“What we appreciate most about FNBM is their expertise in business lending and their genuine commitment to understanding our firm’s needs. As a continuously growing CPA firm, we needed a banking partner who could confidently navigate the world of commercial real estate financing, and FNBM delivered exactly that. Their team really understands the unique challenges of the CRE market, and they work with you to structure financing that makes  sense.”

“I’ve always preferred working with a local bank with real people I know who respond to me in a timely manner. Their various social and annual economic update events connect me to the whole banking team – which deepens our ability to work effectively together. Our recent business acquisition required an SBA loan which is a demanding process. The team came together to help i3 both grow and extend job creation right here in West Michigan.”
