F&M Bank, an Archbold, OH-based community bank owned by Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. announced the opening of its newest full-service office and new regional headquarters in downtown Fort Wayne.

Northern Indiana Regional President and Chief Retail Banking Officer for F&M Bank, Andy Baker, said, “We have been eager to announce the official opening of our new office in downtown Fort Wayne and Indiana regional headquarters. We have built a solid, community-focused team here in Northern Indiana and we are thrilled to further expand our local decision-making, customized financial products, and commitment to exceptional customer service in Fort Wayne.”

F&M’s Downtown Fort Wayne office is conveniently located in the heart of the city. “We chose a central location to be a part of the outstanding growth happening in downtown Fort Wayne. We are excited to become a new downtown neighbor to so many new and growing businesses,” said Baker.

The new office and regional facility feature over 5,000 square feet with several offices, a drive-up ATM and bankers on-site to accommodate F&M’s ongoing growth and commitment to the market.

As a full-service office, F&M Bank will offer Downtown Fort Wayne comprehensive in-branch financial products, as well as online and digital banking solutions. The Fort Wayne office is staffed with five retail employees, seven commercial baking employees and a mortgage loan officer several days a week, all of whom are eager to serve the individual financial needs of the Downtown Fort Wayne community. This is the third Fort Wayne area location for F&M, which has offices located on Illinois Road and Lima Road in Huntertown. This new branch is the 14th F&M branch in the State of Indiana.

The new Downtown Fort Wayne office complements the existing F&M footprint and brings F&M’s total office network to 37 full-service locations in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
