FDIC institution record
Farmers and Merchants Bank
Buckeye, AZ
● Inactive — closed or merged
This FDIC certificate (#22852) belonged to an institution that is no longer an active FDIC-insured bank — it was closed, merged, or wound down. This record does not carry the closure date or the successor institution; FDIC BankFind does, and you should check it before concluding anything about a party using this name today. Note for awareness: a defunct bank's name reappearing on a live solicitation is a known impersonation pattern — verify the current entity at the source first.
What this record is
- RECORDED — the name, location, active status, and asset/deposit figures are the FDIC's own institution record.
- INTERPRETATION — the "verify before trusting" / impersonation note is general fraud-awareness framing, not a claim about any specific approach made to you.

What this is — and is not
This is a directory record from FDIC BankFind (Institution Directory). It confirms whether an institution is a current FDIC-insured bank by certificate — it is not a safety rating, a solvency judgment, a recommendation, or financial advice, and FDIC insurance covers deposits within limits, not investments. Always confirm the live status and exact legal name at FDIC BankFind before sending money or opening an account.
