About
We’ve helped so many customers with their banking needs over the years, and there’s no doubt that we can help you too. Farmers & Merchants Bank offers so much more than personal banking—from ag banking to help your farming and ranching enterprise grow to business banking that allows you to expand your operation. Whatever it is, we’ll work with you to make sure you have everything you need.
Every time you walk into an office, you’ll always be greeted with a friendly smile and great customer service. We’ll always offer products and services that make sense for your situation. That’s the difference between banking with us versus the big guys.
We’re always open to chatting, so give us a call or swing by an office and you’ll see firsthand what makes Farmers & Merchants Bank the go-to hometown bank.
