With the benefit of 40 years of industry experience in Southeast Michigan, Rob Farr has a vision of how a bank can work effectively with its clients to help them achieve their financial goals and objectives.
Throughout his career, Rob has distinguished himself in leadership positions at iconic institutions including Michigan National Bank, Old Kent Bank, TCF Bank, and Comerica Bank before founding Bank of Birmingham in 2006. Bank of Birmingham’s success led to its acquisition by Bank of Ann Arbor in 2017.
Continued industry consolidation coupled with encouragement of bank regulators to form new banks, helped convince Rob there is a need for a new bank that provides customized, effective solutions for business owners and is built on establishing and nurturing personal relationships with its clients. And so, Mi BANK was born.
Rob’s commitment to connecting with others is reflected in his personal life as well. He and his wife, Laurie, have spent countless hours and days working with organizations such as The Community House, the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce, Christ Child Society, United Way, and Metropolitan Affairs Coalition.
Rob earned a Bachelor of Science in Business at Michigan State University.
As President, Jenny Meier is responsible for creating the culture of exceptional customer service and personalized business solutions that defines the Mi BANK experience.
Jenny has worked in and mastered virtually every facet of banking, rising from teller to president in her two decades of banking. Most recently, she served as President of the Birmingham District of the Bank of Ann Arbor. This position grew from her role as Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer of Bank of Birmingham, where she made an indelible mark on the bank’s creation and success.
Jenny earned a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Walsh College where she graduated with honors, and a Master of Business Administration from Oakland University. However, when it comes to working with the public, she credits her internship at Disney with giving her an irreplaceable understanding of how to create exceptional guest experiences. And she brings all of this knowledge to bear as a board member of the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce.
Outside of work, Jenny loves to cook for her family and spend time with her family. And as a native Michigander, she also loves to spend time in our great outdoors skiing, boating, hiking, and travelling.
