Kickstart Your Finances

 

As we usher in 2025, now is the perfect time to start planning for a brighter financial future. Whether you’re saving for a milestone purchase, growing your retirement, or building an emergency safety net, Farmers & Merchants Bank offers the tools, products, and guidance to help you achieve your goals—and by taking small steps now, you can position yourself for success all year long. Here’s how:

1. Boost Your Savings with a Plan

A well-stocked savings account is the cornerstone of financial wellness. FMB’s savings accounts are designed to grow your money safely and consistently. Your savings can set you up for a secure year ahead no matter what you’re looking to achieve.

2. Consider CDs for Bigger Goals

Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are a smart way to earn more from your savings. By locking in your funds for a set term, you can enjoy higher interest rates while building toward major goals like buying a home or funding your child’s education.

3. Invest in Your Future with Retirement Accounts

Start 2025 by getting ahead on your retirement savings. Farmers & Merchants Bank offers Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) to help you secure your future while taking advantage of potential tax benefits.

4. Lean on Technology to Simplify Saving

FMB’s digital tools make saving and tracking your money easy. Set up automatic transfers to your savings or retirement account and use our mobile app to track your progress.

5. Give Back and Strengthen Your Community

Consider using 2025 to make charitable contributions as part of your financial plan. Not only does giving back have potential tax benefits, but it’s also a meaningful way to build a legacy.
