True financial empowerment starts right here.

First Merchants Bank just opened a full-service branch in the heart of Fitzgerald, bringing real access to banking, credit-friendly programs, and long-term investment for the community.

Residents in Fitzgerald, Bagley, and Martin Park can now build savings, buy a home, or invest in their future—with programs starting at a 600 credit score.

To top it off, First Merchants invested $77,500 into five local organizations making a real impact within our city: Live6, McNichols Business Association, Brilliant Detroit, Detroit Boys Mentoring Club, and the Higginbotham Community Fund.

This is what real investment looks like. Follow us for more stories of growth in Detroit!
