Looking for Attentive
Commercial Banking?

Bank on a First Name Basis
As soon as you enter a Mercantile
Bank office, you notice the
difference. We take a personal
interest in our commercial
customers
. Because we know
you and your business, we are
ready to assist you with the
opportunities and challenges you face.

As a neighborhood bank, we're
small enough to know each of our
customers by name, but large
enough to provide all the commercial
banking services you need
. And
whenever you want to talk with one
of our commercial lenders, just visit
our neighborhood offices.

You don't need an appointment. And if
you're seeking advice on strategic
plans, succession management, facilities
expansion or international services, ask
one of our helpful commercial lenders.

MasterCard SecureCode™
MasterCard SecureCode enables you to
approve and sign a purchase receipt
whenever shopping online at a MasterCard
SecureCode merchant.You are protected
since you approve each purchase with your
own private SecureCode.

How does it work?
After you've registered your existing card and created your personal SecureCode you will be automatically prompted at checkout to provide your SecureCode each time you make a purchase with a participating online merchant.

Entering your SecureCode during a purchase at a participating online merchant confirms that you are the authorized cardholder and your purchase is then completed. If an incorrect SecureCode is entered, the purchase will not be completed. Without your personal SecureCode, a purchase cannot be completed even if someone knows your credit or debit card number.

If you have any questions or would like more information please stop by any Mercantile Bank location or call 617.247.2800.
