Mercantile Bank Corporation reported a net income of $11.6 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. The results reflect solid growth in core commercial loans and residential mortgage loans, a higher level of net interest income, increases in all key fee income categories, and sustained strength in asset quality.

Based on a dynamic financial position, healthy loan pipelines, and identified client acquisition opportunities, Mercantile Bank believes it is well positioned to continue delivering solid operating results, growth levels and returns to investors.
