First Illinois Corporation agreed to merge with First Financial Corporation, resulting in the merger of Hickory Point Bank into First Financial Bank, N.A., with closing targeted for Q4 2026.

First Illinois Corporation announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with First Financial Corporation under which Hickory Point Bank will merge with First Financial Bank, N.A., a national bank headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana with approximately $6.1 billion in assets and over 85 banking centers. The internal email to colleagues describes the combination as a strategic move made from a position of strength to secure increased resources for technology, security, talent, products, and client capabilities while preserving a community banking culture and local relationships in Central Illinois.
