For more than 80 years, Cole Taylor has served the banking needs of Chicago-area businesses and the people who own and manage them. As a specialist in serving closely-held and family-managed businesses, we have clearly differentiated ourselves from competing providers of financial services.

Because we are a family-managed business and a subsidiary of Taylor Capital Group, we understand the challenges our customers face every day. Our focus is on performance and our commitment is to move at the speed of our customers’ needs – we never slow them down. With the personal involvement of our owners, a flat organization, strong management team and knowledgeable staff, Cole Taylor has grown to become one of Chicago’s largest independent banks with nearly $4 billion in assets.
