Someone once helped you choose where to bank. While you may not be able to reward them… you can pay it forward and return the favor. Refer a friend or family member to open an account and you could both be rewarded when they open an eligible checking account. https://trst.in/RuijM8

Last month, our East Central Indiana communities were impacted by devastating flash flooding. As families and businesses continue to recover, we're proud to partner with organizations like Heart of Indiana United Way to help provide resources, support, and a path forward for those affected. Together, we're working to strengthen the communities we call home.

💙 Thank you, First Merchants Bank!

Heart of Indiana United Way is grateful to Merchants for making a generous contribution to our Long-Term Flood Recovery Fund.

Recovery doesn’t end when the water recedes. Families and communities impacted by flooding can face challenges for weeks, months and even years as they work to rebuild. Support from partners like First Merchants helps ensure resources are available when they’re needed most.

Thank you, First Merchants, for standing with our neighbors and helping communities across East Central Indiana move forward together. **United is the way.** 💙

This is more than work experience. It's an investment in students, our communities, and the next generation of banking professionals. Looking for more information? Visit our latest press release 👉️https://trst.in/ekWP3n
