Here when you need us
There’s also a level of accessibility that’s unmatched. “They’re always here,” O’Gorman says. “I have a personal account, a business account, a mortgage, you know, any time I’ve needed something, they’ve come through.”
Over the years, O’Gorman has worked closely with Bob Hutchinson, Wheaton Bank & Trust CEO, for his business banking needs. Hutchinson explains why banking at Wintrust is different. “The staff at Wintrust is really the secret sauce in making the whole model work,” he says. “We can make decisions locally—instantly—that help a person achieve their financial goals. That’s a difference maker.”
This locality extends beyond decision-making, presenting itself as a building block of community. With real roots in the neighborhoods they serve, Wintrust employees are truly active members of the community, serving on boards and participating in volunteer opportunities.
As a local business owner, when you bank with Wintrust, there’s a level of respect—an understanding that your business means so much more than a job. “I’ve seen businesses like Dick’s make a difference in their communities, much like we do. That tells you something about how well they operate,” says Hutchinson.
And the feeling is mutual. “They take care of me how I would want to be taken care of, and how I want to take care of my guests,” says O’Gorman.
