Mercantile Bank

Mercantile Bank was founded in 1997 by Directors and Bankers who firmly believe that the customers, employees, and the communities they live in, are best served by financial institutions with local ties. Mercantile has a strong and extensive commercial and retail banking presence in Michigan, offering innovative technology products that are second to none.

And today, as we look into the future, our belief in mutually beneficial relationship banking on both the consumer and corporate levels is key to strengthening the communities we live and serve. This personal focus will enable us to deliver our services in a way that truly sets us apart from our competitors.

In 2014 Mercantile Bank and Firstbank Corporation completed a merger of equals to form, at the time, the fourth largest Michigan-based bank by deposit market share, but our combined roots go deep into each of the local communities we serve. Both organizations brought together a history of local decision making, unparalleled customer service and the ability to create premier community banks throughout Michigan. Today, Mercantile Bank is the third largest Michigan-based bank by deposit market share. We are proud of our history and are working hard to ensure that our organization continues to serve the needs of all our markets for generations to come.
