Mercantile Bank of Michigan was founded in 1997 by Directors and Bankers who firmly believe that customers, employees, and the communities they live in, are best served by financial institutions with local roots. At Mercantile Bank, we use our local Directors, our commitment to the community, and our knowledge of Michigan to enable us to deliver our services in a way that truly sets us apart from our competitors. We believe mutually beneficial relationship banking, on both the consumer and corporate levels is key to strengthening the communities we serve.
