Time Bank Announces Agreement to Acquire Northwest Bank & Trust Company

Joe Slavens, president and CEO, has announced an agreement with Time Bank of Park Ridge, IL, to sell Northwest Bank’s community bank activities.  The acquisition will not include the Investment Management Group or the bank’s subsidiary companies, which include Centennial Tax & Accounting, Stratman Solutions, and River Cities Development. Those entities will remain owned by the Slavens family. The sale is still subject to regulatory approval but is expected to be completed at the end of the year.

Time Bank is a family-owned and operated community bank that shares many of the values we have held for over 80 years. They believe in strong relationships with their employees, customers, and community. They are proud of their ability to simplify the most complex elements of banking for their customers and strongly believe in local decision-making and being agile and responsive

A Bank that Understands Economic Development

"I have done loans with a lot of different banks throughout my career, but what really set this one apart is the unique relationship ... Keystone on 8th was a particularly complicated deal with a lot of obstacles to overcome. Northwest Bank had a team of people working to bring it to the finish line. It was a great collaboration. I felt like the bank wanted the project to happen as much as I did."

It’s About the Relationship

"I appreciate that Northwest Bank offers us a full-service, one stop experience. But where it really goes above and beyond is the people. The people at Northwest Bank have taken the time to get to know our business and understand what we do. The fact that we’re working with local bankers who we can sit down with and explain our needs and corporate vision is a huge advantage."
