“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!”
“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.”
“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 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. :)”
“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.”
“My Debit Card had been hacked by a very bad person (vbp) and the SBOTL Fraud Security Group put a Hold on my account. So I stopped by the Center Street Office on my way to the Vet with my Puppy, and Allison, one of the Many Wonderful Women who works there, took care of Everything, and on the way back from the Vet, I picked up my new Card and EVERYTHING on my Account was Safe, Secure and, as Usual with SBOTL, taken care of Extremely Professionally!”
“I Don't know where we would be financially today, if we hadn't met Gary Komarek at North Shore Asset Mngt. a few years ago. Gary created a plan for us to achieve our goals and we were very pleased with the results. Gary suggests and explains and the final decision is up to you. He doesn't TELL you what to do. Gary is there for you and to help you.A few weeks ago, I lost my husband. I called Gary and he had me come in. I ended up spending over 2 hours in his office while he was taking care of my investments.Gary Komarek is Honest, Dedicated and Knowledgeable.”
“We have been banking with Wintrust for the last couple of years. We have been extremely happy with the service we receive from them. We have been working with Corinna Burgess. Corinna is extremely professional, highly efficient and a pleasure to work with. We hope to continue our relationship with Wintrust for many, many years to come.”
“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!”
““MY” banker Susan Freisheim was helpful and listened to me. Doesn’t always know how to do something for me, but she finds the answers! Other big banks frequently don’t LISTEN! Or the people don’t seem to care. Thank you: SUSAN”
“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.”
