Community First
We're more than a bank. We're your neighbors, investing in the communities we serve — from small business scholarships to local nonprofit partnerships across Chicagoland.
Every deposit dollar is put back to work funding local mortgages, small businesses, and community organizations. We consistently receive the highest rating available from the FDIC on our Community Reinvestment Act examinations.
Online Banking
Log in to your Neighbors First accounts.
A bank that acts like a neighbor.
We were founded in 1994 with a simple idea: Chicagoland deserves a bank that answers the phone, knows the neighborhood, and shows up when it matters. Three decades later, that's still how we do things.
- Local decisions. Loan approvals and account decisions are made by bankers here in Chicagoland — not a call center in another state.
- One relationship, every service. Personal, business, mortgage, and wealth — coordinated by a single banker who knows your full picture.
- Community reinvestment. Every deposit dollar is put back to work funding local mortgages, small businesses, and community organizations.
