Get To Know Us An intense focus on personal service has served us well The First American Bank Story At First American Bank, we're small enough to provide the personal attention that makes you comfortable coming to us for a multi-thousand-dollar auto loan. As the largest privately held bank in Illinois, we're big enough that you can also get multi-million-dollar financing if your company exports auto parts – or anything else. We have a history of excellence dating back 40-plus years, and our banking management team averages 25 years of experience. But we also have cutting-edge Online Banking, Mobile Banking and other digital services, and we're molding the next generation of exceptional bankers with our unique leadership training programs. In some ways, we're a study in contrasts. A community bank at heart with international expertise. Traditional values with a forward-looking philosophy. We prefer to think of ourselves as the total package, a full-service bank with the experience and vision to meet the needs of savers, borrowers and businesses in the 21st century. Big on Financial Expertise First American Bank was founded in Chicago, and over the years expanded to Wisconsin and Florida. Chartered in Illinois and privately held, we now have 61 locations and assets of $5+ billion. What do those numbers mean? As a financial institution, First American Bank is strong and stable. Our foundation is built on a consistent, diversified earnings stream, strong internal equity generation, sound asset quality, and a liquid and conservative balance sheet. And what does all that mean to our customers? You can look forward to a solid, long-term relationship with a bank you can trust. You can depend on us to offer the kind of accounts, lending solutions, and other financial tools that can make your life easier or your business run better.
