The new Fort Wayne MarkleBank offers a full range of financial services, including personal and commercial banking, financial planning, and insurance products and services. Customers will find personal bankers ready to assist them, and have access to the lobby’s self-service online kiosks to conduct transactions. The branch also features self-service lock boxes, drive-up service, and 24-hour ATM access.
To mark the occasion of the Fort Wayne opening, MarkleBank held a weeklong series of Grand Opening Events, from January 31 through February 5. All week long, customers registered to win a year’s lease on a 2005 Mini Cooper (restrictions apply); each day also marked specific specials and promotions, such as:

The new MarkleBank is located in the West Jefferson Market Square development, west of Covington Plaza on the south side of West Jefferson Boulevard. Design Collaborative of Fort Wayne designed the branch; the general contractor was Baker and Sons.
MarkleBank was founded in 1947 and currently has five other branch locations, in Markle, Huntington, Warren, and two in Bluffton. In November 2004, MarkleBank’s holding company, MarBanc Financial Corporation, announced plans to merge with the holding company of another Fort Wayne area community bank, Grabill Bank. Both banks, with combined assets of over $750 million, will continue to operate independently under separate names as part of the Independent Alliance Banks, Inc. holding company.
