Why a Community Bank

Why We Are a Community Bank

At Itasca Bank & Trust Co., community is at the heart of everything we do. We're here to serve the people, families, and businesses who live and work alongside us.

Help Us Help Our Neighbors
As a lasting commemoration of our 75th anniversary in 2023, we created the Itasca Bank & Trust Co. Hunger Action Fund with the help of DuPage Foundation. This permanently endowed fund generates annual support for local not-for-profits working to address hunger and food insecurity throughout DuPage County. Together with our customers, employees, and community partners, we're building a stronger future.

Double Your Impact in the Fight Against Hunger!
During Hunger Action Month in September, our community’s response to the Itasca Bank & Trust Hunger Action Fund was truly inspiring. Because of your generosity, we’re pleased to share that Itasca Bank & Trust will match all donations made to the Hunger Action Fund between November 1 and December 31, 2025— dollar for dollar!

Give today: donate to the Hunger Action Fund.
We know the holidays can pull you in many directions, and we truly appreciate your kindness and consideration. Together, we can make twice the difference.
