As part of the process in the merger of Home Savings Bank and First Federal Bank, the unification of the two companies will now be known as Premier Bank.

The announcement was planned as part of the strategic merger and upcoming integration of the two bank systems set to be complete in July of 2020.

"I'm truly excited to announce this upcoming name change that will bring together all of our branches under one brand," stated Donald P. Hileman, CEO of First Federal Bank and Home Savings Bank. "We achieved our goal of selecting a name that represents and honors the commitment both banks have made to our customers and communities by providing the best in financial partnerships for over a century."

The combined 77 branches will begin adopting the Premier Bank name and new branding in June with the transition being complete by mid-July.

Additional details of the new brand will continue to be developed and released in the coming months.
