Why a Community Bank
- Our focus is on the needs of our local communities, families, and businesses, rather than on serving large corporations.
- Our loans are made to local businesses and families, helping keep local communities vibrant and growing.
- The President of Itasca Bank & Trust Co. and its Officers are accessible to customers.
- Loan Officers work in partnership with their business customers, advising them on how to keep their businesses strong.
- Decisions on business loans are made locally, not by underwriters in another state.
- Customers have all of the convenience and services they've come to expect from a big bank, combined with the personalized, friendly service of a community bank.
- Knowledgeable, long-term employees take the time to listen and answer questions.
- Bank Officers are deeply involved in local community organizations: Lion's Club, Rotary, and Chambers of Commerce; they also teach Junior Achievement classes at local schools.
- We support schools, service agencies, nonprofits, and local community projects with money and employee time.
- The Bank sponsors and organizes Town Hall Meetings for many communities – citizens have the opportunity to meet and ask questions of their elected officials.
- For 23 years Itasca Bank & Trust Co.'s Women's InitiativeSM has offered a variety of programs for women, helping to empower them financially and personally. The meetings are a place where women can meet new people, learn new ideas, and become energized.
- We are never too busy to give a Bank tour to a school class, Brownie Troop, or Cub Scout Troop.
- We donate smoke detectors and batteries to local Fire Departments to be given to those who need them.
