Illini State Bank has a rich history sharing it's beginning in Tonica, Illinois.

Tonica is a town with population of 700. In November, 1913 businessmen and interested citizens came together, and applied for an application to form a Bank, then called (Tonica State Bank). The doors opened for business on February 2, 1914. Through consistent growth in customer service, and economic development in the area, The Farmers State Bank of Lostant was acquired in 1983. The Bank has always kept pace with the community's growth. The officers, directors and personal have worked together to bring additional and improved service and to anticipate future needs. This is what helped bring the bank in Tonica from a "start from scratch" bank to an institution of about $ 60,000,000.00 in assets. With the continued growth, the Bank foresaw growth to the North. In 1992, Illini State Bank, built a new facility on S. Columbia Ave., in Oglesby, and in 1998, we doubled the size of the facility, in order to accommodate the increasing growth, and better serve our customers.
