Wintrust is a financial services company based in Rosemont, Illinois. We 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 small, local establishment.
Through our family of more than 175 community bank locations, Wintrust provides 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.
Wintrust’s success is built on its strong values and culture, much like the accomplishments of the members of the Titan community. Wintrust has grown with an entrepreneurial spirit, focusing on customer-centric service, commitment to the communities we serve, and developing and empowering our employees. These values embody the achievements and vision of the Titan community, which we proudly support.
