local, REI-friendly Chicago banks

Svend W.
Posted

I'm in the Chicagoland area and currently banking with a big national bank, but I'm thinking that from a REI perspective that it might be wise to use a smaller local bank that might appreciate my business more and be more flexible about loans than the big guys.

Do people have any recommendations/experiences with more local Chicago banks? 

Thanks in advance.

    Lakeside Bank keeps their commercial loans in-house so they can be more flexible. I believe Byline also has good programs.
