Dena Meese, BSA Officer

Trusted and True.

Dena serves as a valued member of the Farmers & Merchants Bank team, working as a BSA Officer. With years of experience in banking and customer service, she brings a wealth of knowledge to her role, particularly when it comes to ACH and wire processing, which she truly enjoys. Her expertise, paired with her genuine care for the team and customers, makes her an integral part of FMB’s hometown spirit.

What Dena values most at Farmers & Merchants Bank is the supportive, team-oriented environment where everyone is always ready to lend a helping hand. The bank’s dedication to doing right by customers perfectly aligns with her own work philosophy: Do your job with care and always be kind.

Homegrown Heart.

Outside of work, Dena finds joy in spending time with her family, especially attending sports and events for her grandchildren. She also enjoys quiet moments with a good book.

Dena is involved in her Homeowners Association and serves as a foster parent. And here’s a fun fact: she’s related to none other than the infamous bank robber Jesse James—but fortunately for us, her loyalty lies firmly with the right side of the vault.
