I have been a merchant with First Merchants Bank for 20 years. We moved our sucessful business 5 hours south and have stopped doing business with them. There is no exit plan with this bank and if you try to escape, they will **** you down and threaten you if you do not pay for invented fees and now overdraft charges because of the fees they charge. We had some funds still on the account and because of the oblivious charges, we are not being charged for overdraft fees accruing daily! As I try to convene with them on the phone... read more

I am writing this letter to file a legal complaint against this bank regarding their banking efforts to ******* money from black own business bank accounts. I open this account September 7, 2018 and since I had this account this bank has *****paid out an overdraft on this account. When I opened this account, it was two things I ask about and that was ********************, and a Line of ****** for my business. I sat down with banker name ***** and when I asked her about their overdraft protection program, she said, You will h... read more

First Merchants Bank took over Monroe Bank and Trust in 2019. Since the merger, as a customer of the bank, it has been one issue after another. There is an avenue to submit issues online but issues are seldom addressed. From my perspective, the merger was a complete flop. The issues at the time of the merger were numerous and they continue to exist. As an example, over a year after the merger and originally reporting the issue, online bill payments issued from my account has payee information printed on the checks from a com... read more

If I could I would give this company -stars. My daughter took a college loan with this company dba Invested. Even though her loan was deferred they continue to harass us for payments. ES services this loan and says we own nothing until my daughter graduates. Yet we just received a summons. Merchants says we owe them almost $30,000 in interest, on a loan that is in deferment. Why is this company even presented as a choice of institutions for students loans. It is predatory and I don't even know how to afford a lawyer to comba... read more

Business response:

Susan, we are so sorry to hear that you are having problems with Merchants Bank and your daughter's student loans. However, you wrote your review for the wrong bank. This is First Merchants Bank and our bank does not offer student loan products. We hope you are able to rectify your situation with Merchants Bank.

I had went through the loan process for changing my line of credit over to a conventional loan and was pre-approved. I asked before we did the appraisal if there would be any problems later on. I was told there would be no problems at all. We did the appraisal and then the underwriter wanted me to start with the jumping through the hoops and I did as they ask.Several different things they asked for that were not mentioned in the pre-approval. In the end they denied my loan that was for less than half the value of the propert... read more

Business response:

We're sorry to hear that you had a poor experience with your loan and appraisal. We are currently investigating to determine what happened.

If I could give zero stars I would. This bank sets up accounts for the kids at a local elementary school to help show kids the value of saving. Cute idea right? Except when the child doesn't put money in on a regular basis the account charges a fee so eventually the child has nothing left and the bank essentially is stealing from an eight year old. Nice job Monroe Bank and Trust! Lesson learned by my eight year old is not to use this bank as it is bad and steals.
