What makes a community bank? It's really a place where we can welcome the community in our doors and that we can provide financial advice. The bank has been here since 1893. It's survived the depression, world wars, the financial crisis. During that crisis, we started talking about how much we needed our community, but also how much our community really needed us. We believe that First Merchants is a staple in the backyards of the places where our employees and our customers live and work.
