About Us
Our Commitment to the Community
At BankChampaign, you can always Bank on Better.
BankChampaign has over 30 years of experience providing financial products and services for personal, commercial, and investment customers in the community. We are a true community bank, providing exceptional relationship-based service to each customer. Our staff has unparalleled expertise in commercial banking, investment management and trust services.
As a locally owned bank, we share our customers’ vision for success and are committed to providing better service, better products, and better advice to help you navigate milestones and meet your financial goals-no matter what stage of life you’re in. Whether you’re just starting out, preparing for retirement, or planning your estate and setting up a trust, you deserve better when it comes to your bank. It is our mission to not only build strong relationships with our customers but to give back to the community that we serve and grow together.
We don't just say we are a true community bank, we show it.
At BankChampaign, community support is at the heart of who we are. We’re proud to give back through both financial donations and the volunteer efforts of our officers and staff, helping local organizations make a lasting difference.
We’ve supported the Champaign County CASA as a Pinwheel Project sponsor, the College of Veterinary Medicine’s Wildlife Medical Clinic, which provides care for injured and orphaned wild animals; the United Way’s Emergency Shelter for Families, offering temporary housing and case management for families in crisis; the Eastern Illinois Foodbank, serving 18 counties across east-central Illinois; and Moore’s Rescue Ranch, a local shelter dedicated to finding loving homes for pets with disabilities – just to name a few.
In addition to our monthly non-profit recipients, our Officers also serve on the Boards of several organizations including Crisis Nursery, Family Service, Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, CU at Home, and two of our Officers are mentors in the iRead iCount program.
Supporting education has also been part of who we are at BankChampaign, including contributions to University of Illinois scholarship programs that have helped local students achieve their goals.
To us, being a community bank means investing in the well-being of our neighbors and the future of the community we serve. Contact us for more information.
