As part of the $129 million merger between Inland Bancorp and Byline Bancorp in July 2023, Inland Bank & Trust merged its operations into Byline Bank. [5]

History

Founded in 1977 [2] as Bank of Villa Park, the banking institution had its name changed twice until 2008: Bank of Illinois in DuPage (May 1987) [2] and AmeriMark Bank (July 1997). [2] In May 2008, Inland Bancorp acquired AmeriMark Bank and its name was changed to Inland Bank & Trust. [2] [6]

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. [7]

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. [7] [8] [9] [10] 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. [7]

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?” [7]

The consent order ending the loss-share agreement [11] also led to Goodwin and other shareholders injecting $30 million in new equity into the bank. [12] Regulators lifted the order in July 2013. [13]

It 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. [14]

Fifteen months after launching digital, card-linked coupons, [15] the bank announced in September 2014 that it had expansion plans with the goal of becoming a public company via an initial public offering. [16] In October, 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 a usual loss-sharing agreement. [14]

In February 2017, Thomas Marvinac was appointed executive vice president and chief credit officer. [17] In March, the bank was sued for racial discrimination regarding a loan modification request; however, the court ruled in favor of the bank via summary judgment. [18]

College Savings Bank

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. [19] The owners of College Savings account filed a $12 million lawsuit against Inland, claiming it withheld information. [20] [21] [22]

In 2019, the courts ruled in favor of Inland, in part, via summary judgment. [23]

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a United States government corporation supplying deposit insurance to depositors in American commercial banks and savings banks. The FDIC was created by the Banking Act of 1933, enacted during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system. More than one-third of banks failed in the years before the FDIC's creation, and bank runs were common. The insurance limit was initially US$2,500 per ownership category, and this has been increased several times over the years. Since the enactment of the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010, the FDIC insures deposits in member banks up to $250,000 per ownership category. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the United States, and according to the FDIC, "since its start in 1933 no depositor has ever lost a penny of FDIC-insured funds".
