Ohio Bank to Shut Branches

First Financial Bancorp in Cincinnati will close five branches obtained from failed-bank purchases.

The $6.2 billion-asset company said Wednesday it will shut four branches in Michigan and one in Louisville, Ky. The branches belonged to Irwin Union Bank and Trust Co. and Irwin Union Bank, which were bought with government assistance in 2009.

The closings will take place by March 31.
