About Us

Merchants Bank is proud to be Vermont’s only independent statewide community bank. Through our actions, efforts and continued commitment, we continually prove that Vermont matters to us.

Our continuing mission is to provide Vermonters with a statewide community bank that combines a strong technology platform with a genuine appreciation for local markets. Merchants Bank delivers this commitment through a branch-based system that includes: 33 community bank offices and 40 ATMs throughout Vermont; local branch presidents and personal bankers dedicated to high-quality customer service.

We employ approximately 295 full-time employees and 40 part-time employees.

Merchants Bank was organized in 1849, and took a national charter in 1865, becoming The Merchants National Bank of Burlington, Vermont. The present name was adopted on September 6, 1974, when the Bank converted from a national bank to a state-chartered bank.

Merchants’ stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market system under the symbol MBVT.
