- Wintrust Financial Corporation Wintrust Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: WTFC), a financial holding company headquartered in Rosemont, Illinois, and founded in 1991, operates community-oriented personal and commercial banking services; specialty finance including premium financing for property, casualty, and life insurance premiums, accounts receivable financing, value-added outsourced administrative services, and equipment leasing; and wealth management encompassing investment management, financial planning, trust services, and separately managed accounts through Wintrust Investments, LLC (member FINRA/SIPC). The company conducts its operations across three primary segments—community banking, specialty finance, and wealth management—serving individuals, small- to mid-sized businesses, local governmental units, and institutional clients primarily in the Chicago metropolitan area, southern Wisconsin, northwest Indiana, and west Michigan. Its banking network includes over 200 locations following recent expansions, with residential lending provided through Wintrust Mortgage, a division of Barrington Bank & Trust Company, N.A. (NMLS #449042), alongside treasury management, digital banking, and customized business solutions such as C&I lending.
In August 2024, Wintrust Financial Corporation completed its all-stock acquisition of Macatawa Bank Corporation for approximately $510.3 million, or $14.85 per share, integrating Macatawa Bank's 26 full-service branches and $2.7 billion in assets located in Kent, Ottawa, and northern Allegan counties, Michigan, thereby expanding its footprint into West Michigan and elevating total assets to about $62 billion. This transaction, the largest U.S. bank deal announced in 2024, aligns with Wintrust's community banking philosophy and enhances product offerings for customers through combined synergies in services and technology. In May 2025, the company executed a strategic refinancing initiative to optimize capital management, while Q3 2025 earnings reflected record net income of $216.3 million, driven by 11% year-to-date loan growth to $52 billion, deposit increases, and strong performance in premium finance and leasing segments. Ongoing organic growth initiatives include commercial banking expansions in markets like Denver, Colorado, with new hires and office relocations to support C&I and middle-market lending.
