First Merchants's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers


The Bank operates in counties across Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. It competes with a range of financial institutions, including national, regional, and internet banks; smaller community banks; savings and loan associations; credit unions; finance companies; brokerage firms; insurance companies; and other financial intermediaries. The financial services industry is characterized by increasing competition driven by legislative, regulatory, and technological changes, as well as industry consolidation. Nonbank competitors often face fewer regulatory constraints and have lower cost structures, allowing them to offer products traditionally provided by banks.
