Wintrust Community Banking

As a family of community banks with more than 100 locations across Chicagoland, we have a unique view of banking. We believe that community banking begins with our customers, offering accounts and services that they want and need. Where customers are known by name and made to feel welcome as soon as they come in the door. It sounds simple, but most banks just don't do it.

We believe in the kind of banks that are able to meet each customer's needs for life. Where kids learn about saving and get their first checking account and debit card to help all the way through college. Where all of a family's financial events from the household checking account to trust and estate planning will be as important to the bank as they are to the family. It is where our senior generations can find security and comfort in specially tailored senior products and services that meet their unique needs.

We believe a bank should be a good neighbor; friendly, helpful and generous. That bank should become an important part of the community, help it solve its problems and plan for its future.
