Chemical Bank

Chemical Bank, originally established as Chemical Bank and Trust Company on March 14, 1917, in Michigan, underwent significant transformations and expansions throughout its history. In 2006, the institution adopted the name Chemical Bank after acquiring several banks, including Chemical Bank Shoreline in Benton Harbor and Chemical Bank West in Walker. The bank continued to expand, acquiring multiple regional banks, such as the Bank of Northern Michigan and Talmer Bank and Trust, over the following decade. On November 1, 2014, it merged with Northwestern Bank in Traverse City, Michigan. This trend of mergers and acquisitions culminated in significant mergers with TCF National Bank in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on August 1, 2019, and ultimately, on June 9, 2021, Chemical Bank became part of The Huntington National Bank, based in Columbus, Ohio. Throughout its history, Chemical Bank played a crucial role in regional banking in Michigan before its consolidation into larger banking institutions.
