Republic Bank Rises into Top 10 of Forbes’ Renowned List of America’s Best Banks

In its second consecutive year on the list, Republic is the highest ranked Kentucky-based bank in both
2024 and 2025, and the only one to break the top 10. 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 19, 2025) – Forbes recently unveiled its much anticipated 2025 America’s Best Banks list, and Republic Bank & Trust Company (“Republic” or “the Bank”) is proud to announce that it has secured the number nine position nationally.
“We’re incredibly honored to have made Forbes respected America’s Best Banks list again this year, moving into the top 10 in 2025,” Republic Bank President and CEO Logan Pichel said. “This honor, along with our high Net Promoter Score that is nearly three times the banking industry average, is proof positive of our unyielding commitment to provide all of our clients banking services and security they can rely on, along with the great customer service they deserve.”
In addition to Kentucky, Republic has retail banking centers serving communities in Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Tennessee, along with a loan office in Missouri.
Forbes evaluated 11 metrics that measured growth, credit quality and profitability for the 12 months ending September 30, 2024, as well as stock performance in the 12 months through January 10, 2025, for consideration for the 2025 America’s Best Banks list. The nation’s 200 largest publicly traded banks and thrifts by assets were automatically eligible for the 2025 list.
“This recognition for Republic Bank is a testament to the strength and stability we’ve built and continue to grow since the Bank was founded more than 40 years ago. While we’re proud to be the only Kentucky-based bank in the top 10, this fosters peace of mind and confidence among our clients, associates and the communities we serve in each of our markets,” Republic Bank Executive Chair Steve Trager added.

This honor follows shortly after recognition for Republic Bank by Newsweek on its America’s Best Regional Banks list for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) as well as a Top 50 Community Bank (2024) by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Economic Update | The Economy Pivot

submitted by
Uric Dufrene, Ph.D., Sanders Chair in Business, Indiana University Southeast

The consumer represents 2/3rds of the economy, and despite record-high inflation, has been the major driver of the macroeconomy’s economic growth. Preliminary estimates show, for example, that the last quarter of 2024 would have seen negative growth had it not been for the robust consumer. Even with consumer sentiment hitting lows that previously were associated with recessions, the consumer was not deterred, and the economy forged ahead. Our last Economic Update introduced the possibility of fading consumer optimism and the impact on the overall economy. For example, small business optimism saw one of the largest increases following the election. More recent surveys are now pointing to a decline in optimism, and more troubling, is a significant spike in uncertainty.      

The most recent consumer sentiment survey showed a further decline in consumer optimism, along with expected price increases a year out, the highest reading since 1995.  Sentiment data have shifted to the expectation of higher prices, added confirmation with the release of the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showing hotter than expected inflation. As Economic Update pointed out last year, we will likely see fewer interest rate reductions this year, if any. The latest inflation data, inflation expectations, and the labor market have pushed any rate changes back until the earliest of the 4th quarter of this year.    

Are we about to see a pivot with consumers and the recent behavioral patterns connected to consumer optimism?  The last retail sales report saw one of the steepest drops in retail spending since 2020. Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, saw sales and earnings per share come in weaker than expected.  More alarming, however, was the guidance issued expressing concerns with uncertainties in consumer behavior, global economic conditions, and geopolitical factors. Walmart stock plummeted as investors reacted to the slower growth forecasts.   

Emerging from the pandemic, the goods economy was quite strong. Goods spending boomed, and manufacturing benefited as a result. Indiana and Kentucky saw strong growth in payrolls. Since then, goods spending subsided, manufacturing entered a slump, and the service side of the economy propelled growth. Cracks are beginning to surface with services, the engine of the overall economy. A recent survey of purchasing managers saw the largest decline in the index since mid-2022.  The index remains above 50, indicating expansion, but the magnitude and abruptness of the decline could indicate an emerging shift in the economy. While the overall index signifies overall expansion in the economy, the services component of the index showed contraction. If there was a silver lining, pricing in the service sector cooled, with prices showing the smallest monthly increase since the pandemic.   

Closer to home, Louisville Metro ended the year with a gain of 6,000 plus payrolls and an unemployment rate of 4.4%, close to the Economic Update forecast of 8,000 payrolls and an unemployment rate of 4.5%. These data are preliminary, but the takeaway is that payroll growth was softer in 2024 than prior years. Healthcare led to all job gains, and without the sector’s strong growth, Louisville would have seen flat to negative job growth. 

The Economic Update outlook was favorable for 2025 and expecting stronger growth from 2024. That will likely change, as the economy pivots, perhaps unexpectedly, to a self-inflicted slower growth phase, along with sticky prices. Not a good combination for consumer optimism.

1si President Lance Allison says opportunities in Southern Indiana are ‘wide open’ 

By: Andrew Harp at News and Tribune 

See full story here

SOUTHERN INDIANA — By mid-March, it will have been one year since Murray, Kentucky native Lance Allison was hired as the new president/CEO of One Southern Indiana. 

“It’s been an incredible year,” he said. 

Allison said the first few months of his tenure involved getting onboarded with 1si so he can learn about the organization and the processes. 

He said he also asked questions about things he needs to know to be an effective leader. 

“It’s just starting to feel more comfortable each month that goes by,” he said. 

This process also includes meeting a lot of people including chamber members, community members and attending various events. 

“Even though I’ve only been here for a year, it really feels like I’ve been here for a long time … it’s surprising that a year has already gone,” he said. 

Going forward, Allison said while he doesn’t want to necessarily change the course of the organization, he does want to find ways in which they could “evolve” it. 

He’s thankful for the previous 1si president/CEO, State Rep. Wendy Dant Chesser, who he said built the foundation of the organization. 

“I’m truly grateful for her and what she did prior to me coming here, because it allows us to do that evolution,” he said. 

In the next few months, before the next fiscal year in July, Allison said 1si will start to look at the evolution of economic development in the area to see where it’s going and by expanding and retaining that presence. 

He said as the River Ridge Commerce Center continues to fill up and will eventually become full, they’re looking for where other opportunities might be in 1si’s service area of Floyd, Clark and Scott counties. 

From the perspective of the chamber itself, he said they need to discuss and ask if their programming is meeting the needs of the members, whoever they are. 

“Everything right now is kind of in its development stages, but I would really like to see us add on to what we’re doing great now with something that’s truly impactful to every member,” he said. 

Overall, he said the people in Southern Indiana have been welcoming and friendly. He said he’s particularly impressed with the local elected officials. 

“The partnerships that we’ve created with all of the townships, with all the cities, with all the counties, have been really great,” he said. 

He said with 1si, they want to work with each community and recognize the trends that may be happening in each one and work with them to achieve that. 

“I think the opportunities are wide open,” he said. 

Allison said there has been $2.4 billion in capital investment for economic development in the area the past 16 months. 

He said challenges in the future will include that as industry grows, how will the outer areas grow with it in terms of housing, infrastructure, stores, services and other structures. 

“The challenge then becomes making sure that you have that healthy ecosystem of businesses to support that growth,” he said.
