SUMMIT, FIB ALIGN

Summit Global Partners and First Internet Bank have formed an alliance to offer Internet-accessed insurance and financial products and services to businesses. Summit will make online insurance and bonding services available, as well as group life and health insurance and online training for First Internet Bank’s customers. In return, First Internet Bank’s products will be offered to Summit’s customers and will become a part of its commercial Internet portal. Summit, incorporated in 1995, is one of the 25 largest insurance brokerage, risk management and employee benefit consulting firms in the U.S. Indianapolis-based First Internet Bank began offering a full suite of banking services in February of 1999, providing customers with real-time processing and 24-hour services via the Internet. It was the first state-chartered, FDIC-insured bank to operate solely over the Internet.
