First Merchants Bank

"Please stay away from this bank. I had 2 items for $10 and $16 and they overdrafted me even though I had the money in there within 12 hours.I had to pay $74 in fees for a 3-4 hour $26 dollar overdraft. This bank is a joke! Huntington here I come!"

"Worst bank ever! Staff is constantly turning over. No one stays more than a couple years. Current tellers are RUDE & have ZERO customer service skills & seem to lack personalities.They withhold funds for extensive amounts of time, even when funds were confirmed, & ask invasive questions & treat customers like criminals. The only reason I am currently a customer is because they are a local bank that bought out my previous local bank Amerina, who took ZERO bail out money in 2008. The new staff is very friendly & professional"

"I love this bank. Been customer for over 10 years. Glad I did become a customer. The lady's are always nice even on Fridays. Thank you for the great service for so many years..."

"I made the biggest mistake of my life. Deposit check in the atm sat say it will be available oct.13 call back Now wont have my money until Oct. 21 bills cant wait. No one can help. Im gong be with fees due bill. Light disconnected. Think twice before making atm deposit. Now cant close my account until check."

"Let me ask the general public, how can a bank not give a receipt when there has been a withdrawal? I go to my local branch in Michigan and withdraw $1,500.00, I don't not ever get a receipt! I can ask, beg but "NO!" receipt ever from First Merchants Bank....EVER! I have actually been labeled a "troublemaker" for asking for a receipt! Either their teller software cannot generate one or they are all fruit loop "greenies" who are into saving paper! My local Monroe Bank & Trust was taken over by First Merchants a few years back. Ever since then, I cannot get a receipt with the transaction amount shown on it. All I can get is a "balance" of what is left in my account. There will come a day when they will give me the wrong amount of money and no receipt and I will sue them in local courts if I can. I am presently looking for another local bank to do my financial transactions but First Merchants has bought up all of the competition. NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH FIRST MERCHANTS BANK!"
