The bank is focused on driving growth through the delivery of an enhanced experience for personal and business customers.

“Our customers have a great deal of choice in where they bank,” said Cindy Kovach, Chief Operating Officer, Farmers & Merchants Savings Bank. “The Fiserv technology platform will enable us to offer additional products, such as checking accounts tailored to different customer needs, so we can stand out and give people more reasons to bank with us.”

Farmers & Merchants Savings Bank will implement the Premier^® core account processing platform from Fiserv, as well as integrated solutions for retail and business online banking, mobile banking, business analytics and more.
