Against the backdrop of a shifting capex cycle in transportation and renewable power, 1st Source Corporation (NASDAQ: SRCE) filed its second-quarter 2026 investor presentation under Regulation FD. The South Bend, Indiana institution, founded in 1863, disclosed that its loan and lease book runs nearly in equal halves between community banking and specialty finance, with a renewable energy division carrying more than $741 million in outstanding loans and leases as of June 30, 2026.
A near-even loan book with cross-border reach
Community banking accounts for 52% of total loans and leases, at $3.78 billion. Specialty finance takes the remaining 48%, at $3.44 billion, and operates on a national and international footprint. The division spans auto and light truck rental, medium and heavy duty trucking, construction equipment, and general aviation aircraft including helicopters. Each of those verticals is a read-through for cross-border freight conditions, corporate travel budgets, and the broader capex cycle. Sustained higher rates, or a pullback in freight volumes, would register in those books quickly.
Renewable energy: tax equity and outstanding loans
The renewable energy financing division reported more than $741 million in loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2026, alongside over $208 million invested in tax equity partnership investments to date. Operations concentrate in the Northeast and Midwest. Projects span community solar, commercial and industrial arrays, small utility-scale installations, university and municipal builds, and energy storage. The bank estimates that financed projects avoid 432,291 metric tons of carbon greenhouse emissions annually, using the EPA's greenhouse-gas equivalencies calculator as the basis.
Digital channels and instant payments
Digital adoption among primary deposit account holders reached 71% on mobile and online platforms in Q2 2026, up from 64% in Q2 2023. Mobile users active in the prior 90 days stood at 76,800. Zelle person-to-person transactions totaled 160,500 for the quarter, up from 115,300 in Q2 2023. Both the Real Time Payments network and FedNow went live for receive and send in May 2023 and July 2023, respectively. Instant-payment send access is currently limited to business clients.
Wealth advisory and branch network
Trust and wealth advisory assets under management stand at approximately $6.6 billion across nine locations. The broader network runs to 78 banking centers, 96 ATMs, 13 insurance offices, and three loan production offices covering northern Indiana, greater Indianapolis, and southwestern Michigan. The mobile app holds a 4.8-star rating from 13,000 reviews on Apple's App Store.
On balance, the Q2 2026 filing frames 1st Source as a community bank that has extended meaningful exposure well beyond its core Midwestern deposit base. The macro caveat is rate sensitivity in the specialty finance and renewable energy books, both of which depend on project economics and corporate capital budgets that tighten when the long end of the yield curve stays elevated.
