The Farmers & Merchants Bank

The Farmers & Merchants Bank was established on April 9, 1895, originally serving the needs of the local community. Over its long history, the bank underwent various changes and expansions. In 1991, it changed its trust powers to full status, a change that was reaffirmed in 1995. A significant milestone occurred on December 3, 2004, when The Farmers & Merchants Bank acquired the Bank of Dyer, located in Dyer, Tennessee. Subsequently, on January 22, 2013, the bank moved its main office to 110 South Main Street in Dyer, Tennessee. The bank's operations continued until August 15, 2020, when it merged with Security Bank and Trust Company, located in Paris, Tennessee, marking the end of its independent existence.
