Welcome to Lakeside! We're a family-owned Chicago bank. In 2022, we'll be 56 years old. We've grown to over $2.4 Billion in assets and ten branches throughout the city & suburbs. Our dramatic growth is due to how we work. Simply put, we build Relationships. And we build them to last. Our people have the authority to make decisions. Our clients get customized service at impressive speed. Importantly, EVERY Lakeside client has their own Lakeside Banker. That's the way we've always worked. And always will. Our combination of responsibility, tailored products and urgency means our people and our clients stay "Lakesiders" for years, decades, even generations. Yes, Relationships make a difference! Beginning in 1966 in the South Loop, we've grown to ten FULL SERVICE branches throughout Chicagoland. Every Lakeside branch is fully staffed. Retail Bankers. Commercial Loan Officers. Mortgage Loan Consultants. We're never a room with an ATM and a video screen. Whatever banking service you need, you'll find at all ten Lakeside branches. Even our Tellers are Bankers. We're unique in the Chicago market; big enough to get virtually anything done ... and yet nimble enough to customize and move fast. Our growth through the years is based on one client, one neighborhood, at a time. Join us! Once you're a Lakesider, you'll quickly see how Relationships define us.
