Old Second National Bank | Diversity Employer

WE’RE OLD SECOND BECAUSE YOU’RE FIRST.
We are not who we are without you. For more than 150 years, we’ve grown our business by helping our customers grow first. We’ve built our reputation by building up the individuals and businesses in our communities. We design our products and services with your unique needs in mind and your best interests at heart. Much has changed since our doors opened in 1871, but one thing never will. At Old Second, you’re first.

WHY MAKE OLD SECOND YOUR FIRST CHOICE?
Unlike other Chicago-area banks, our heritage traces the advancement and evolution of the banking industry and the growth and expansion of the Chicago metropolitan area. As Old Second expands throughout Chicagoland and the surrounding communities, our commitment to a better banking experience remains steadily on course. Backed by an unwavering sense of financial responsibility and focus on humanity, we've persevered through the most challenging and rewarding economic climates and historical events since the late nineteenth century.

For more than 150 years, Old Second has consistently put businesses and individuals throughout the Chicago area first, and we're only getting started.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO OUR COMMUNITY.
As most of our employees are hired locally, our team is greatly invested in the success and well-being of the communities we serve. We proudly support these communities with time and effort that goes far beyond our banking operations. Our team devotes hundreds of hours each year serving on local boards, rolling up our sleeves on community-betterment projects, as well as other important outreach activities.

We believe supporting the community we work and live in is more than just volunteering, it’s our responsibility. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

OUR 150-YEAR HISTORY HAS US POISED FOR TOMORROW.
Old Second Bank has been a part of the Chicago landscape for generations, and our history follows the same arc of progress as the community we serve. We invite you to explore that shared journey by reading Banking at the Corner of River and Downer.

Published in 2000, the book commemorates the 75th year of our historic landmark bank building. The electronic version is presented by the Community Foundation of Fox River Valley.
