pace, so we don’t want to do anything overly dramatic to change our core model,” says Myers. “But we’re always looking for new technologies. I am personally involved with the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) and we have something called the ThinkTECH accelerator where we review and help small businesses that are bringing new technology to banks. We want to work together with entrepreneurs to show them how they can apply their inventions to the banking sector.” Morton agrees, noting, “For the most part, we want to keep doing what we’ve been doing because it’s produced great results. We want to continue achieving controlled growth while maintaining our high standards so that the customer service experience is exceptional. It’s important that we maintain our excellent reputation and continue to be the go-to bank in this market when someone wants a smaller bank solution.” As Farmers & Merchants Bank looks ahead to its centenary celebrations, the message is clear: continue serving the local community, supporting businesses, and keeping an open mind for new opportunities. It’s an approach that has worked well for almost one hundred years – and there’s no reason for it to change now.
