Banking for Retail Businesses

The greater Chicago Area is known for its vibrant shopping districts and varied retail landscape. With both large, Chicago-based chains and small, family-owned stores, our retail businesses come in all sizes and specialties.

Because there is so much diversity in our local retail establishments, it’s important to find a banking partner that will work with your business to become familiar with your individual needs, finding suitable and adaptable solutions. At American Community Bank & Trust, we can match you with the right banking products to help you accept and process payments quickly and easily, make payments to both vendors and employees, provide affordable retail business loans, and track their day-to-day financial obligations.

We offer creative solutions and guide you through decisions as if your business was our own.
