Inland has 10 branches, all of which are in the west suburbs of Chicago.[4] The bank has invested approximately one-third of its assets in commercial real estate.

History

The bank was founded in 1977 as Bank of Villa Park.[2]

In May 1987, its name was changed to Bank of Illinois in DuPage.[2]

In July 1997, its name was changed to AmeriMark Bank.[2]

In May 2008, Inland Bancorp acquired AmeriMark Bank and its name was changed to Inland Bank & Trust.[2][5]

In November 2012, the FDIC and Illinois Division of Banking reversed a unique arrangement that let the bank appear profitable during the Recession of 2008 by shifting responsibility for losses to an undisclosed sister company owned by Goodwin.[6] Inland Bank submitted bids to the FDIC for multiple banks while the arrangement enabled it to hide losses, and won a 2011 bid for First Choice Bank in Geneva, Illinois.[6][7][8][9] Prior to the regulatory intervention, Inland Bank had tripled in size in five years by acquiring First Choice Bank and banks in Countryside, Illinois and Lake Zurich, Illinois.[6]

An Oak Park-based consultant to community banks at the time told Crain’s Chicago Business that “You don't want outliers with regard to financial institutions. This was an outlier. Regulators just want to know if you're healthy or you're not healthy. . . . Why should (Inland) be treated differently than the other $1 billion-plus banks in the same situation?”[6]

The consent order ending the loss-share agreement[10] also led to Goodwin and other shareholders injecting $30 million in new equity into the bank.[11] Regulators lifted the order in July 2013.[12]

Inland Bank received a total of $731,404 in financial awards from the United States Department of the Treasury’s Bank Enterprise Award Program (“BEA”) from 2009 to 2013 while the loss-share agreement and then the consent order were in effect. The Treasury Department has faced criticism concerning whether it was appropriate to reward Inland Bank while it was hiding loses in sister companies and whether Inland Bank should have received a reward for supporting Pan American Bank while both banks were majority-owned by Goodwin.[13]

In June 2013, the bank launched digital, card-linked coupons.[14]

In October 2014, the Illinois Securities Department issued a subpoena regarding Inland Bank’s transactions with Inland American Real Estate Investment Trust (now InvenTrust Properties), with the possibility that investors in InvenTrust covered losses incurred by the bank as a result of an usual loss-sharing agreement.[13]

In September 2014, the bank announced expansion plans with the goal of becoming a public company via an initial public offering.[15]

In 2015, the bank cancelled the acquisition of College Savings Bank of Princeton, New Jersey after the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation objected to the transaction.[16] The owners of College Savings account filed a $12 million lawsuit against Inland, claiming it withheld information.[17][18][19] In 2019, the courts ruled in favor of Inland, in part, via summary judgment.[20]

In February 2017, Thomas Marvinac was appointed executive vice president and chief credit officer.[21]

In March 2017, the bank was sued for racial discrimination regarding a loan modification request; however, the court ruled in favor of the bank via summary judgment.[22]

gollark: Which ones are almadines again?
gollark: It seems that either purple siyats are one of those things which don't get asked for much but can be put up and are valuable, or the market for them is doubleplusungood now.
gollark: How bizarre. I didn't get a single ridiculous offer on my 4 purple siyats.
gollark: WHY, four thing per trade limit.
gollark: I'll probably just ask for two coppers/xenos or one silver and see how far that goes.
