As a locally owned independent bank, Community First is committed to meeting your personal and business financial needs. We offer "REAL" personal service, sound financial management and a strong commitment to our community.

Community First Bank provides Regular Business Checking Accounts and Interest Bearing Checking Accounts.

We know that all banks--large or small--offer similar products and services; however as a locally owned community bank, the staff of Community First Bank pledges you extraordinary service and personal attention--something that is missing at many other banks!

Under Illinois law if you transfer your account to Community First Bank within thirty days of closing an account at another Illinois financial institution and the account owners are the same, you can begin with a check number other than 101. And for your convenience, you can order business checks in many colors and designs securely right over the Internet at Deluxe Corporation .
