“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“All ladies give excellent care always good actitud and friendly service .Thank you special honor mención for Zahra and Amaira thank you for your patience and appreciate it all ladies. you are so nice.!!”
“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. :)”

5101 Washington St Ste 2L, Gurnee“I have been with this bank since I moved to the area in the early 90's. Love this bank. The people are so nice. I have numerous accounts with them. The only downfall I see with them was when we were looking to get a mortgage with them. The person did not seem very interested in my business. That is the only reason I didn't give them the full 5 stars. I am happy they are in my home town and they have numerous locations to get all my banking done.”
“I have been banking with Lake Forest Bank & Trust and the Wintrust family of organizations for approximately 10 years now. I must say the Lake Forest Bank & Trust family has been amazing to work with in every aspect! Personally, Barb and Nina at the main branch are always a trusted partner that I know can get things done in an efficient and timely manner for me whether I have questions on my existing accounts or am opening a new account. Janice was extremely helpful when I was considering a home equity line of credit. Commercially, I have been well taken care of by Steve when it comes to my small business checking and line of credit accounts as well as a building mortgage loan. Steve was also instrumental in connecting us with contacts at the Small Business Association which allowed us to secure additional funding to expand our business. Robert at Wintrust Mortgage helped secure me a sub-4% loan when it was time for me to purchase a home. He had an excellent team and mortgage process that allowed me to close in 49-days from offer to closing. Apart from networks in the business community, they have a commitment to our local communities and they show it. From participation in local parades and school capital improvement campaigns to supporting the Chicago Cubs and diversity in the workplace and diversity programming for the greater Chicago community, this bank and their leaders are behind me. This type of support, leadership and access to people in the business and local community is why I will continue to partner with Lake Forest Bank & Trust and the Wintrust family.”

“I have made this my favorite bank now. After being with Bank of America and being affected by the COVID Pandemic i no longer had direct deposit. Jose the teller at this bank went above and beyond my expectations when I was using their coin machine ( BTY no fees being a customer already) I accidentally dropped a sentimental medialian. Jose took the initiative to open it that same day and retreats it for me. Amazing customer service and they know my name every time I come in. I get greeted by my name by Marlene.”
