A bank in Wabash has changed its name rather than go on battling confusion over seven other banks in the state operating with First Federal as part of their names – three of them within 50 miles.

“A lot of times we look at something and we can’t do it because how can you go into a market with another First Federal,” said President and CEO Roger Cromer. “How would we distinguish ourselves?”
