First Financial Bancorp plans to close eight area bank branches June 29,
including previously reported branch closings in Lebanon and Lewisburg.
The Cincinnati-based banking company said Wednesday in its first-quarter
earnings release nine total locations would close, eight of which are in
Ohio and one in Indiana. Branches in Dayton, Centerville, Springboro, Mason
and the Cincinnati area are among those to be closed.
First Financial in 2011 acquired 16 Dayton-area locations of Liberty Savings
Bank.
“Our acquisition of Liberty Savings Bank undoubtedly expanded our presence and
commitment to the Greater Dayton area. It’s prudent for us to look at the
region and consider service areas where there is some overlap with existing
First Financial banking centers and the former Liberty Savings offices,”
Jill Wyman, First Financial co-chief retail banking officer, said.
As for the impact on jobs, Wyman said First Financial is “working to develop
an individualized approach that we believe will have the best outcome for
our associates and the company.”
First Financial reported first quarter net income of $17 million.
