It’s true that some big banks have turned off their lending spigot, but that’s not the case with Wintrust Financial and its Community Banks. We’ve made more than $7.9 billion in new or renewed loans so far this year. It isn’t just about loans, comprehensive treasury management services, or the wealth management solutions we offer. It’s about the relationships we develop and the unmatched level of client service we provide our customers. Here are some of their stories. Watch this page for regular updates and more customer stories from Wintrust Community Banks.

Lava Lite

lavaliteTheir Lava Lamps have been cultural icons since the 1960s.

But Lava Lite (www.lavalite.com), offers more than just the classic Lava Lamps:

“Lava Lite is a philosophy. Our fundamental principle - to produce nothing but cool. The original shape of cool™ Lava Lamps. Other cool novelty lighting.  And a  cool web site that interacts with our community of Lava aficionados as well.”

So where did “the original shape of cool” go for their credit line?  They went to Northbrook Bank & Trust and Wintrust Business Credit.
