The Experience of Exceptional Service

The SBT story begins in 1976 with the organization of Suburban Bank of Elmhurst by a group of Elmhurst businessmen. Included on the Board of Directors were Al Nowczyk, Dan Bash and David B. Hill, Jr. Each of these men served as Chairman, CEO, and President. After Mr. Hill's death in 2002, Blanche E. Hill became Chairman of the Board, CEO, and President.

The original site at 150 Butterfield Road is the main branch of SBT. The Commercial Loan Department and the Trust Department are also headquartered at the main branch.

With the acquisition of First Security Bank of Wood Dale in 1996 and Southwest Financial Bancorp in 1997, SBT grew to seven branches. In 1998, SBT opened its eighth branch in north Elmhurst and in 2000, SBT opened its ninth branch in Oak Lawn. The Wheaton branch was opened in 2005.
