“After 98 years, we are

giving ourselves a new first name.”

"For nearly a century. Merchants National Bank has been an institution of 'firsts'... finding better ways to meet your banking needs, setting a standard for community service, and establishing a record of financial strength which has been recognized nationally. "With all of this in mind, we have modified the bank's name to reflect our history of leadership and to challenge ourselves to uphold that tradition. "Under the name First Merchants Bank, we will continue to build our strength as we have from the beginning — as a community bank. In fact, we will now share the same identity as our holding company, First Merchants Corporation, which is based here in Muncie. "The name First Merchants Bank is also a means of distinguishing us from other Merchants Banks as we grow in central Indiana. "At First Merchants Bank, you'll find the same people } ready to help you, the same products and convenience c you've always enjoyed and, above all, the same commitment to going beyond what you expect from a bank. "On behalf of everyone at First Merchants, I'd like to extend our appreciation to our customers and our community for making our strength possible. Our commitment to being first with you is in our name!"
