When you've been around for as long as we have, you learn a thing or two...
From our beginnings as the community bank in Muncie in 1893 to the formation of the Corporation in 1982, First Merchants Corporation is the largest financial holding company based in Central Indiana - with 65 banking centers that service 17 Indiana and three Ohio counties.
First Merchants Bank, the largest of the four banks within the holding company, is headquartered in Muncie and offers a full array of financial services including trust, investment, and insurance to more than 50,000 customers throughout East Central Indiana and Butler County, Ohio.
We've always been the local bank, but now we have access to the resources of the largest bank holding company headquartered in Central Indiana. Broader lending capabilities, more banking centers and ATMs around the state, and a wider array of product offerings makes banking with us easy. Knowing that as we continue to grow our commitment to you will not change makes banking with us smart.
