What 1st Source does

South Bend, Indiana bank offering commercial and retail banking plus specialty equipment and aircraft leasing finance.

Earns mostly from net interest on loans funded by Indiana and Michigan deposits, with national specialty lending to equipment and aircraft buyers adding loans that do not depend on the local economy. Fee income from wealth management and trust services is a smaller addition.
