About Us

As one of the five largest privately held banks in Chicago, our business with you is personal. At First Bank Chicago*, we focus on building long term relationships with clients who are making decisions that work for the current fiscal year and the next generation. Our mission is simple - experienced bankers providing customized solutions while serving our community.

Since 1955, we have worked alongside our clients to combine practicality with creativity, while always remaining a consistent and steady financial partner in good and bad economies. We are working with first, second and third generations of entrepreneurs to perpetuate family businesses for generations to come.

We are also focused on the community and meeting the needs of our neighbors. With a bank-wide culture of caring and giving we consistently help support our growing community. Whether it's the hundreds of hours volunteered each year to serve important community organizations or the financial assistance provided by our foundation, we are privileged to support the community that has helped us become one of the largest banks in the Chicago metropolitan market.
