The First Business-Focused Bank In The Midwest
There’s a reason we’re called First Business Bank.

Founder Jerry Smith reinvented banking over thirty years ago, launching a business-focused bank that addressed the unique needs of business owners. 

By employing bankers and entrepreneurs, each with expertise in their clients’ business, Jerry sparked an idea that each of our now 300+ employees holds close. A client focus leads to expertise, which leads to client success.
