Notable institutions with their headquarters in Lafayette or the surrounding region include Purdue Federal Credit Union, Lafayette Community Bank, Industrial Federal Credit Union, Fowler State Bank, and The Farmers and Merchants Bank, which is the oldest institution still operating in the area, having been established in 1903. There are many other banks and credit unions with operations in the area, however.
