Is The Merchants & Citizens Bank the right lender for you?

The Merchants & Citizens Bank appears in the SBA record with 1 funded loan since FY2010, too few to read as a lending pattern. That is not a mark against the institution, but it does mean the record cannot tell you whether it lends to businesses like yours. Lenders with a deeper track record in your state and industry can.
