Monroe Bank & Trust

Monroe Bank & Trust was established in January 1905, originally serving the financial needs of the community in Monroe, Michigan. Over the years, the institution expanded its footprint and services within the financial sector. In October 2008, Monroe Bank & Trust acquired Main Street Bank located in Northville, Michigan, as part of a government-assisted merger, which allowed it to strengthen its presence in the state. The bank continued to operate until September 1, 2019, when it merged with First Merchants Bank, based in Muncie, Indiana, thus becoming part of a larger banking entity. This merger marked the end of Monroe Bank & Trust as an independent institution.
