Shares of Indianapolis-based First Internet Bancorp slipped in their first day on the NASDAQ exchange, dropping 2.5 percent during trading on Friday.

Shares finished the day at $28.50, a 75-cent decline from their opening price of $29.25.

The parent of First Internet Bank announced in December that it had filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to make the move to NASDAQ from the over-the-counter board. Its new ticker symbol is INBK.

The shares had been listed on the thinly traded over-the-counter market under the FIBP ticker since 2005. Shares closed Thursday at $27.74 each.

Chairman and CEO David Becker founded First Internet Bank in 1999. The bank has no branches and has 102 employees at its headquarters at 9200 Keystone Crossing.

"We are pleased to be joining NASDAQ, as it includes more regional and community banks than any other U.S. exchange,” Becker said in a prepared statement. ”The board of directors believes that our plan to move from the over-the-counter market to NASDAQ will improve the visibility of our stock and enhance trading liquidity in our shares, which provides a long-term benefit to our shareholders."

On Tuesday, First Internet announced plans to add 48 jobs as part of a $4.3 million expansion into Fishers.

  1. RKW's comments read like a modern "Chicken Little". As a Raintree resident for many years, "Yes, I'm ready for this." Matter of fact, I welcome The Farm because it's a development that compliments our town, brings new and desirable shopping & dining closer (specialty grocer, upscale shops, micro brew pub, etc), offers upscale condos for empty nesters who want to stay in Zionsville, is being planned and constructed by local, well-reputed firms and, of course, provides desirable non property tax benefits. We all knew the Pittman's were going to develop their property sooner than later. That one of the Pittman's will continue to live on the property helps assure The Farm will be everything promised. This also sets a standard for other developers as to the quality of future developments - which should keep an ugly Walmart at bay for decades. As we've no meglomaniac mayor, I seriously doubt Zionsville would ever aspire to over-priced statues or subsidized retail rents. And we already have a very nice public theater, the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, that meets our cultural needs quite nicely.

  2. Do we add (or subtract) these from the bounty we recieve from RTWFL, Daylight Savings Time, corporate tax giveaways, and the crack job IEDC is doing?? Or is Mike going to blame these on Mitch?

  3. Who makes Tater Tots? They would be a good sponsor, because $3 Million for the alleged "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" is taters. Tiny, tiny taters. But at least they are making up something of the losses accumulated over the years in this dying sport. Buttock in seat is certainly not doing it, nor eyeball on TV, as evidenced by the lack of both.

  4. We loved lakehouse and think the Arbor Village would be a great location. It is less than 2 miles from over 1000 rooftops in the 225,000 to over 1 million range. Many people could use the great fishers trail system to bike or walk there. Just an idea Scotty -- but maybe something closer to 3 Wiseman would good. The only microbrew in area is Ram (boring)

  5. True, it's an ESPN production, but ESPN is just another name for ABC Sports, or what used to be ABC Sports since ABC Sports no longer exists as a name. ESPN=ABC Sports= ESPN. ESPN is, according to Forbes "the world's most valuable media property" worth $40 billion. Despite that, they fired 400 people this week.
