Scheduling an appointment gives you the convenience of meeting with one of our specialists at a time that works for you. Having an appointment means you can:

  • Tell us in advance what you'd like to talk about so that we can prepare
  • Make sure there's a specialist at the financial center who can answer your questions
  • Schedule an appointment independently without having to speak directly with an associate
  • Yes, you can visit a financial center without an appointment. Appointments are a time-saving benefit available to you.

    All financial centers have associates who can help you with personal and small business financial needs. In addition, some locations have:

    • Merrill financial solutions advisors with whom you can discuss topics such as saving for retirement, managing retirement income and expenses, and investment options.
    • Mortgage lending specialists available to meet with you in person to discuss:
      • Buying a home
      • Refinancing a home
      • Using the equity in your home
    • Small business bankers who can assist you with more complex business needs.

    Note that appointments can't be scheduled for transactions that would typically be handled by a teller, such as depositing checks, making a withdrawal or balance inquiries.

    The financial center will do its best to have an associate onsite who speaks the language or accommodate your request. However, if someone is not available at that financial center, we will try to provide a translator over the phone or accommodation services to assist with your appointment.

    In circumstances where appointments are not available at your preferred location, phone appointments and self-service options remain available. If you still prefer to schedule an in-person appointment, simply select another location to see what days and times are available.

    We ask for certain information that will help us provide more personalized service during your appointment. In order to protect your privacy, the information you provide will only be used in relation to this appointment. We also collect some information required by law.
