“The bankers here are always helpful, efficient and always smiling . They ask how you’re doing and do such an incredible job! I’ve always had a great experience at this location. Today my banker was Josh, thanks Josh.”
“Great business place! Easy and fast service. Amar was my bank teller and he made it a convenient and safe transaction for me. Would definitely recommend him! Will be coming back to this branch.”
“I had a fantastic experience meeting with Gary at North Shore Asset Management and Tax Advisory. He was extremely kind, approachable, and generous with his advice during our discussion. Even though I’m not his typical client, being in my 20s, he took the time to guide me thoughtfully and provided insights that I believe will have a lasting impact on my financial future. Gary is also very military-friendly, which makes his guidance even more valuable for service members and veterans. Highly recommend Gary and North Shore Asset Management and Tax Advisory for anyone looking for knowledgeable and genuinely helpful advice!”
“Saya was a great help to me opening my checking and savings account, her customer service skills are wonderful always smiling and answering any questions i had thanks again Saya your the best Go open up an account ask for Saya!”
“I had an excellent experience with Gaby Balbino. Despite it being close to closing time, Gaby went above and beyond to help me set up my business account. She was incredibly fast, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. What stood out most was her friendly and helpful attitude—she made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. I truly appreciate her dedication and willingness to assist, even when it might have been easier to ask me to come back another day. Thank you, Gaby, for your exceptional service!”
“For once, an honest and caring bank to do business with. I didn't have anything but good experiences at Wintrust. I suggest switching over to them instead of BMO and Chase. Because for once, they're an example of how a bank should treat its customers.”
“The employees at Deerfield Bank & Trust are wonderful. They go out of their way to help you. I have had interactions with both Liliana and Irina and they are very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I highly recommend this bank.”
“The teller (? Jarvana) at the drive up window went above & beyond to assist my mom with ordering a new debit card. Her help & extra time/phone call was greatly appreciated.”
“I called Barb Kubas needing a letter written and notarized. She was so very helpful got me what I needed in under an hour. This is a perfect example of why we bank with Lake Forest Bank. Excellent customer service!”
“Ive been banking here for many years. Their personal banking services, and their customer services are absolutely great. Their tellers are always friendly and their personal bankers (especially Catherine and Denise) are super helpful. Their online bill pay works well for both business and consumer banking and allows transfers, etc. They always have good coffee and snacks/treats for the kids and in general it is a pleasure to stop by the bank. I've never tried to borrow money from Wintrust.”
“I absolutely love LFB. I don't even live in Lake Forest, but my sister does and LFB is her bank so I'm a devoted customer. The personal relationships that they form with their customers is such a refreshing way to do business. Shilpa and Tom are just fantastic - they seem to know everyone who walks in and they have the same professionalism and friendly demeanor with each and every customer, every time. Also, I've been to the drive thru at the other branches when I have my dog in the car with me and they always send a dog treat out for him with my deposit slip. Such a small gesture sets LFB from the other massive banks who have to seek out government assistance because their ridiculous fees aren't enough to keep them afloat. If you are tired of being just another number at your bank and not being able to talk to a human when you call, go see Shilpa or Tom!”
“Donya was so very helpful to me today! I had a big coin stash to cash in and she assisted me even though I do not have an account at Northbrook Bank. I will honestly think about going to this bank now because of the amazing level of customer service she provided. Both ladies at the front were very welcoming and helpful. I cannot thank them enough! It is so nice to go in and be helped to this degree.”
“I have never dealt with a bank where the customer service is so amazing. The tellers are friendly, the receptionist is so welcoming and the personal bankers are knowledgeable and understanding! I have dealt with many banks in the past but nobody can compare to the Lake Forest main bank! I will do as much business with LF bank as possible. Thank you for keeping the personal touch.”
“When I lived in Mundelein this was my preferred bank. It was a bummer when I had to go to the bank on Maple, but it was only because this bank didn't have the printer to give me a new debit card. I assume because they're a smaller establishment? The employees were always very kind to me and my children (if they tagged along). Complementary coffee, water, and candy was sometimes available if there was a wait for a banker. If I ever did have an issue they were very apologetic and worked hard to resolve my problem. I know most are quick to leave negative reviews, but after moving away I miss this bank. I now frequent a Wintrust near my new residence and it can't hold a candle to this branch.”
