In December 1991, Wintrust’s founders opened a storefront community bank in Lake Forest, Illinois.
We knew that customers needed a bank that knew their names, understood their needs, and then went the extra mile for them. More than three decades later, we have grown from a retail bank in one community to a multi-faceted financial services organization with deep roots in communities throughout Chicagoland, Wisconsin, Michigan, and even nationwide.
Today we operate 16 community bank charters, with over 200 branch locations and bank and non-bank business units in more than 30 states, provinces, and territories across the U.S. and Canada. Our unique business model is a competitive strength and value driver, powered by our talented colleagues who make the difference by putting our customers first and achieving demonstrably better results.
Our tellers know our customers by name, our bankers care about local businesses, and our commitment to the community remains unwavering. Joining Wintrust means joining a vibrant and inclusive group where we invest in each other, give back to the neighborhoods we call home, and show through our actions what it means to come together as one.
Creating a better banking alternative begins with investing in you. We believe in mutual growth. We encourage you to try new things, upskill in ways that energize you, and take advantage of leadership and professional development programs that help shape your future.
