About

A true community bank. We are committed to the growth and prosperity of the communities in which we live and work. Member FDIC. Equal Housing Lender.

Story

Banking with a face. That's what our customers can expect. You don't have to come into a branch to see that face. It's a philosophy. A philosophy of service and commitment that is so ingrained in our culture that our customers and the community define us based on the long-term relationships we have together. Our customers value the importance of long-lasting and durable relationships—relationships that can withstand the unpredictable nature of business cycles and financial environmental changes.

Founded in 1995, First Bank & Trust sought to fill a community and commercial bank void in a Chicagoland banking market plagued by big banks and mergers. Now, over 20 year later, FB&T continues to be the premier community-minded commercial bank in the Chicago area.

As a locally-owned and operated bank, FB&T is focused on building and preserving relationships with middle-market businesses, nonprofit organizations and individuals throughout the Chicago area and its suburbs. Our community roots, commercial capabilities and financial strength continue to foster our growth.

First Bank & Trust is a true community bank. They are very active in Evanston supporting local causes. Their lenders and management actively volunteer and serve on the board of many local non-profit organizations. I have used them for both residential and commercial loans and my commercial banking. There lenders are exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced. While many banks seem to have lenders that are here today and gone tomorrow, theirs have been with them a long time. Their people are very friendly. It is a pleasure to do business with them. Gary Peterson

Great service

Easily the best bank in Evanston, not only in relative terms (which would be a pretty low bar, if you've had the misfortune of banking at one of the local branches of the bigger chain banks), but by any standards. This bank's customer service and products offered are head and shoulders above their bigger competition. I always receive prompt and courteous treatment, even when I come in on a Saturday morning in sweatpants not looking like someone with a business account, fees are reasonable, and tellers are knowledgeable and friendly. Rarest of all, personal bankers aren't pushy in the slightest; when they do offer products, it's during appropriate times and for specific and useful purposes. I only give four stars rather than five because they do not offer any sort of free checking, which most community banks do. In all other ways, however, this is my go-to bank for both business and personal accounts. Highly recommended.

@charles the place has been robbed but hasn't been robbed since they put security there and that was back in '08. So before you give the criminal report at least rate the bank for its customer service. Can't speak for church st but the picture is of the main st location and they are great. Everybody from security to the bankers. Not the average bank. They really are an excellent bank.
