Provides commercial and consumer banking through Stock Yards Bank & Trust, including business and real estate lending, deposits, treasury management, cards, mortgages, private banking, and correspondent services. Its Wealth Management & Trust segment adds investment management, financial and retirement planning, trust and estate administration, and employer retirement-plan services.
Generates recurring wealth and trust fees alongside spread-based lending, while the Field & Main acquisition extended the branch network into western Kentucky. The bank now operates 81 offices across Kentucky and the Indianapolis and Cincinnati metropolitan markets.
