As a community centric organization, we believe it is important to have a presence in our communities and our new Fort Wayne office will be staffed with local bankers to serve customers, where decisions can be made locally. We look forward to providing our leading, community-focused financial services to customers across Northeast Indiana.”
The new full-service office will offer the latest banking technology to serve customers.

The new Fort Wayne office complements the existing F&M office network in Indiana, which includes Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Jay and Steuben Counties. This will bring F&M’s total Indiana office network to 10 full-service locations, as well as a Loan Production Office in Muncie, Indiana.
