Talmer. It's a different kind of name for a bank, isn't it? Well, we're a very different kind of bank. Our name combines the last name of the grandfather of David T. Provost, Chairman and CEO of Talmer Bank and Trust (Talmage) with the last name of the grandfather of Gary Torgow, Chairman of Talmer Bancorp, Inc. (Merzon). Their grandfathers were two remarkable humanitarians who never met, but shared a common purpose - to help others and to enrich the lives of their communities.

How do the lives of men who lived decades ago affect Talmer customers today? By continuing their commitment to serve and support the local communities where we live and work.

At Talmer Bank and Trust being a community bank isn’t just our business, it’s our mission. We understand the important role a community bank plays in the growth and vitality of the area it serves and that is why we take great pride in being invested financially and emotionally in the communities we call home.
