What We Do
The Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (FHLBank Indianapolis) is one of 11 independent regional cooperative banks across the U.S. We’re privately capitalized and owned by our member banks, credit unions, community development financial institutions (CDFIs), and insurers across Indiana and Michigan. As a cooperative, we pass our borrowing benefits in the global debt markets on to our members in the form of lower borrowing costs, which are subsequently passed on to consumers, businesses and communities. Our core mission is to provide a reliable source of liquidity to member banks, credit unions, community development financial institutions, and insurance companies to support housing finance, asset-liability management, and community lending. We also help communities and families through grants and low-cost loans to our members that help support affordable housing and economic development initiatives.
