Produced by Fiserv and TB Media Group, this video tells the story of Generations Community Bank, Indiana’s first mission-driven financial institution, and the Indianapolis community it aims to serve.
Step inside the story behind Generations Community Bank, Indiana’s first mission-driven financial institution — and the Indianapolis community that inspired it.
The video opens with the energy of Generations Community Bank’s grand opening celebration at its downtown location, then pulls back to reveal a deeper story: a city experiencing real economic growth, but one that hasn’t reached everyone equally. From there, you’ll hear a moving firsthand account from a speaker who arrived in Indianapolis as a refugee and settled among the Chin community — a story about hard work, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream.
Along the way, the video touches on a redevelopment project taking shape on a two-acre site once home to an old bank, and introduces the Indianapolis Recorder, a 130-year-old publication that started as a church bulletin and grew into the nation’s third-oldest African-American newspaper — still serving as a vital voice for the community today.
At the center of it all is a simple but urgent problem: many entrepreneurs know how to work hard, but not how to access capital or navigate the financial system. That’s the gap Generations Community Bank was built to close, with a mission focused on economic mobility, generational wealth-building, and measurable outcomes like increased home and business ownership.
It’s a story about Hoosier values in action — community, hospitality, and a genuine commitment to showing up for one another. Watch the full video to see how it all comes together.
