Monroe Bank & Trust
 
 
Overview: 

We live in a world rife with bank mergers and distrust of financial institutions. Many banks operate with executive decision-makers located hundreds of miles from a local branch. But MBT is very different.

Since 1858 - through the ups and downs of an unpredictable world and a changeable economy – MBT has endured, grown and remained locally owned and operated.


We actively reinvest in our communities and support over 200 regional charities, schools, non-profits, civic organizations and community events  with both financial contributions and with MBT employee volunteers.

Our executive officers and board of directors understand the challenges you face and the needs you have because. like you:  they live, work and raise their families in our local southeast Michigan and northwest Ohio communities.

Our customers' judge how well we meet their banking and investment expectations every day. Most recently, MBT was voted Monroe County’s Favorite Bank in a recent newspaper poll from among a field of national, regional and local financial institutions.

Our dedication to improving the financial and community wellbeing of our customers - combined with exceptional expertise in personal and business banking, retirement planning, investing and wealth management - provides our customers World Class Banking with a Local Address.
History: 

1858 – Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt was born.  Abraham Lincoln and Steven Douglas debated seven times for a US Senate seat.  Charles Darwin presented a paper to the Linnean Society of London foreshadowing his theory of evolution.  Michigan had been a state for only 21 years.  

In Monroe, Michigan, general store owner Benjamin Dansard and local businessman Louis Lafountain recognized the need for a bank where residents could place their money for safekeeping, and from which loans could be made to finance community projects, stimulate business growth, and help area farmers and residents prosper.  Dansard State Bank was chartered and opened for business.  Even from its humble beginnings in the back of the Dansard General Store, the Bank played an integral role in the promise and progress of the region.

The Bank‘s first major trial came with the Civil War, followed by the severe, national economic depression of the 1890’s. Numerous railroad systems went out of business, more than 500 banks closed, over 16,000 businesses declared bankruptcy and more than 4 million workers lost their jobs.  But in southeastern Michigan, the Bank, now called Dansard & Son Bank, held firm.  Combining sound financial stewardship with compassionate but judicious lending, the Bank not only survived the period, but stood as a bastion protecting the area’s families, farms and businesses.

The tradition of putting the welfare of the community first has been mutually rewarding for the Bank and the region.   Through our nation's wars, recessions and economic depressions, the Bank grew and served the ever-increasing needs of  residents and businesses.  In 1968, the name changed to Monroe Bank & Trust.    
And Trust:  

MBT inaugurated trust services in 1942.  

To a banker, “Trust”  refers to a strategy and document providing financial benefits for people and/or organizations. With many types of Trusts, a financial professional can invest the money placed in the Trust to increase the amount of money initially put into the plan.   

To a customer, “Trust” also means “I believe that you will manage my assets, protect my property and invest my money wisely.”    

MBT has to be proactive, knowledgeable and results-oriented – because our customers are our neighbors.  Our success rests upon our reputation for managing the assets of our customers, growing their investments, enhancing the quality of their lives and helping them realize the dreams they cherish for themselves and their families.   MBT has been guiding customer trusts, estates and investments in southeastern Michigan and northern Ohio for well over half a century.
