History of the Bank

LincolnWay Community Bank was granted a charter on August 26, 2005 and opened its doors in a temporary facility on August 29, 2005. On January 30, 2006 the bank moved to its permanent facility at 1000 E. Lincoln Highway (southeast corner of Marley and Rt. 30) in New Lenox. The community has shown great support by purchasing the initial 1,500,000 shares of stock in less than 60 days. The bank now operates from a two story building with drive up lanes and an ATM.

With the sale of the last remaining local bank based in New Lenox, the area was in need of a new community bank. Our ten founding organizers all felt the same way. Each of them had experienced the frustrations of the changes taking place at the banks that had merged or sold to larger institutions. As a result of this, LincolnWay Community Bank was born.

At LincolnWay Community Bank the decision makers are right here. Unlike other banks, our bank does not have to wait for a decision from another city or state. The staff here at LincolnWay Community Bank is experienced and friendly. Everyone here wants to make a difference to our customers and provide outstanding customer service.

LincolnWay Community Bank is bringing back old fashioned community banking, banking the way it should be.
Community. Banking. Commitment.
