Our Roots Are HereIn 1991, Wintrust's founders set up shop in a northern Chicago suburb with a simple goal: to provide an alternative to the big banks. Now, more than 30 years and 175 locations later, we’ve stayed true to that original mission.
Who We AreWintrust is a financial services company based in Rosemont, Illinois. Through our family of more than 175 community bank locations, and related companies and divisions, we offer: traditional commercial and community banking serviceswealth management guidancemortgage originationcommercial insurance premium financingshort-term accounts receivable financing and administrative servicesWintrust Community Banks® provide customer-oriented, personal and commercial banking services to communities in and around Chicago, southern Wisconsin and northwest Indiana. Our banks go above and beyond banking solutions to be real assets to the communities we serve. We host financial education courses, hold community events, and throw neighborhood cookouts. And, we believe in supporting our local communities by sitting on local boards, getting involved with local organizations, and sponsoring local events.
Our Philosophy and MissionWe were created to be the alternative to our big bank competitors. That means, no matter which of our banks, companies, or divisions you engage with, our customers and clients come first. We offer the resources and tools of a large company with the personal attention and customer focus you expect from a local, smaller establishment.
