About 1st Source Corporation
About 1st Source Corporation
1st Source Corporation reported $9.06 billion in total assets, $7.05 billion in loans and leases, and $7.23 billion in deposits at December 31, 2025, operating through 1st Source Bank's 78 banking centers in 19 Indiana and Michigan counties plus Sarasota County, Florida. The holding company is regulated by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the FDIC, and employs approximately 1,190 full-time equivalent colleagues.
1st Source derives revenue from two primary activities: traditional commercial and consumer banking in northern Indiana and Michigan, and nationwide Specialty Finance Group lending across four equipment categories. Commercial banking serves privately owned businesses with industrial and commercial real estate loans, equipment financing, treasury management, and retirement planning. The Specialty Finance Group—operating through subsidiaries including SFG Aircraft, Michigan Transportation Finance Corporation, and SFG Equipment Leasing Corporation I from 15 nationwide locations—finances construction equipment (relationships up to $40 million), aircraft including selective international transactions in Mexico and Brazil (up to $30 million), auto and light truck fleet vehicles, and medium and heavy duty trucks. Trust and wealth advisory services add fee income from individual, estate, corporate, and not-for-profit clients. Competition comes from regional affiliates of large bank holding companies, credit unions, securities firms, and insurance companies; the company relies on community-based, personalized service rooted in northern Indiana since 1863.
Show full overview
The company's commercial loan book, deposit base, and consumer mortgage portfolio concentrate in 19 Indiana and Michigan counties—a geography directly tied to the construction, transportation, and aviation industries that drive Specialty Finance Group credit quality. The 10-K explicitly states that the Specialty Finance lending portfolio is 'concentrated in certain equipment types,' and that construction and transportation clients could be adversely affected by sudden fuel cost changes and cyclical downturns—risks that would strike the geographic and equipment concentrations simultaneously. Aircraft relationships in Mexico and Brazil introduce currency risk, as dollar-denominated debts may face elevated delinquency during periods of peso or real depreciation.
