What Our Partners Say...

We appreciate Merchants Bank. They respond to our needs promptly, are professional and solve problems with a common-sense approach. From initial application to end-loan support for our customers they are a great partner!

Tessa Formanek

Senior Mortgage Lending Officer United Community Bank

Our relationship with Merchants Bank goes back over 22 years. We have been together through many mortgage changes. We have always had a great experience with Merchants Bank. We especially like the full service program. They do an excellent job with that program and it allows the lender more time to reach out to new customers.
