Every organization has a story--a core set of beliefs and values that tells the world who they are and what they represent. Forcht Bank's story is the one of our founder Terry Forcht. Long before Terry Forcht was known and recognized as one of Kentucky’s foremost entrepreneurs, he was a college professor and small-town lawyer practicing in Corbin, KY. In 1972, Terry was asked to join the Board of Directors at Corbin Deposit Bank & Trust. Having had an interest in banking since working for the Federal Reserve while attending the University of Louisville, Terry Forcht began his journey into banking.
