Atlanta, GA—October 14, 2026—State Bank, a trusted icon headquartered in Brownsburg, has been named one of the nation’s most extraordinary banks by The Institute for Extraordinary Banking™. 

The bank was honored with the prestigious Banky™ Award, a national recognition reserved for the strongest community banks that consistently deliver extraordinary impact. This award helps individuals and businesses identify the very best banks committed to serving and strengthening their local communities. 

“This recognition reflects our team’s unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve,” said Matt Price, President and CEO of State Bank. “Whether it’s investing more than $325,000 annually in local schools, nonprofits, and community organizations; supporting programs such as Family Promise, the Boys & Girls Club, Meals on Wheels, and our local community foundations; or helping small businesses grow through relationship-based banking, we believe our success is measured by the success of our communities. We are honored to receive this award, and we remain committed to listening, understanding, and being there for our customers and neighbors every day.”

The Extraordinary Banking™ Awards celebrate the essential role community banks play in fueling small business growth, elevating local economies, and weaving themselves deeply into the fabric of the communities they serve. 

“Community banks recognize the aspirations, dreams, and silent hopes of small businesses and families,” said Roxanne Emmerich, Chair and Founder of The Institute for Extraordinary Banking. “The heart and soul of an extraordinary bank is its visionary blueprint for its community’s success—and its commitment to making that vision real. This year’s honorees, our Top 5 Percenters™, embody that standard of excellence.”
