included paid mental health days, access to no-cost professional development, and free, fast access to licensed health coaches and behavioral therapists.”
