Certificates of Deposit (CD)

This savings plan generally offers higher interest rates than any of our other savings plans, and your money is secure in a FDIC insured account. And CDs are flexible, too! You can choose terms from 3 months to 30 months. With that many choices, you can avoid the need for early withdrawal, which may incur a penalty.

Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

Farmers & Merchants Bank has been serving our community for a long time, and we're not going anywhere. We hope you feel the same way. That's why we believe so strongly in helping our customers ensure their financial security for retirement and beyond through a variety of retirement accounts. If you're not sure which one is right for you, we'd be glad to sit down and help you decide.

Education IRA

Health Savings Account (HSA)

This tax-advantaged account is available to those enrolled in a high deductible health plan, putting more health decisions in your hands. Contributions can be rolled over year to year and our competitive interest rates increase the higher your balance is.

Credit Cards and Ready Reserve

We also offer other credit options to those who qualify:

  • Visa Credit Card: Competitive rates and international buying power
  • Ready Reserve: A pre-approved personal line of credit, balancing your account automatically in the event it becomes overdrawn. With this product, you can avoid overdraft charges and transaction delays, ending the complication of overdrawn accounts.
