Not for Profit Accounts
As a locally owned and managed bank, First Bank & Trust knows something about "community." And the Not-For-Profit Account was developed to assist community organizations in achieving their goals.
The account clusters a number of services that meet the needs of associations, charities, schools and other Not-For-Profit organizations.
Not-For-Profit organizations need to keep their money working towards the programs which they foster. The Not-For-Profit Account features were developed to easily and inexpensively help those who help our community. We believe in your mission and here’s how we wish to show it:
Corporate Accounts - Free
Your organization account–whether an operating account, a payroll account or any special account–will never be subject to a monthly service charge.* Also, your first order of checks is free, up to 120 safety paper checks.
Employee Accounts - Free also
Because your employees do such good work for the community, we will waive the basic monthly service charges on traditional checking accounts for your salaried employees.*
*Other service charges such as overdraft charges may apply.
Easy and Inexpensive Credit Card Processing
If you’re a Not-For-Profit organization that would like to accept charges for an event, we can help.
Many Not-For-Profit organizations avoid the modern, convenient practice of accepting credit cards. But at First Bank & Trust, we’ve minimized the costs and found a way to minimize the effort on your part.
Fees have been reduced for Not-For-Profit organizations to $15.00 per event, plus 3.00% of the transaction dollars. There is no need to buy equipment. We provide it all!
So that your event can run smoothly, we will do the electronic processing for you. Just bring us the signed sales slips and we’ll do the rest.
Low Cost Credit
First Bank & Trust can provide or, in some cases, arrange with a government agency, the most appropriate loan at market rates when the need arrives.
Speaker's Bureau
Officers of our bank are available to speak to your employees, your constituents, your members, your students on such issues as money management skills, how the banking system works and how to obtain credit. We are a community-oriented bank.
Conference Rooms
We have available at many of our locations, conference rooms for use by qualified community groups. Please call us at 847/733-7400 to make arrangements.
As a community owned and managed bank, we thank you for your efforts in helping others. The Not-For-Profit Account is our way of expressing our thanks and helping you.
