“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!”
“Eddie has been our banker since we started our business earlier this year. He’s been an amazing part of our team! He’s very responsive and has helped us reach out to the people we’ve needed to get things done for our business. If you need a banker, he’s your guy! Thanks Eddie!”
“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 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.”
“Carl Oguamanam is great to work with! He has a highly professional team and closing loans together is a breeze! I look forward to many more opportunities to work together. Thanks, Carl!”
“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.”
“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 like that they have a machine to count coins. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. The employees are great at letting you know when your money could be doing more for you. Banking here is a pleasure.”

“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.”
“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.”
“The staff at the Golf Road location in Hoffman Estates, Il is terrific. Thee teller window people are always friendly, personable, and helpful. The personal banking representatives always greet my wife and I by our names, and make us feel more than just customers. Totally great operation.”
“What attracted me to this bank was the friendly staff. While some of my favorites may have changed over the years, one constant is that the staff remains very knowledgeable and pleasant. Presently, my new favorite is Cheryl Miller at the HE Community Bank on Palatine Rd. Great job Cheryl!”
“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.”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“I really like this Bank and all the people that work in it. They are very efficient and friendly. My biggest gripe is that at the drive-in window they don't make the far left window for business transactions. Somebody simply depositing a check should use any other lane. I typically have large Bank envelopes filled with deposits for my business. And I sit in line and wait for Joe average when there are other lanes open and available that I simply cannot use. This is an inconvenience to another wise great bank to do business with.”
“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.”
“Awesome branch with helpful employees. Part of the Wintrust network of banks. I'd much rather support local/regional businesses instead of the mega-corporations. You'll find personalized service and old-school hospitality here.”
“Tom Plonowski and the entire staff at the Wauconda, il branch did an outstanding job, they were efficient, well trained and actually answer phones LIVE everytime with care and follow up. In addition they by far had the best savings rates, highly recommend as true customer service is so hard to find, but so appreciated! Thanks again, Mike from ING is good apparel.”

“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.”
“Victor treated our rather small retirement account with the same attention given to larger accounts. I appreciate his patience in crafting a workable plan for our retirement. I have not always felt valued by other firms, but I do here. I have more confidence in the process based on the financial advice provided.”

“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!”

“I have worked with TD Ameritrade for a number of years and they've been wonderful in the majority of respects. They're not open on Saturdays but I can live with that. Anyway, I happen to use an Adviser on their platform, Creative Planning, that another reviewer had a negative experience with. I did not experience anything negative whatsoever (To the contrary). The Adviser was able to assist me with recognizing several important issues I was unaware of previously which was surely costing me money. I recommend TD Ameritrade and Creative Planning enthusiastically.”
“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.”