“Wow - very impressed with their customer service at this location! The bank teller was very helpful, warm and attentive. This location and Gurnee are always wonderful. Steer clear from the branch in Libertyville! A complete nightmare there!!On a brighter note, this location deserves 5 stars and more. The bank teller went above and beyond leaving very pleased with my banking experience.”
“Ryan is very knowledgable about the college planning process. I was suprised at the ways we needed to move our money around in order to take advantage of all the grants & scholarships that are offered.”
“From the first time I walked in they were extremely accommodating. They answered all of my questions (of which there were many) and helped me set up my account. I've been back to the branch a couple more times and they are always eager to help and have a great attitude.”
“Kristina, Marty and their staff go above and beyond in order to ensure customer satisfaction. I transferred a lot of my accounts from another bank and it was a great decision. I highly recommend Wintrust Bank especially the Norridge and Des Plaines branches.”
“Debra has been handling my taxes for years. Excellent CPA. She has incredible knowledge and a tremendous amount of experience.
Highly recommend her services!”
“Needed a large sum of nickels- the wonderful ladies at this branch accommodated my request that day; even provided me with a bag to carry all the coins. The transaction went smooth. Super professional and such fabulous customer service something that is lacking these days. Thank you!!!!”
“My dad has a local account here and the tellers are very nice. I hate to say it, but I am very lazy and use the drive-thru window instead of walking into the bank. I especially like the holiday decorated deposit slips that they use...a little cheer for the sometimes drab winter weather. A word to the wise, don't even attempt to make a left turn headed westbound on Shermer or you're asking for an accident.”
“I have been banking with Village Bank since they opened up quite a few years ago. I have always found the employees very helpful and friendly. I usually go to the Palwaukee Plaza branch, nice people, convenient parking, and a coin counting machine. I can't ask for anything else. Bill R.”
“I have been a customer at Libertyville Bank and Trust since they opened many years ago. I really appreciate the small-town vibe of the bank and the exceptional customer service they provide. I have recommended the bank to many friends who have had to pay fees to withdraw their own money from their banks. :)”
“First off I have to say Miss Nancy , is one of the most, professional , down to earth , and authentic individuals I've ever met in my life! Not only does this place have extremely welcoming energy ,
but you can actually feel that these people have your best interest at heart unlike some of these big banks. This feels like you're right at home. I received my debit card immediately , and I plan on opening a business account with Village as well. I've had chase, bank of America , Huntington , and
I believe Village Bank and Trust is definitely a bank you can trust. Thanks for the recommendation mama lol. And thank you Nancy for going above and beyond. It's people like you that make this world a better place. Such beautiful energy God bless. - Rob GODKIID”
“Best bank around! Been with em for about a decade and they've proved to be helpful, loyal, convenient and just overall enjoyable with a wonderful staff. Hands down- 6 stars!”

“Andrew is very knowledgeable and always available for advice. He helped my wife and me with a setup of a retirement account. Looking forward to working with Andrew to grow our nest egg. Excellent partner and highly recommended.”
“Great staff, they served me quickly and kindly, I'm happy to start this new business. And yes, I'm taking control of my future, working with responsibility and hope, not just chasing wealth, knowing that it's not the ultimate goal. Instead, it's the fuel to accomplish positive things for myself, my family, my church, and society.”
“I wanted to deposit a paper stock certificate into my account. Walked in on a Friday, and Patrick was very helpful and quick to process my request. I was told before that it could take an hour, but I think it only took like 30 minutes. My stocks were available to view on my app on the following Monday, so they processed it very quickly as well. Thank you so much!”
“My wife and I had 6 financial advisors over 15 years, all of which offered only their company’s products for investment. In 2013, on a whim and with some skepticism, we attended a Steve Lewit dinner/seminar. Until that seminar, we had never heard the term “fiduciary”, much less know its meaning. Steve’s presentation sounded interesting and we decided to make an appointment with him to go over our finances. When Steve asked us our priority, we answered monthly income for retirement. Steve and his team then put together a plan that met our retirement income wishes, utilizing products of a few different companies. So we decided to again change advisors and move our assets into Steve’s recommended portfolio. Now, 9-years later, we are very happy to state that those expectations have been exceeded, as our monthly retirement income is more than was planned. A financial advisor that is a fiduciary (like SGL) made all the difference for us. We currently live in a Florida retirement community and recently discussed how lucky we are to have no money worries at this point in our lives. Had it not been for Steve and SGL, we wouldn’t be in this position. And even though we live in Florida, SGL still handles our financial planning and investments, and we couldn’t be happier with the results.”
